“When Jiri (Prochakza) found out about the fight [with Alex Pereira]; apparently, he goes into a shed for three days with no water, no food, no nothing – and prays, meditates, whatever he does,” Dana White told The Mac Life. “Apparently, his coach went and banged on the door and told him that this fight was available, and he said something to the effect of ‘If this is what the universe wants’ – so he is that dude.”

“This is real, this isn’t fabricated bullsh*t where somebody wants to come out with a gimmicky f*ckin’ wrestling-type thing,” White explained. “This is who these two guys really f*ckin’ are, man. … These guys are both legit killers and numbers don’t lie, when you look at the stats of what these guys have accomplished, it’s incredible.”

Jiri Prochazka doubles down on claim that Alex Pereira is using ‘spirits’ and ‘dirty practices’ ahead of UFC 303

Alex Pereira is refusing to holster the magic ahead of his UFC 303 rematch with Jiri Prochazka.

Earlier this week, Prochazka called for a cease-fire on all things spiritual, telling Ariel Helwani that ‘Poatan’ is scoring wins inside the Octagon thanks to his work with Brazilian shamans. Hours away from their highly anticipated title rematch, ‘BJP’ doubled down on his accusation, declaring his belief that Pereira can’t fight without his “rituals.”

“Everybody knows that he’s doing these rituals before the fight,” Prochazka said. “Everybody can feel that, what’s around him and what’s going on. And I think Alex can’t fight without that. So, that’s something he’s using normally in fighting.

“This is my challenge to to him: if we can fight in a clear way, in this case, yeah? To be without some another things. Let the higher power be there in the cage to see who’s the best in the world, in the performance, in the pure performance. That’s all.”

Pereira offered a rather cold response to Prochazka’s unorthodox challenge.

“Everybody has their own spirits, we’re not just made of flesh and bone,” Pereira said during his turn to speak at the UFC 303 press conference. “If he did not find his or he doesn’t believe, that’s not my fault.”

Prochazka reiterated that his request is not a question of whether or not he believes—it’s about leaving “dirty practices” at the door and fighting “in a clear way.”

“Sorry, this is not a question of if I believe, if I am self-confident or not. I am 100% self-confident, but this is about dirty practices and all those things behind that,” Pereira replied. “I just want to keep that in a clear way, that’s all I’m talking about.”

Clearly, things are getting a little personal between the two light-heavyweight superstars.
