Fed-Up Jiri Slams Hill, Silences Ankalaev
Today at 03:07 PM
For a fighter as outspoken as Jamahal Hill, you would think "Sweet Dreams" was coming off a knockout win over Alex Pereira at UFC 300. Or any win, for that matter, as opposed to the first-round destruction he suffered against "Poatan" back in April.
That's why Jiri Prochazka wants Hill to scale back his online criticism.
"I'm really looking forward for my next fight," Prochazka said on social media. "Jamahal, don't speak about my performances, fight I.Q. and all these things, because in your last fight, you didn't show nothing, really."
Prochazka had a similar message for No. 1-ranked contender Magomed Ankalaev.
"This same guy, Ankalaev, in your last three fights, you showed totally nothing," Prochazka continued. "So stay on the ground."
"Nothing" is a nicer way of saying "boring."
Prochazka is expected to risk his spot in the light heavyweight pecking order when he battles Hill as part of the upcoming UFC 311 pay-per-view (PPV) mixed martial arts (MMA) event, scheduled for Sat., Jan. 18, 2025 inside Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
The early odds, as of this writing, are about even.
