The first PPV event of 2025 took place at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, where fans witnessed some thrilling performances on the main card. One of the highlights was the intense battle between former light heavyweight champions Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka, which almost went the distance before Prochazka secured a TKO victory with just two minutes left. While the fight itself was incredible, what really caught the attention of fans was their reunion at a bar afterward.
Hill endured significant damage during the fight, especially to his face, with one of his eyes completely swollen. Despite the loss, ‘SweetDreams’ expressed his gratitude and appreciation in an Instagram post, sharing a video of himself and Prochazka enjoying their time together at a bar in Los Angeles after the fight. This moment caught the attention of fans, and one fan humorously commented, “Imagine they get drunk and fight again.”

Another fan praised both men, saying, “Great to see. The dudes had a back-and-forth battle. On a side note, I don’t feel bad for Hill if that’s his girl on the right.”
