Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka talked about an unusual way to strengthen immunity.

"Spring has come. I feel something in the air that most people don't.... I smell nettles. Usually every fall and spring I lie in nettles: I take off my clothes and pound myself.

For half a day my whole body burns, it strengthens my immune system. Last fall I overdid it a bit: my body turned red, I didn't sleep until 4 in the morning. But the next morning I was already forging a sword. But the whole night I did not sleep, because my body was burning," - said Prochazka on his YouTube channel.

Prochazka will fight Aleksandar Rakic on April 13 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas, USA.
