At UFC 295, Prochazka will fight a former middleweight champion, Alex Pereira. Pereira is also the protege of Glover Teixeira, the man from whom Prochzaka won the light heavyweight title before vacating it due to injury. The division went into a spiral in the absence of Prochazka. The UFC initially booked a vacant light heavyweight title fight between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev. But it ended in a draw. Another fight for the vacant title was announced between Jamahal Hill and Glover Teixeira. Hill comfortably won the fight via decision.

Unfortunately, Hill also had to vacate the title due to an Achilles rupture suffered whilst playing basketball. Hill was supposed to fight Prochazka before the injury sidelined him. Dana White has said that Hill would challenge for the title whenever he comes back from injury.
