Jiří Procházka on the Miami Night He Says He Focused on an Injury Instead of Winning

On The Ariel Helwani Show, Jiří Procházka says that in Miami he focused on his opponent's injury instead of winning, and that he has worked on himself since.

Quick answer: On The Ariel Helwani Show, Jiří Procházka turns to "that night uh in Miami." There were "a lot of lot of feelings lot of uh things what I what's what's happened," he says, "and I still I didn't understand myself why I did what I did." "Fighters uh reason to fighting is to win," and that, he says, "was something what I uh what I what I what I didn't do because I was focused for his uh for his injury and and all these things." So, he says, "I had to work with all of my own with myself." "I want to be best in this game. I want to be really the best."

The official YouTube title of the November 11, 2026, episode is Jiri Prochazka, Brandon Royval, Alex Hernandez, Yaroslav Amosov, Audie Attar, More | TAHS | 11/11/26. The description says the interview "previews his UFC Qatar main event against Navajo Stirling." UFC lists that bout as the main event of UFC Fight Night: Procházka vs. Stirling, on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at ABHA Arena in Doha, Qatar. The fight had not yet taken place as of November 13, 2026, and this article does not state a result. A November 12 companion covers fatherhood during a Thailand camp, a different topic, and is not repeated here.

The used clip does not name the Miami opponent. Shortly before the used window, in the same interview, Procházka refers to Carlos Ulberg. UFC lists their light-heavyweight title bout as the main event of UFC 327, on April 11, 2026, at Kaseya Center in Miami. UFC's official scorecards report records that "Carlos Ulberg defeated Jiří Procházka by KO (left hook and punches) at 3:45 of Round 1." That result is UFC's, not something he states in the clip. This article does not describe the finish beyond that official line. There is not yet a RealNameOf biography or real-name page for him.

"I still I didn't understand myself"

The used clip starts on his answer. "You know there was uh that night uh in Miami there was a lot of lot of feelings lot of uh things what I what's what's happened," he says, "and I still I didn't understand myself why I did what I did."

He does not, in this cut, spell out a sequence of moments in the fight, or name what the injury was. The confusion he describes is about his own choices. The wording is his, in his own English, and this article leaves it in that form.

A fighter's reason, he says, is to win

Then he states the job as he sees it. "Fighters uh reason to fighting is to win." That, he says, "was something what I uh what I what I what I didn't do because I was focused for his uh for his injury and and all these things."

The "his" is not named in the used window. In context, and from the same interview just before this cut, it is Ulberg. Procházka does not say, here, that he lost, or how the fight ended. He says he was focused on the injury instead of doing what he says a fighter is there to do. Two short pauses in the source were trimmed in the Reel; the sense of the answer does not change.

"I had to work with all of my own with myself"

The conclusion he draws is not about the opponent. "So I had to work with all of my own with myself." Then the reason: "I want to be best in this game. I want to be really the best."

The used clip ends on that line. After the window, he keeps talking about still feeling that way; that continuation is outside this piece, as is the rest of the November 21 preview.
