A Jiri Prochazka fan touched the internet after posting about her battle with cancer. Before losing her hair due to chemotherapy treatment, the user 'butterfly105' recreated the look of the former light heavyweight champion (up to 93kg), who fights with his hair pulled back like an antenna.

The fan reported that it wasn't easy to get her hair like her favorite UFC fighter's, with long blond locks falling out, but she ended up managing to make the perfect ponytail for the photo.
“I lost my hair to chemotherapy – but not before celebrating my favorite UFC fighter! I had so much fun doing this with my friend before shaving it all off! Cancer sucks, but sometimes you have to make the most of it! I wasn’t as emotional about losing my hair as I thought I would be. I also had long blonde hair before, but at least it made Jiri’s ponytail easier to do. I’ll be cheering for my boy in January!”, wrote the fan on the social network 'Reddit'. (see photo below)
Upon learning of the tribute, Jiri Prochazka took to social media to send a message of support to the fan. On Monday (16), he used his official account on 'X' (formerly Twitter) to post a montage with the look of the two and wrote:
"Every fighter should have war hair." (see below)
Every fighter should have a warhair
