MMA fans shared their thoughts on Jiri Prochazka's hilarious training method for the Jamahal Hill fight. Instead of training in a gym or training facility, Prochazka used a treadmill to sharpen his skills.
Prochazka is adopting a unique training approach for his upcoming UFC 311 encounter against Jamahal Hill. The Czechia native held the light heavyweight championship and boasted an unblemished 3-0 UFC record before his UFC 295 encounter against Alex Pereira. But Prochazka picked up two defeats in his next three encounters.
'BJP's' last encounter at UFC 303 also ended in a devastating defeat against his only unconquered rival in the UFC, Alex Pereira. One of his recent Instagram updates showcased him trying out an all-new training method to revamp his winning run. Instead of training in the wild like other times, Prochazka chose a treadmill to sharpen his movement and striking. The caption to his post read:
"It doesn't end in the gym ⚡️👹⚡️WIN. NOW. HERE"

Jiri Prochazka would have taken Alex Pereira's fight offer that Jamahal Hill refused
Jiri Prochazka appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show about a week back, discussing the UFC PI-based altercation between Jamahal Hill and Alex Pereira.
Amidst the verbal spat, Pereira offered Hill a pair of gloves to put on and fight him. However, 'Sweet Dreams' denied the offer, saying that he won't fight if he doesn't get paid.
During his conversation with Helwani, Prochazka mentioned he would've chosen to differ from Hill's approach toward Pereira's offer since he saw himself as a "real" fighter. The former light heavyweight champ said:
"Sure, [I would've fought Pereira for free unlike Hill]... It's our nature. If you are a real fighter, a real warrior, you will go."
