Jiri Prochazka does not fit the mould of your mixed martial arts archetype. He would feel more at home among the fictional phenoms of the professional wrestling world. Because in this industry of big personalties, the Czech behemoth is no mere mortal; he’s a different beast entirely.
Whether it’s staring down arenas in the dead of night or swimming under frozen lakes to “face the essence of loss or death”, scarcely-believable footage of Prochazka in the wild gives vibes of a nature documentary. His samurai mystique, combined with an all-action fight style, makes him one of the UFC’s most bizarre and brilliant commodities.
