American blended military craftsman Jamahal Slope sat up front at A definitive Battling Title (UFC) 295, as he expected to challenge the victor of the headliner once he is sufficiently solid to contend.
Slope, who might have shielded his light heavyweight title, had to give up it because of a cracked Achilles ligament inciting the UFC to book Jiri Prochazka against Alex Pereira to crown another boss.
Slope means to scout the two warriors in spite of being not able to contend on Saturday, guessing that he would have the potential chance to confront the new boss one year from now.
Pereira was delegated the new UFC light heavyweight champion at Saturday's UFC 295 headliner against Prochazka at New York's Madison Square Nursery.
Before Saturday's confrontation, Slope told MMA Warrior: "A many individuals are expecting a standup fight. Very much like an amazing kickboxing show. On the off chance that they emerge and perhaps get somewhat more great enclosing the pocket, simply a banger, a canine battle. Or on the other hand one of them really shows some predominant presentation of hooking or something, you have a ton of space to be shocked."
In the interim, Prochazka had gotten back to the UFC, under a comparative situation as Slope, after a shoulder injury, that provoked him to empty the UFC title while he recuperated.
Presently, 17 months after at first winning the belt, he confronted previous middleweight champion Pereira, who came out on top for a second championship against Jan Blachowicz in July.
Prochazka, known for his unpredictable striking and hooking style, has had a tremendous effect in the UFC with an ideal 3-0 record. Notwithstanding, he has confronted difficulties, especially in to and fro battles with Dominick Reyes and Glover Teixeira.
"He faces a few challenges," Slope said of Prochazka. "He does things somewhat strange and unconventional for most mentors, and a great many people wouldn't encourage you to do. I think they work for him."
Slope said he was not making an expectation for the battle on the grounds that at last he simply needs the following title shot. Preferably, however, he inclines toward the adversary who will draw the most eyeballs.
"For my purposes, I need the battle the a great many people need to see," Slope said. "I need "That. I need to sell. I need to be a piece of large shows and placed on huge shows and bring back home the checks from those enormous shows. That is the very thing I got into this for.
"My opportunity is approaching back. I'll be back. It's just an obstacle. Whenever I return, it's right back like I won't ever leave."
