Jiri Prochazka just cannot be kept down. After getting brutally knocked out by Alex Pereira, everybody thought that the Czech Samurai might be on a downward slump. However, facing off against Jamahal Hill, Prochazka proved that he was not done yet. Putting up a dominant performance, the former champion secured a knockout victory in the 3rd round of the bout.
Leading upto the fight, there was some intense back and forth between Hill and Prochazka. However, once the bout is done, it seems that Prochazka has made peace with his opponent. In a recent interaction with Ariel Helwani, the former UFC light heavyweight champion, he mentioned that he had bought Hill a drink!
“I just told him ‘we fight together, we drink together, all good between us’. He’s a good guy,” said Prochazka.
