UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis believes Jiri Prochazka should move down to his division. Prochazka (30-4-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC), a former light heavyweight champion, returned to the win column after knocking out Aleksandar Rakic at UFC 300 earlier this month. He is contemplating a move down to 185 pounds but not before he reclaims the 205-pound title. Prochazka told Michael Bisping the weight came off naturally before he hit the scale against Rakic and thinks, with a cleaner diet, he could make middleweight. Interestingly enough, Du Plessis’ comments came before Prochazka even fought Rakic or mentioned middleweight.
