Pereira responded to Prochazka's accusations of using shamans and spirits

UFC bantamweight champion Alex Pereira responded to Jiri Prochazka's accusations that he allegedly wins at the expense of shamans and spirits.

"Each of us has our own spirits present. After all, we are not only made of flesh and blood. I have found my spirits. If he has not found his or if he does not believe in such things - it's not my fault," said the Brazilian at a press conference ahead of the UFC show.

Recall, on June 29, Pereira and Prochazka will hold a rematch. This fight will headline the UFC 303 tournament.
