Procházka strikes back at Rakic: You’re not a warrior, you’re a liar and a waste
Aleksandar Rakic made a rather rude remark about the Moravian fighter on Wednesday. However, Jiri Prochazka reacted to his rival’s statement on the regular show of journalist Ariel Helwani. What did he say?
Aleksandar Rakic made a rather rude remark about the Moravian fighter on Wednesday. However, Jiri Prochazka reacted to his rival’s statement on the regular show of journalist Ariel Helwani. What did he say?
Jiri Prochazka wants to become UFC champion as soon as possible. So he is waiting for an official offer. His coach and manager Martin Karaivanov is in talks with the organization’s management about a title fight.
But according to Aleksandar Rakic, the Moravian fighter should have received an offer for a fight with him and he should have refused it. The native of Vienna therefore lashed out at Prochazka. He even said that the time would come when he would cut off the Czech national flag from his head.
Procházka himself did not notice this statement by Rakica, but his coach showed it to him. “I am disappointed, it is disrespectful. Besides, it’s a lie that the UFC offered him a fight with me. My manager has been communicating with the UFC and said there was no such offer on the table,” the former Rizin champion responded.
“Rakic is just a liar. And the flag thing? I’m fine with it, it’s not an attack on my person. It just shows he’s not a warrior, he’s trash. I have no words for him. Moreover, his flag has similar colours to ours,” Procházka added.
The Moravian warrior then said that he only wants to fight real warriors, which does not include Rakice at all. Still, he is willing to fight him if it is his turn.
Also because of Jan Blachowicz’s loss in the title fight, the situation in the UFC welterweight division is very muddled and hardly predictable. However, the head of the organization himself, Dana White, has already let it be known that Prochazka will very likely be the closest opponent of the new champion Glover Teixeira.
