Summary
Instagram was Prochazka’s chosen platform to reject reports that his next bout is set, writing that the fight is “not confirmed yet” and warning fans not to believe “every bullsh*t on internet.”
April’s UFC 327 loss to Carlos Ulberg remains his last appearance, when Prochazka was knocked out in a vacant light heavyweight title fight that swung after Ulberg fought through a knee injury.
Paulo Costa has been one rumored opponent after his 205-pound knockout of Azamat Murzakanov at UFC 327, but Prochazka did not name any matchup in his statement.
Five numbered UFC events remain in 2026, with Sept. 331 looking crowded and Oct. 3’s UFC 332 in Salt Lake City still lacking a headliner, making that card a possible landing spot.
