UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jiri Prochazka admitted that he is very inspired by the example of the ex-contender for the title in this division Alexander Gustafsson.

“I often trained with Alex in Sweden. He is a wonderful person, father and sparring partner. He is very calm and knows how to control himself during training. I treat him with great respect. I can say that I am his fan.

When I saw the announcement of his fight with Saint Preux, I thought: “Damn, he returns to the cage even after all the defeats.” This is a very inspiring example for me. He continues to believe in himself and knows that he is not finished yet, ”The AllStar quotes Cech.

Recall that the 35-year-old Gustafsson is on a series of four defeats in a row.
