Jiri Prochazka solidified as a real threat to the UFC light heavyweight title with the brutal knockout of Dominick Reyes at UFC Vegas 25.
Prochazka acted brutally on his way down from Reyes and exchanged his fists at the 4:29 mark of the second round twice until he found an elbow that sent the championship contender to the canvas.
At the co-main event, Giga Chikadze threw a body kick that covered Swanson’s body in the first round, giving him yet another star-creation moment when Cub Swanson stopped in the first round.
Here’s what the fighters had to say about UFC Vegas 25
I hope Reyes is okay. This was brutal. It’s a tough and dangerous sport, but damn I love it.

This man Prochazka is like an avalanche going downhill. He’s just attacking these guys. He uses his cardio as a weapon, he has a great jaw and great finishing instinct. I’m so excited about this guy!
