Jiri Prochazka will keep an eye on the main event of the UFC 313 between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev.
This Saturday evening, Alex Pereira will make the fourth defense of his light heavyweight title when he finally accepts the patient number one competition, Magomed Ankalaev.
The expectation for their title fighting was felt during the Vechtweek, because the rivalry is warmed up with both Pereira and Ankalaev who send each other warnings.
Although 'Patan' is the underdog on the gambling line, several of his former enemies Pereira choose to stay champion, even though the potential is the most difficult fight of his career to date.

Jiri Prochazka sends Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev a final message
Although Pereira has only defended his title three times so far, he has the chance to break a record of Jon Jones, for the least amount of days between four defending defenses.
The Brazilian won the empty title against Jiri Prochazka and later defended it against the former champion at UFC 303 in a large Rematch.
Since then, Prochazka has returned to the win column with a big victory over former champion, Jamahal Hill, in which he shows that he could still be a threat to slightly heavyweight.
After his victory over 'Sweet Dreams', Prochazka insisted that he could beat Pereira in a trilogy fight, which received a response from Pereira.
With the Czech hunter who hopes to be considered to fight for the title, he keeps an eye on the UFC 313 main event and sent a final message to the champion and competition.
“Hello everyone, Vechtdag is here for us here in the Czech Republic, it's tomorrow morning. So I wish you a great fight, both, and don't forget, I'm coming. Let's go for that! “Prochazka stated in a video on his Instagram.
Alex Pereira could go to heavyweight after UFC 313
Although PrOCHAZKA is hopeful on a trilogy fight against the 37-year-old when he beats Ankalaev, rumors continue to swallow over a potential relocation to heavyweight for Pereira.
Earlier this week, UFC Baas, Dana White, gave an update about Jon Jones and claimed that the heavyweight champion could possibly return to the Octagon this summer to compete against Tom Aspinall.
And with that White also revealed that the winner of Jones vs As Aspinall Pereira could challenge, because the Brazilian UFC history would like to make by becoming the first hunter who won a title in three different weight classes.
