Preview
Prochazka maybe rushed to meet Pereira in a rematch. He took that event on a two-week short notice, which eventually came back at him hard when he suffered a ferocious head-kick KO. Previously he defeated Aleksandar Rakic via KO in the second round, though he didn’t look too confident in that one as well.
The Czech fighter is a power puncher, with 26 KOs in 30 wins. He is long, athletic, and very flexible, but he does have some obvious flaws. Prochazka overexposes himself all the time, especially when he decides to attack.
Hill suffered a very tough injury after winning the UFC light heavyweight title, rupturing his Achilles. Now, he wasn’t the type of guy who was very mobile in the octagon, and with this, his movement against Pereira looked pretty limited. We haven’t seen him since, and we don’t know what his state is.
Overall, Hill is a very strong puncher, maybe in Pererira’s rank, but his overall skills are limited. The American isn’t good at wrestling, and his speed isn’t at the highest possible level.
Prochazka vs. Hill Prediction
We pick Prochazka to win this one. He is faster, in shape, doesn’t have to battle with ring rust, and on top of everything, he has more experience.
