List of Czech Republic's UFC fighters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ultimate Fighting Championship

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion, founded in 1993 by Art Davie and Rorion Gracie. The organization was purchased from its parent company SEG in 2001 by Zuffa LLC, a promotional company owned by Las Vegas casino magnates, Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta and managed by Dana White (current president of operations).[1] Since its inception, and through its current Zuffa management, the UFC has remained one of the more dominant MMA promotions in the world, playing host to a wide field of MMA fighters.[2]

This list provides an up-to-date roster of all mixed martial artists with Czech citizenship that represent Czech Republic competing or have previously competed under the UFC promotional banner.[note 1][note 2] Fighters are organized by weight class and within their weight class by their number of appearances inside the UFC. Fighter record and notable wins, achievements. Tournament participation and overall UFC/MMA records[note 3] In 2022, Jiří Procházka became the Czech Republic's first UFC Champion after defeating Glover Teixeira for the Light Heavyweight title at UFC 275.[3]

Each fight record has four categories: wins, losses, draws, and no-contests (NC).[4] All fight records in this article are displayed in that order, with fights resulting in a no-contest listed in parentheses.
