Jiri Procházka, also known as "The Czech Samurai," is making waves in the UFC's light heavyweight division with his impressive fighting skills and unique appearance. With 25 knockout wins and 28 victories in his professional career, Procházka has established himself as a knock-out master.
Procházka's nickname, "The Czech Samurai," was given to him by fans and the media due to his distinctive style and popularity. He believes the nickname originated from his time fighting in Japan.
In an interview, he explained: "It started to come out in the media. It had something to do with me fighting in Japan. However, I suspect it might also be because some eight years ago, my coach gave me The Book of the Five Rings by the most famous sword master Miyamoto Musashi."
Another nickname that Procházka is known by is "BJP," which stands for "Bomby Jak Pa" in Czech. This translates to "bomb the s**t out of him" in English, reflecting his ability to knock opponents out cold in almost every fight. "BJP" has become his battle cry and is also the name of his merchandise brand.
Does he have other nicknames?
Before earning these nicknames, Procházka was called "Denisa" by accident. When someone called out the name "Denisa," he responded to it, and the nickname stuck. While he is still occasionally referred to as "Denisa" by some organizations and individuals, he has not opposed it.
Procházka's upcoming fight is against the current Brazilian champion, Glover Teixeira, for the light heavyweight title at UFC 275. Fans are eagerly anticipating this match-up, as Procházka has proven himself to be a dangerous and brutal fighter.
In terms of his fighting style, Procházka appears calm and collected outside of the octagon but transforms into a fierce and formidable opponent once inside. His spinning knockout against Dominic Reyes is a testament to his skills and highlights his ability to finish fights in spectacular fashion.
With only two fights in the UFC under his belt, both ending in knockout victories, Procházka is quickly rising through the ranks of the light heavyweight division. His upcoming title fight against Teixeira will undoubtedly be a thrilling match-up that fans won't want to miss.
