Jiri Prochazka Focuses Solely on UFC 327, Ignores Other Rivals
Jiri Prochazka has narrowed his attention to one task. He enters UFC 327 with total focus on the title fight against Carlos Ulberg.
Single-minded preparation
Prochazka told Filmogaz.com that he is blocking out other contenders. He is treating the upcoming bout as the only thing that matters.
He described eliminating distractions to sharpen his performance. Family matters, including the imminent birth of his daughter, remain important.
How the matchup materialized
The title opportunity arrived after Alex Pereira vacated the light heavyweight belt. Pereira moved to heavyweight to face Ciryl Gane at the UFC White House card in June.
Prochazka has two losses to Pereira. He said the trilogy talk was set aside once he learned he would fight Ulberg.
Training and adjustments
Prochazka prepared for the change by shifting camps well before the public announcement. He spent a month training at high altitude in Mexico City.
He reported that discussions with the promotion and his team started about one and a half months before the matchup became official.
Mental game and visualization
Visualization plays a key role in his routine. He said he privately sees the outcome he wants, but keeps those images to himself.
Prochazka emphasized action over talk. He aims to win the belt, then return home to be with his family.
