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.

In the hope of having a confirmed rematch against Magomed Ankalayev, Poatan continues to travel around the world to promote brands and events. He is clearly interested in fighting again in August and is counting on the new champion to do the same, as he has been using social media to heat up the rivalry and promote a second fight.
On the other hand, Prochazka is waiting for the decision of the leaders to define his next step in the division. Currently second in the ranking, the Czech managed to return to winning ways after a brutal knockout. Jamahal hill in his last fight. Even with a negative record against Poatan, the Czech asks for the opportunity to have a trilogy.
