Jiri Prochazka is finished with school and now wants to teach Magomed Ankalaev a lesson.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion is ready to reclaim his crown against “Big Ank,” though “BJP” would also be willing to fight Carlos Ulberg if Ankalaev — the current 205-pound titleholder — is busy with Ramadan commitments.
“Breaking news: Alex [Pereira] now asking to fight me during Ramadan again,” Ankalaev wrote on Twitter. “I need more time and the other clown has to do his homework, let me fight Carlos, I think he’s more dangerous than all of them.”
Ulberg (12-1) is seated one spot below Prochazka in the official light heavyweight rankings.
“Hey clown, I finished University, like you finished elementary school (I hope),” Prochazka responded. “And if you don’t want me as your teacher now, I’ll fight Carlos next.”
The red-hot “Black Jag” is coming off a decision win over Jan Blachowicz.
Much of this depends on how matchmakers want to book former champion Alex Pereira, who was expected to rematch Ankalaev in his Octagon return. As for Prochazka (31-5-1), he was last seen putting the hurt on Jamahal Hill at UFC 311 in Anaheim.
