After the UFC 327 struggle, Magomed Ankalaev had the next phrases for Jiri Prochaska:
Prochaska shared the Octagon with Carlos Wolberg and hoped to change into a two-time UFC mild heavyweight champion. Ullberg injured his knee early within the match. Many felt this may be the start of the top for “Black Jug,” however Prochaska obtained caught on a hook and fell to the mat. Ullberg landed a punch on the bottom and secured the knockout victory.
After the match, Ankalaev poured salt into the wound by tearing into Prochaska’s efforts with a sequence of ‘X’ posts.
“Giri won’t ever communicate of me once more,” Ankalaev wrote. “If you wish to struggle, you’ll be able to simply speak about me. None of those guys are on my stage. Congratulations, Carlos. Prochaska has been knocked out in three of his final six fights. I do not wish to hear his identify within the title image anymore, that is sufficient.”
When the state of affairs was resolved, Prochaska claimed that he let his guard down when he noticed Ulberg injured. Ankalaev believes that is an excuse.
“He saved kicking Carlos’ legs,” Ankalaev continued. “He confirmed no mercy. It is faux.”
There’s a historical past of phrases exchanged between Ankalaev and Prochaska. Again in October 2025, Prochaska informed Ariel Helwani that he was contemplating confronting Ankalaev and his supervisor Ali Abdelaziz over feedback made about him earlier than UFC 320.
Prochaska even admitted that she is rooting for Alex Pereira to defeat Ankalaev in a rematch. In any case. “Poitan” stopped Ankalaev with a first-round TKO. Ankalaev hasn’t fought since then, however maybe a matchup with Prochaska is sensible at this stage.
