Jiri Prochazka has a title shot in his hands with only two fights in the UFC. He becomes the second fighter to earn a title fight with fewer fights following Michael Chandler who fought for the lightweight belt in his very second fight. Prochazka will be going up against one of the legends of the sport, Glover Teixeira in the main event of the UFC 275 PPV card. The fight is set to take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore.
If things go according to Jiri’s game plan, fight fans in Singapore are in for a treat as Jiri plans on bringing violence into the octagon from the get-go. Ahead of the PPV bout, Prochazka sits down for a pre-fight media presser and talks about his plan of action to defend Glover and his elite grappling.
People proclaim Prochazka as the modern-day Samurai, and it’s all because of his deep understanding of Bushido (Warrior code.) He implemented this lifestyle years ago, and he’s lived by it to the day. His coach introduced him to the book called ‘The Book of The Five Rings,’ and it completely changed his life forever.
“It was like zero to 100, a change of 180 degrees”- Michal Sauer reveals how Jiri Prochazka decided to dedicate his life to Mixed Martial Arts
Prochazka is a calm and collected individual, but his business partner and friend, Michal Sauer revealed what he was like before this change happened.
Talking to ESPN, Michal said, “He was wild at those parties. Not only dancing, but everyone was watching him. He’s a little bit like Conor McGregor. Everybody knows that he’s in the room. He was very noisy. He likes attention. Not only parties, but he liked attention everywhere he went. He was a very funny guy and everybody liked it, because he made some fun.”
Michal recalled the moment when Jiri decided to leave all this behind, and dedicate his life to MMA. He stated, “He started to talk to me and other friends about how we should live. Now, he was a clever guy and started to tell us how we should do this and why this. That was the biggest change.”
“It was like zero to 100, a change of 180 degrees. We didn’t know what was the matter with him. He’s living the Bushido way and everything and he wanted his personal friends to live the same or similar. He wanted the people around him to be the same way,” Michal concluded.
