Jiri Prochazka reacted to Jamahal Hill's relinquishment of his UFC light heavyweight title by posting a tweet to him.
"@JamahalH Man, I'm so sorry, I was really looking forward to our Fight. I appreciate your release of the title. Only a person who has experienced this situation can appreciate such a thing. Who is next? winner Blachowicz X Pereira or ?"
Check out his tweet below:
The former UFC light heavyweight champion related to Jamahal Hill's predicament and appreciated his decision as he goes into rehabilitation. Hill announced the relinquishment of his light heavyweight title after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon. In December last year, Prochazka faced a similar situation when he suffered a shoulder injury.
'Denisa' was scheduled to defend his belt against Glover Teixeira at UFC 282 but had to vacate the title due to his injury. Jamahal Hill faced Teixeira in the aftermath of Prochazka's withdrawal and won the belt by unanimous decision at UFC 283.
Jamahal Hill responds to Jiri Prochazka with the hope of meeting him in the octagon soon
Jamahal Hill responded to Jiri Prochazka's tweet by expressing his gratitude and hoping to meet him in the octagon in the future.
"Thanks Champ!!! We will have our dance for sure!!! Hold things down in the mean time and can’t wait to see you across the octagon from me!!!"

With Hill out, the light heavyweight division is currently without a champion. Prochazka is trying to get himself his next opponent as he tries to re-enter the championship conversation on his return.
Hill will take a while to recover from his injury. In the meantime, Jiri Prochazka could see himself getting a return fight booked against the winner of Alex Pereira and Jan Blachowicz's fight. 'Poatan' has been interested in the UFC light heavyweight title since the day he entered the division after losing his middleweight title to Israel Adesanya at UFC 287.
