Whittaker: "The walker is crazy, he is ready to die in a cage"

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker shared his opinion about Jiri Prochazke, who vacated the light heavyweight title in late December.

"He's a monster. And so huge... Not to mention that he's crazy. He has no restrictions as to what he wants to do. Completely nuts. No extra thoughts. There is nothing in his head except what occupies him.

He doesn't care about everything. He is ready to go into the cage and die in it. You can see this by watching his fights, and it's scary, ”said the Australian in an interview with Submission Radio.

Recall that on December 11 at UFC 282, Prochazka was supposed to defend the title in a rematch against Glover Teixeira, but a few days before the fight, the Czech seriously injured his shoulder and withdrew from the fight. Out of respect for other fighters of the division, Jiri decided to remove himself from the authority of the champion.
