Israel Adesanya reacted to a wholesome video of Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill's cordial interaction following their recent fight. Prochazka and Hill competed on the UFC 311 main card in an effort to re-establish their positions in the light heavyweight title picture. After a tense build-up to the fight, Prochazka won against Hill via third-round TKO in a fierce back-and-forth battle.
However, in a recent video posted on Hill's Instagram, the two fighters were seen exchanging pleasantries during a cordial interaction at an afterparty, suggesting that they have moved past their competitive rivalry. Hill expressed his respect for Prochazka in the caption, writing:
"Congratulations to @jirkaprochazka you made great adjustments and gave me a hell of a fight!!! I want to thank everybody that reached out with love and support I truly appreciate you all!!! My fire has never burned hotter or brighter for my future and growth!!"
