Right now, things are looking pretty exciting at 205 pounds. There are plenty of top contenders just waiting to break through, with the division set to be highlighted in a big way as part of the main event of UFC 300. Of course, there’s no real way of knowing how it’s going to play out.

In a recent interview, ‘Poatan’ had his say on the differences between Prochazka and Hill.

Pereira’s Prochazka assessment

“I think Jiri is more accurate and precise with his strikes, the way that he flows, the way that he fights,” Alex said through his translator. “Jamahal, he’ll have a little more advantage on his power, which makes him dangerous because nobody wants to take a hit and go down in a fight. But when you talk about skill level, Jiri Prochazka is superior.”
