Invited to promote an event held by RIZIN, in Japan, Alex Poatán e Jiri Prochazka ended up 'bumping into each other' in the audience and were forced to make contact. Despite the great rivalry in the UFC, the fighters chose to maintain a friendly atmosphere and greeted each other normally during the show (watch below).

Longtime rivals, Poatan and Prochazka have already faced each other twice during their careers in the UFC. The winner on each occasion, the Brazilian was accused by his opponent of using 'magic' to succeed in duels fought in the octagon. Despite all the fallacy, the São Paulo native did not seem to be irritated by the Czech's statements.
