Jiří Procházka returns vs. Karl Albrektsson at December RIZIN show

Jiří Procházka (19-3-1) is currently riding a three-fight win streak. In his last outing, Procházka returned from knee injury after over a year away. He stopped Willian Roberto Alves in the first round at Fusion FN 16 back in September. Prior to this, the Czech striker had five-straight fights in RIZIN, going 4-1 in the process. The sole loss in the RIZIN ring came at the hands of Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal in the 100 kg grand-prix finals in 2015. That loss was followed up with a big KO win over Japanese legend Kazuyuki Fujita.

Karl Albrektsson (6-1) is 2-0 inside the RIZIN ring while competing at 93 kg – the weight this fight with Procházka will be held at. He made his debut with the promotion in April of 2016 and beat current Bellator fighter, Team Fedor’s own; Vadim Nemkov. Most recently, Albrektsson defeated another light heavyweight prospect in the form of Lithuania’s Teodoras Aukštuolis. In between those two wins, Albrektsson did take a loss, however when he transitioned to heavyweight for a fight with Valentin Moldavsky in the 1st Round of RIZIN’s 2016 Grand-Prix.


The fight does not have an official date yet, but it will take place on one of the two December shows. so December 29 or December 31.
