\nProchazka<\/a> is standing by his claim that Carlos
\nUlberg<\/a>\u2019s injury caused him to let up in the UFC 327<\/a>
\nheadliner.<\/p>\n
\nbelt on April 11 at the Kaseya Center in Miami. Ulberg appeared to
\nbe in a dire situation after injuring his knee early in the bout,
\nbut \u201cBlack Jag\u201d was able to claim 205-pound gold with an improbable
\nfirst-round knockout of Prochazka. In the aftermath of the defeat,
\nProchazka lamented showing mercy on his opponent when he realized
\nUlberg was injured. That stance has caused the Czech standout to
\nreceive some backlash in the MMA community.<\/p>\n
\naltered his position, stating that the moment caused him to lose
\nfocus in the fight. As a result, \u201cBJP\u201d believes he was competing at
\nroughly half of his capabilities against a compromised Ulberg.<\/p>\n
\nbullsh\u2014 here,\u201d Prochazka said. \u201cBecause what I\u2019m hearing all around
\nis complete nonsense and I have to laugh at it. So briefly and the
\nonly thing in the fight: I lost my focus there. Focus on the goal.
\nFocus on the target and that was especially the case when Ulberg
\ninjured his leg. I know what that\u2019s like because exactly this
\nhappened to me once in a fight in Japan. I fought through that
\nmatch, but I know what it\u2019s like. The pain, the struggle, so all
\ncredit to him for managing to keep a cool head, for catching me
\nwith that hook.<\/p>\n
\nto him, I wasn\u2019t at 100% anymore. I was at maybe 40, 50% of my
\nperformance and I was just sparring and waiting for the referee to
\nstop the fight at any moment. It was a big mistake. Maybe one of
\nthe biggest. I don\u2019t want to beat myself up about it nonstop.
\nBecause the most important thing is to always learn from it and
\nmove forward stronger. So that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\nFocus on Family<\/h2>\n
\ngoing to take some time to focus on family before he plans his next
\nmove in the UFC.<\/p>\n
\nthe next fight in about a month,\u201d Prochazka said. \u201cBecause right
\nnow it\u2019s time to focus purely and mainly on my family. Even though
\nI\u2019m filled with a million emotions from the fight and all those
\nthings are really battling inside me, right now I need to hold my
\nground at home \u2026 and just be the man of the house and enjoy this
\nnew energy that\u2019s come to us through my daughter, our daughter.<\/p>\n
\nof training. To strengthen it again, to be a little better, to stay
\non the way. Strength and honor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nat UFC 327. As a result, it\u2019s unclear when he might be able to
\ndefend the light heavyweight crown. Prochazka believes he might get
\nanother shot at championship gold before Ulberg is cleared to
\ncompete.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAnd I believe that before Carlos returns to the fight, I will
\nfight for the title.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
