Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!
I haven´t been posting much on Sundays lately but I have to make an exception today because Czech sport has just achieved an incredible success that I want to share with you as our MMA fighter Jiri Prochazka became the new UFC light-heavyweight champion just a few hours ago after winning what many consider one of the greatest fights in the UFC history! Wow! Congrats Jiri!

You might remember that I already wrote about Jiri in this post last year after he took the UFC world by storm when he claimed very impressive wins in his first two matches. Earlier today, just a few hours ago, Jiri won his third UFC battle too but this one was really special as it was the title battle against the defending champion Glover Teixeira, a living MMA icon from Brazil.
The battle took place in Singapore and it offered a truly spectacular show that lasted as many as 5 epic rounds. In the fifth round, by which both fighters were already bleeding massively, Prochazka pulled off a staggering, buzzer-beating submission that earned him the so much coveted title.

This is the first time in history that the Czech Republic has a UFC champion and we are so proud of this incredible achievement. Thank you so much Jiri and good luck with defending your title!
You can watch the highlights of the fight here ;)
Czech / Česky:
Vím, že v české komunitě moc fandů MMA nemáme, ale i tak se s vámi musím podělit o to, co se dnes podařilo Jirkovi Procházkovi, neb se jedná o doslova historický úspěch českého sportu. Česká republika totiž před pár hodinami díky tomuto borci získala svůj první titul šampiona UFC, což je nejprestižnější MMA organizace na světě. Jirka v titulovém zápase v Singapuru po naprosto strhující pětikolové bitvě porazil obhájce titulu, žijící legendu brazilského MMA Glovera Teixeiru a po svém teprve třetím zápase v UFC tak hned slaví titul, což je samo o sobě také nevídaný kousek. Jirka Procházka je prostě fenomenální sportovec s obrovským českým srdcem a já doufám, že svůj titul šampiona polotěžké váhy UFC udrží co nejdéle :)
