Jiri Prochazka statement:
I am very disappointed to announce that I will not be defending my belt at UFC 282. I was injured in training in Las Vegas while finishing my preparation for my title defense in the UFC's light heavyweight division.
I injured my shoulder and surgery is required which will put me out of action for at least 6 months.
Knowing this information, I have decided, after consulting with UFC management, that due to this time constraint, I will not hold light heavyweight division and will vacate the title. I will go for the UFC belt as soon as the doctors give me the green light to fight. I'm going to go for the belt and I'm going to get it no matter who currently holds it. It's always been the most important thing for me to put on the best performance and compare myself to the best. Let the best show no matter who's there now.
I'll be back in six months and I'll take the title whoever holds it. I apologize to my fans, friends, family who bought tickets and made plans to come to Las Vegas to support me, it means a lot to me. I also want to apologize to Glover. Victory!

According to Dana White, Jiri Prochazka suffered ‘the worst shoulder injuries doctors have ever seen” while wrestling in practice.
Tim Simpson, Prochazka’s manager, said “the shoulder got wrecked in a standard wrestling accident type of thing.”
UFC president Dana White said the doctors told him that the injury is extensive. “This is the worst shoulder injury the doctors have seen in UFC history,” White told Yahoo Sports. “It’s really fooking bad. His shoulder is very, very bad. He’s going to have serious surgery that will require extensive rehab.”
