“I don’t care what he’s saying because it’s not mainly about me; it just shows what’s in his head.

Jiri Prochazka He also stated that he does not mind provocations because he believes that a truly confident man does not need to speak ill of others, extol his own strengths or point out weaknesses in the opponent. For him, this shows weakness, while true power lies in taking action and proving one's superiority with actions.

“That’s why I don’t care about these provocations. Do you know what a truly confident man, a real man is like? He doesn’t need to talk s**t about others, or talk about his strengths and his opponent’s weaknesses, because he’s confident enough not to. For me, that’s the real power of a man. That’s it. I don’t want to talk… I want to talk about others, but why should I? I see it as a weakness, talking s**t about my opponents. I’m going out there, I’m going to show my best and prove to the world that I’m the best. My actions will speak,” Jiri concluded.
