"I love shit like this! Jiri, when he found out about the fight, went on retreat for three days. No food! All he did was pray and meditate. His trainer told him he could fight Pereira, what was Prochazka's response? "If the universe so wills!" Shamans, magic, sorcery - that's why it's such a great fight. They seriously believe in it, it's not made-up antics. This is not wrestling. These are real fighters, because of which people love the UFC," White said in an interview with Mas Life.
Recall, the fight Pereira with Prochazka will take place on June 29 as part of UFC 303.
