Background

After three years of requesting his parents for permission, Prachnio started training karate at the age of 12.[2] Eventually he became multiple-time Polish champion in kyokushin karate and placed second in European championships.[2] Seeking for new challenges, Prachnio moved to Amsterdam in 2013 in order to transition to mixed martial arts.

Early career

Prachnio started his professional mixed martial arts career in 2013, competing solely in European regional circuit. He fought multiple times in Final Fight Championship promotion, eventually racking up a 9–2 record and claiming the promotion's Light Heavyweight Championship in the process.[3] Prachnio decided to drop to middleweight and not defend his title, leading the title to be vacated.[3]

ONE Championship

After claiming and vacating the Final Fight Championship title, Prachnio signed with the ONE Championship in 2016.

He amassed an undefeated 4–0 run in the promotion and was in the title contention before signing with the UFC.[7]
