In response to a social media attack by Magomed Ankalayev, Jiri Prochazka reacted vehemently in a post on X (formerly Twitter) this Sunday (23). The former UFC light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg), called a 'fake ninja' by his opponent, accused his rival of dishonesty and reaffirmed his desire to face him in the octagon.

“Who wrote this, you? Or some slave of yours? Here you have shown everyone who is the 'champion fraud'. As I said, I want your head. If I have to go through someone else to hunt you down, then let's do it,” Prochazka replied.

Prochazka's retort came hours after Ankalaev use Ulberg's victory over Blachowicz to provoke the Czech. The Russian, who is waiting for his first title defense, labeled his opponent with the pejorative term 'fake ninja' - a reference to Prochazka's eccentric style, known for incorporating traditional martial arts movements and meditative practices into his training.

The exchange of barbs comes amid the rise of the New Zealander Carlos Ulberg, who defeated Jan Blachowicz No. UFC London and is already looking at a possible fight against Ankalaev.
