Speaking to MMAFighting, Prochazka revealed what he feels he “has to change” to get the best possible outcome for the contest.

He said: “I have to change this style, especially in the ground, especially in the wrestling. That’s why I drilled that with Henry [Cejudo] and then back in the Czech Republic with my coaches.

“Everybody knows my strong weapon and my weakest weakness. That’s why I start to drill that [on the ground]. That’s why I’ve started to prepare the dangerous techniques in that, and I believe in myself in that much, much more than ever.

“I’m glad for that to have an opponent like Glover. Because he gave me the opportunity to prepare myself in these styles, to be better and better.”
