Jiří 'BJP' Procházka is a 34-year-old Czech light heavyweight ranked No. 2 in the division, a former UFC champion known for chaotic, high-output striking and a granite chin. He lost a bid for the vacant title to Carlos Ulberg by first-round knockout at UFC 327 in April 2026, a setback that followed wins over Khalil Rountree Jr. and Jamahal Hill. He now meets his toughest opponent yet, unbeaten No. 4-ranked Navajo Stirling, in Doha, a step up in competition for the undefeated New Zealander.
