Dana White claims that Jiri Prochazka has a method that is, at the very least, unusual for conducting his negotiations with the Ultimate. According to the organization's president, the Czech, scheduled for the main event of UFC 327, scheduled for next Saturday (11), resorts to spiritual practices before deciding whether or not to accept a fight.
During a live stream with Adin Ross on the Kick platform, the executive revealed that Prochazka usually isolates himself in the forest and seeks spiritual guidance before giving a definitive answer to the UFC, returning days later to confirm or reject the offer.

"When you call him to accept the fight, he goes into the woods, talks to whoever is there spiritually, and comes back a few days later to say yes or no," said Dana White.

Jiri Prochazka faces Carlos Ulberg in the main event of UFC 327, in a fight for the light heavyweight title (up to 93 kg). This is because the then champion, Alex Poatan , decided to relinquish the title to move up a weight class and attempt an unprecedented triple championship in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The Brazilian fighter is scheduled to face Ciryl Gane in the main event of UFC Casa Branca , scheduled for June 14th.
