Conor McGregor praises Jiri Prochazka

Conor McGregor reacts to a clip of Jiri Prochazka getting a wholesome welcome to his native Czech republic. Jiri Prochazka recently submitted the former light heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira via a rear naked choke to win the championship at UFC 275.

With this win, Jiri Prochazka became one of the few fighters who rose to the top within such a few fights inside the roster. Prochazka was fighting for the third time in the UFC against Glover. The 29 year old has certainly reached the top at the prime of his career. Before coming to the UFC, Jiri was a former RIZIN champion.

Moreover, Prochazka winning the belt is historic as he is the first ever champion who hails from the land of Czech republic. Apart for Jiri, fighters like David Dvořák, Lucie Pudilova, Viktor Pešta , and Karlos Vemola has fought in the roster. However, none of them were able to achieve what Jiri has done in mere three UFC fights.
