Dana White lookalike in Jiri Prochazka's new post gets MMA Twitter react with memes

MMA fans on social media were at their hilarious best while reacting to an image of Jiri Prochazka with a Dana White-lookalike. Several fans across various platforms put on their thinking hats in an attempt to come up with the most creative meme.

It all started when former UFC light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka provided an update on his shoulder surgery that forced him to vacate the 205-pound strap ahead of UFC 282.

Dana White referred to the injury as "the worst shoulder injury in UFC history." Fascinatingly, Prochazka's physiotherapist shares a striking resemblance to the UFC president, to the point where the Czech MMA fighter had to clarify that it was not in fact the UFC head-honcho:

"Everything on the right place 🙏 Thankyou @centrumpohybovemediciny (Btw this is Pavel Kolář, my physiotherapist, not Dana White)"

The post was enough for MMA enthusiasts to enjoy the content and come up with hilarious reactions.

Several fans reacted under a post made by @connerburks on Twitter, who captioned the post:

"Dana visited jiri post surgery, a true mensch."

One fan resorted to the classic AliExpress meme template to react to the image:

"Dana from AliExpress."

Another fan claimed that White sent his stand-in to monitor Prochazka's surgery:

"Dana out here sending body doubles, poor Jiri probably doesn't know."

Elsewhere, under Jiri Prochazka's post on Instagram, a fan claimed that White already has a retirement plan in place:

"Dana already hiring a clone for the UFC when he retires."

Yet another fan remarked that this may have been the UFC bossman after he had consumed plenty of Howler Head bourbon whiskey:

"Dana white after 10 bottles of howler head."

Jiri Prochazka planned on returning to competition in five months, says Dana White

Jiri Prochazka was slated to defend his 205-pound title against Glover Teixeira in the main event of UFC 282. However, a few days prior to the fight, he stated that he was relinquishing his title, citing a shoulder injury sustained during preparation for the Teixeira match.

Dana White said on Paddy Pimblett's podcast that despite Prochazka's social media hints that he hopes to return within six months, he anticipates a considerably longer timetable before he can compete again owing to the severity of his shoulder injury.

Revealing what Prochazka said to him immediately after the injury, White stated:

“That night when we were in there and we’re having the meeting and we’re talking about the possibility of him fighting again, he was saying ‘I think I can come back in five months’ and all this s**t. The doctor was with us, too, and the doctor was like you need to start being realistic about this. Take the time. Do it right. Get the right surgery and that night he decided then I’m not going to hold up the division, I’m going to vacate the title."
