Background Jiri Prochazka is a former UFC Light Heavyweight champion who lost his title to Alex Pereira in 2023. Pereira has since established dominance in the division with three successful title defenses, including two wins over Prochazka. While Prochazka recently defeated Jamahal Hill at UFC 311, demonstrating his continued competitiveness, he faces significant challenges in his quest to regain the title.

Resolution Criteria This market will resolve as YES if Jiri Prochazka wins and is officially awarded the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship belt in a sanctioned UFC fight that takes place before 11:59 PM ET on December 31, 2025. The market will resolve as NO if:

• Prochazka fails to win the title by the end of 2025

• Prochazka retires or leaves the UFC before winning the title

• Prochazka moves to a different weight class

Considerations

• The Light Heavyweight division is currently highly competitive, with strong contenders like Magomed Ankalaev, Carlos Ulberg, and Khalil Rountree Jr. potentially affecting Prochazka's path to a title shot

• Prochazka would likely need multiple wins against top contenders to earn another title shot, given his recent losses to the current champion

• The timeline (by end of 2025) allows for approximately 2-3 fights, assuming typical UFC scheduling and no injuries
