Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker shared his thoughts on the possible move of former welterweight division leader Jiri Prochazka to the 84-pound class.
"I like Jiri a lot, but if he goes down to middleweight, we'll be opponents - that's the way we play the game. He has the guts to make 84 kg. But don't get me wrong, this guy has a mental disorder, Jiri is on the verge of a breakdown. If he wants to go down to the middle division, he will - it's hard to say if that would be a good move or not.
It's hard for me to envision him in the middle division as I've seen him in real life. Jiri is a big guy and it's not just about his physicality. He has a strong build, he has broad shoulders, he's pretty tall, about 1.9 meters. Dude, stay at flyweight so we can stay friends (laughs)," - quotes Whittaker Bloody Elbow.
Recall that Prochazka knocked out Aleksandar Rakic in the second round at UFC 300 on April 13.
