Jiri Prochazka recently opened up about his interaction with Jamahal Hill after their contest at UFC 311. Prochazka revealed that the two drank alcohol and expressed his admiration for Hill.

Prochazka locked horns with Hill on the main card of UFC 311, which took place this past weekend at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The Czech fighter showcased his striking prowess and knocked out Hill in the third round.

In a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Prochazka praised Hill as a person and disclosed what happened between them after the fight:

''We saw each other after the fight, and in the bar, when we went back to the hotel, I bought him a glass of vodka. We took a shot, I just told him ‘we fight together, we drink together, all good between us’. He’s a good guy. He is a really good guy. But in some situations, I don't know why he was before the fight, like we spoke about all his speeches. But I don't care right now. It's behind us.''
