1xBet announces signing a contract with one of the most charismatic fighters in modern MMA, UFC light heavyweight champion Jiří Procházka. This partnership brings together a global betting leader and a top-level athlete, whose path is a true statement of inner strength, warrior philosophy, and freedom of choice.

When a fighter steps down from the championship stage due to an injury but finds the strength to return and fight for the top again, that is a story of strong character. 1xBet chose exactly this kind of ambassador: a person who inspires millions not only with victories, but also with a unique worldview known as the “Way  of the Conscious Warrior.”

Legendary figure in combat sports

Jiří Procházka is the first Czech fighter in history to win a UFC title. With a height of 193 cm and an arm span of over 200 cm, he dominates at range, turning every fight into a high-level art of attack. His style is unconventional and aggressively spectacular. In 2022, he forced the legendary BJJ master Glover Teixeira to submit with a dramatic submission, writing his name into the history of the most prestigious MMA promotion.

In 2026, Procházka, known as the “Czech Samurai”, reaches peak form while remaining at the top of the light heavyweight division. His bushido philosophy, study of Miyamoto Musashi’s works, and meditation make him a true thinker in the cage. He has no tattoos, listens to classical music as well as Rammstein, and instead of resting, he prefers survival rituals in the Amazon jungle. This is an ideal partnership with a brand that values individuality and the fighter’s strong will.

High-level betting: What comes next?

On April 11, the new 1xBet ambassador will step into the fight for the vacant light heavyweight title against Carlos Ulberg. This bout will be the main event of UFC 327 in Miami and will determine the new king of the division.

“Following the signing of Carlos Prates, we continue to strengthen our presence in the UFC. Jiří is not just a former champion, but a fighter with a unique philosophy and style that truly sets him apart,” added 1xBet representative Simon Westbury.

The 1xAffiliates partner network continues to grow actively, and now the “Czech Samurai” is an important part of it.
