"He is a samurai" - Mark Zuckerberg and Max Holloway admire Jiri Prochazka's lifestyle and fighting technique at UFC 300

It is hard for a fighter to stand out at a star-studded event like UFC 300. However, Max Holloway and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sang their praises for Jiri Prochazka at the milestone event.

In a behind-the-scenes video posted on Holloway's Youtube channel, 'Blessed' and the tech billionaire can be seen gushing over 'BJP's' lifestyle as the former featherweight champion was preparing for his fight against Justin Gaethje.

Following Zuckerberg's suggestion that Prochazka has one of more wilder fighting styles in the sport, Holloway told the tech tycoon about a crazy instance where a fan filmed the former light heavyweight champion meditating outside of the T-Mobile Area on the night before his fight against Aleksandar Rakic at UFC 300.

The Facebook founder responded by saying:

"I mean, because every other fighter posts like photos of them training. He posts photos of him like in a forest with a samurai sword."

Holloway also corroborated the 39-year-old's assessment suggesting that 'BJP' actually lives by the samurai values, promoting the tech billionaire to chime in:

"He is a samurai."
