INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Jiri Prochazka heard a little rumor in some circles that he keeps his hands down too much.
It cost him in his losses to light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, some surmised. And some of those some, Prochazka has heard, happen to be on the UFC’s commentary team.
At UFC 311 (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+) on Saturday at Intuit Dome, if Prochazka (31-5-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC) did keep his hands down too much against Jamahal Hill (12-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC), it didn’t wind up making a difference. He finished Hill with a third-round TKO and took home a $50,000 bonus.
