Karlos Vémola, the first Czech in the UFC, also enjoyed the victory of Jiří Procházka. The Terminator was part of the pre-tournament studio, in which he compared Prochazka’s fight with the success of the hockey players in Nagano. What did he say after the victory?
Jiri Prochazka defeated Glover Teixeira in a UFC welterweight title fight. Thanks to this, he made an indelible mark in the history of the most prestigious MMA organization in the world.
His win was also positively commented by the leading Czech fighter Karlos Vémola, who was the first Czech ever in the UFC. What did he say about Prochazka?
“Huge congratulations to the new champion, Czech samurai Jiri Prochazko. That was an incredible fight. Jirka showed what kind of heart he has, how incredible he can fight and that he’s not even human. I may be the Terminator, but Jirka is a machine. He’s been in some tough situations.
He’s been in chokes, he’s taken a few bombs, he’s made a few mistakes in there, but he learns when he makes a mistake in a fight and he’s that much better again in the next fight. I don’t even know where this can go. Probably to the point of complete perfection for our samurai. This was an incredible performance, the way he fought and showed he wanted to win and finally pulled it off.
That was unbelievable. Of course, we also have to give credit to the former champion. That’s such a positive message for all of us old fighters, because to fight like that at 42 years old? That’s motivation for me and I think for a lot of other fighters. Glover was basically 30 seconds away from victory after he won the fifth round.
He was the champion, so I think the judges would have given it to him. At 42, he was 30 seconds away from winning. But Jiri didn’t underestimate anything, he didn’t leave it up to the judges so we didn’t have to wait impatiently to see who would raise their hand and he finished it. He was the first person in the world to finish a champion on a choke. Unbelievable and a huge congratulations,” he said on FightLive’s Instagram.
Prochazka’s success has also reached people who don’t follow MMA much. Many appreciate his success despite not liking wrestling, but there are those who don’t acknowledge his win because of the sport he does.
But it must be said that even the readership can tell how much of an achievement it is. But now Prochazka may have an even tougher road ahead of him if he wants to defend his title. Will he do it and win new fans?
