Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena witnessed an electrifying night on Saturday as Jiri Prochazka faced Khalil Rountree Jr. in a pivotal showdown in the under-93 kg division on the UFC 320 main card.
The fight began cautiously, with both fighters trading strikes in the center of the octagon. Rountree showcased his threat with precise low kicks and heavy shots, while Prochazka appeared slightly on the back foot early on, yet maintained his composure. Round two continued with relentless exchanges, as Prochazka looked for openings to attack despite the American “War Horse”’s solid defense.
Round three exploded into a full-scale war, with both athletes trading hooks, elbows, and knees in a brutal back-and-forth. At the pivotal moment, Prochazka gained the upper hand, landing a devastating flurry of strikes that drove Rountree against the cage before sending him down with a spectacular left hook for a thrilling KO victory.
With this stunning win, Prochazka earns his second consecutive victory before the final bell, maintains his rank in the under-93 kg division, and positions himself for another shot at the title, following his January victory over Jamahal Hill.
The message is loud and clear: Prochazka proves that Morocco is alive and thriving on the global MMA stage.
