This guy is such a monster that they drug tested him a record 51 times in 1 year - they seemed almost certain that he had to be on the juice. Yet he passes them all, what a legend, mad respect to Jiri.

That spinning back elbow against Reyes is probably one of my favorite knockouts of his. It's both calm and savage at the same time.

[@Kevinopilous]

You can see the moment Reyes bury his heels in the sand and decide he won't go down without a fight and Jiri still knocked him out, that fight was nuts.

[@Martin_Bernard]

Prochazka got KOed for a second by an upkick in that fight, he was lucky to survive

@@Martin_Bernard another reason why that knockout was smooth 👌

[@leveluppupgaming7207]

And now he's the UFC Light Heavyweight Champ. What a warrior! Edit: he's no longer the champion, but it's because he vacated it after being injured because he didn't want to hold back other fighters from having their shot at the belt whilst he recovers. This man is quickly becoming one of my favorite fighters. All others should follow his lead in the sport.

[@Osvath97]

Am I the only one who thinks that - especially as he got more mature - he has great self-control after defeating his opponents? It is like he knows exactly when his opponent is defeated, and stops himself mid-momentum, sometimes before even the referee seems to have fully reacted. That is a very admirable aspect, and perhaps it is even a bit risky if you misjudge it.

[@bmustardman]

yeah i hate when people punch unconscious people when they are obviously done, i get it, but when its super obvious just stop

[@tvojemanka]

it's his moral code, He doesn't want to hurt people as he once said, his whole journey is about having control all the time and Filly focusing with clear mind, that's also why he doesn't celebrate after he finishes the fight, just what he does, his way

I can't help it, but that one-two Oezdemir KO from the perspective that looks on Jiri's back is just textbook perfect. That slowmo looks like a movie. In a fight things don't have to look nice to be effective but damn, I could watch that KO 24/7 and still be amazed.

[@electronicpower1826]

In Document about him called "THE WAY" (You can check on his ytb channel) he was talking about his training one-two. On Miamuto Musashi (his big motivation) birth day he went on mountin, with just few bottles of water and he was practicing one-two 24 hours straight with no pause. I mean you can really see on this KO he mastered it really well.

Man... Watching some of Denisa's flying knees is hypnotic. There's so little visible preparation movement. It's as if all his tendons coiled like springs and he just bounces into flight like some damn videogame character. I'm happy the he learned how to use it to force his opponents to block low and catch them with a solid one-two. It's a solid strategy. And I know of him for a few years, but am surprised how good his on the ground fighting is, even though it largely consists of escaping. Makes for great shows.

[@Munenushi]

notice how those who lost, lost for different reasons: - hands not up, lowered defense - looked away/down too long - tucked head but then kept looking down so many lost by not keeping their eyes on the opponent and either closing them or looking away Some great setups by Mr.Prochazka, bringing people's hands down then going for the head, including a nice kick feint at 8:34 which brought the opponents hands down for the head strikes. Oezdemir is a great counter-fighter (allowing the opponent to begin a strike, then using the opening to attack), so Mr.Prochazka began to become a counter-fighter as well, not only allowing the opponent to start attacks, but also used his own attacks as counter-attack instigators ( at 18:47 he uses his knee attack, whether it was a fake or not, to take advantage of the lowered arms for a 1-2 to the head). Fantastic video!
