UFC light heavyweight contender Jiri Prochazka has spoken about his unusual new training partner – a tree.
It’s safe to say that there are very few individuals on the face of the planet quite like Jiri Prochazka. The former Rizin star is 2-0 in the UFC after wins over Volkan Oezdemir and Dominick Reyes and at this point, it feels like just a matter of time before he’s given a shot at the 205-pound title.
Nobody can say he doesn’t deserve it and even though he’s only been in the promotion for a minute, Prochazka is one of the most exciting fighters out there right now.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Prochazka addressed one of the stranger techniques he uses in training; sparring with a tree.
