Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Jiri Prochazka kept a close eye on the main event of UFC 313.
On Saturday evening at the UFC 313 Main Event, Alex Pereira looked to successfully defend his 205 pound title for the fourth time when he took an old competition, Magomed Ankalaev.
Unfortunately for 'Patan', Ankalaev placed him in five rounds and was crowned champion to the new light heavyweight.
The performance of Pereira was questioned by UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, who claimed that the Brazilian star performed 'Uncharcteristician' after he had been beaten relatively for more than 25 minutes.

Jiri Prochazka sends fights to Pereira and Ankalaev after UFC 313
Prior to the Blockbuster fight on Saturday, former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Jiri Prochazka sent both hunters a warning and claimed that he is 'coming' for them.
Jiri Prochazka bounced back from a second loss to Pereira last January at UFC 311 when he eliminated Jamahal Hill.
After his victory over Hill, Prochazka confidently claimed that he had defeated Pereira in a trilogy fight and that that is the fight that he then wants, anyway.
After Ankalaev's surprise title, the eccentric Czech both he and Pereira sent another message.
“Congratulations on Ankalaev, nice busy. Most people don't like it, but you have won the title for now. Alex Pereira, last dance? 'Prochazka offered in a post on his social media.
“Or a better idea. Let's go on the title right away, “he said.
Prochazka set for disappointment because Dana White claims that a rematch is 'probably'
Although Jiri is hopeful for a fight against Pereira or the newly crowned Russian, he will probably be disappointed as UFC boss, Dana White revealed immediately after the fight that a rematch will probably happen.
In the end, PrOCHAZKA probably did not do enough to justify another fight for the title, especially in view of his two earlier losses for the Brazilian.
And with that he may need an impressive victory with Ankalaev also open for an immediate rematch, which means that his pursuit is delayed back to the title.
