It's no secret that Jiri Prochazka is one of the most unconventional fighters in combat sports. And recently, the former UFC light heavyweight champion (up to 93 kg) gave another example of just how insane he can be. The Czech fighter, who is preparing to face the undefeated Navajo Stirling in the main event of UFC Qatar, scheduled for November 21st, showed that he's not just hungry for a fight.

On his social media, Prochazka shocked fans by posting a video of himself eating a giant spider. Without fear of the consequences, 'Denisa', upon seeing the 'delicacy', didn't hesitate to put the whole thing in his mouth, chewed it, and even stuck his tongue out at the camera. Although it's unusual to see someone eating a tarantula, the Czech man's actions aren't surprising, given that he frequently finds himself in unusual and even dangerous situations.
