‘No one will speak with me like that’

Two daring personalities clashed during UFC 327 fight week in Miami.

Together with his first child expected to be born just days after his upcoming vacant title fight, Jiri Prochazka has lots on his mind heading into April 11.

The previous champion’s zen-like attitude paired together with his somewhat chaotic but at all times violent fighting style has made him a fan favorite.

Josh Hokit, who can be in motion on the Kaseya Center, has quickly made a reputation for himself in a really different way as was evident earlier today.

Jiri Prochazka admits he didn’t know who Josh Hokit was but wasn’t going to disregard him

During media day in Miami, Josh Hokit and Jiri Prochazka shared a bizarre exchange that involved the American heavyweight shouting at his fellow fighter while doing a Mexican accent.

Prochazka sat down for an interview with Daniel Cormier and was immediately asked what this confrontation was about.

He admitted that he didn’t know who Hokit was, adding that he wasn’t going to try to fight the previous NFL player, but did rise up for himself.

“Let him be more humble because he can do all this trash [talking], whatever he’s doing, this show, but don’t discuss me, man… No one will speak with me like that in the gang.”

Prochazka added that Hokit has been attempting to “scream at everyone” so didn’t take it personally, stating that he doesn’t care in regards to the fighter’s actions.

“Now we have to start out watching more what’s true on this world and what’s invaluable,” the previous champion continued. “A variety of attention on this world we’re giving to the trash so we’ve got to separate where to concentrate, where is the nice quality of attention to make our lives good quality and never quantity and trash and that’s working in every thing.”

Cormier joked several minutes into the interview that they might each still hear Hokit shouting during his media day interview.

“He’ll scream all day because perhaps that’s the one way he can take attention… doesn’t matter for me,” Prochazka responded.
