“I’m happy to be able to (fight) with Aleksandar, because he will prove my technique, my conditioning, my Fight IQ, because with him I have to be 300 percent prepared for everything.
“His style is half striker, half wrestler, and that’s something I’ve been working on over the last year, to bridge striking and wrestling.”

UFC 300 will be Procházka’s fifth time at T-Mobile Arena, but this is his first visit as a competing athlete. The occasion couldn’t be bigger, with the event bringing the most stacked fight card in UFC history. It’s a big night to be a part of, but for Procházka, it’s the perfect test of his temperament, as he looks to stay cool in the hot atmosphere of a huge UFC pay-per-view in Las Vegas.
“I want to enjoy the fight,” he explained.
“I want to show that I am a real professional, because that was a big question for me: how to stay calm in the fight and not get too emotional. That’s what I want to show: keeping the situation under control throughout throughout the fight. This space in the cage belongs to me and I am able to show that I am the winner.
