Jiri Prochazka once again, he innovated in his preparation. Coming from a defeat to Carlos Ulberg At UFC 327, a fight in which, according to him, he showed compassion before being knocked out, the 'Czech Samurai', known for his unconventional training methods, added a 'walk among nettles' to his repertoire.
