VIDEO | Jiri Prochazka decimates UFC veteran CB Dollaway, gets called out by Ryan Bader

CB Dollaway’s RIZIN debut, which went down on Tuesday’s action-packed RIZIN 20 card, didn’t go the way he had planned. Instead, the 20-fight UFC veteran was decimated by the promotion’s ferocious light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka in the first round.

Literal and figurative kicks cannot save C.B. Dollaway, as Jiří Procházka (26-3-1) clatters the 20-bout UFC vet to keep his light heavyweight strap. The Slavic samurai rides a 10-fight tear with eight straight knockouts. He owns 25 finishes, 23 in round one. #RIZIN20 #RIZINFF pic.twitter.com/bu4vz7FzGf

With this victory, Prochazka moves onto a 10-fight win-streak, highlighted by knockout victories over Dolloway, Fabio Maldonado, Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal, Brandon Halsey, Karl Albrektsson, and Kazuyuki Fujita.

Post-fight the Czech knockout artist was called out by reigning Bellator light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Ryan Bader, who challenged him to a fight in the Bellator cage. This cross-promotional fight was briefly rumored earlier this year, but never came to fruition. Given the way RIZIN and Bellator have been co-promoting of late, it seems entirely possible that it goes down in 2020.

Congrats #jiriprochazka . we couldn’t make it happen in @rizin_PR so let’s do this in the @BellatorMMA cage. LHW title on the line
