Henry Cejudo shares advice for Jiri Prochazka ahead of UFC 295 title fight with Alex Pereira
Former UFC champion Henry Cejudo has given Jiri Prochazka some advice ahead of his return to the Octagon.
Later this month, Jiri Prochazka will make his highly-anticipated return when he battles Alex Pereira at UFC 295. The two will compete in the main event of the evening, with the winner capturing the UFC light heavyweight championship.
As you can imagine, there’s a lot of excitement in the air thanks to the electric style of both men. They are both big hitters, and they’re both pretty unconventional.
Many fighters have been giving their thoughts on how it’s all going to go down. That includes Henry Cejudo, who has noted that he believes Prochazka has some real work to do defensively.
Cejudo advises Prochazka
“The technique, as good as you are with everything, there’s one area where I feel like you really need to get better at – two areas,” Cejudo said on his YouTube channel. “Your defense, with your hands: I don’t like seeing you get hit because that may cost you against a guy like Alex Pereira. Then the other thing, too, is your takedown defense. Your takedown defense is still a little suspect.”
“If there’s an area where I feel like he really needs to get better, it’s (technique) – particularly his defense,” Cejudo said. “And the other thing is his takedown defense.”
