Shem Rock doesn’t believe Prochazka! The longer the match goes on, the more the advantage will go to the better positioner, he said

Shem Rock made a big fuss last weekend when he kicked Jaroslav Pokorný at staredown, who was unable to play the game due to injury. Now Rock will not please the Czech fans again, as he favours the Brazilian in the fight between Jiří Procházka and Alex Pereira.

After his win over Glover Teixeira, he couldn’t stop himself. He was asked for interviews by prestigious Czech and international media, everyone wanted to hear the story of the new UFC welterweight champion.

But just as he was about to defend the belt, a serious injury and a layoff of more than a year. Now he’s back and his opponent will be Alex Pereira, who got his chance due to an injury to champion Jamahal Hill.

The fight will take place this weekend at UFC 295 at the famous Madison Square Garden in New York, and we will see Prochazka fight in the Czech Republic in the early hours of Sunday morning.

How does Shem Rock see this fight?

Shem Rock, who you may know from the Octagon, spoke to iDNES about the fight. The Brit made a big splash last week when he kicked his opponent Jaroslav Pokorný on staredown.

He then visited a doctor and the doctor subsequently banned him from the fight. Octagon thus lost one of the most promoted fights at the Manchester tournament. But back to the UFC, Rock is more confident of a win for the Brazilian Pereira.

“Alex is better in the standup. Walk keeps his hands down and fights fiercely. On the ground, he’ll probably have the advantage, but Alex has been training with Glover Teixeira, a former opponent of Walk’s, long enough that he’ll be ready.

The longer the fight goes on, the more the advantage will go to the better standup guy. Therefore, Pereira will win either on points or by KO. I understand that you Czechs want Jiri to win, but the time he spent injured… He may not come back the same. Alex stayed active,” Rock said.
