Analysis highlights that strikers in 2026 still underutilize wrestling threats, citing Al Iaquinta's success using feints against Khabib Nurmagomedov. Despite Prochazka's size advantage and grappling experience with Nemkov, Glover, and Pereira, he failed to mix in wrestling against counter-striker Ulberg. With only 5 takedown attempts in UFC history compared to Petr Yan's 65, Prochazka missed opportunities to close distance safely through wrestling threats and clinch work. After Ulberg's knee injury, Prochazka could have exploited the leg or pursued easier takedowns but continued striking, ultimately leading to his knockout loss.
