Wild training sessions have formed a kind of identity for the former light heavyweight champion Jiří Procházka . From boxing in the woods, hitting the trees, and locking himself up in a dark room to sparring while standing on a frozen lake, he has done it all.

They are expecting to see the fighter back in the ring soon.
After his last win against Jamahal Hill , Jiří Procházka is currently focused on his training, as revealed through an unconventional training video Jiří Procházka’s last ring appearance was against Jamahal Hill at UFC 311, where the former knocked out Hill and secured a win. The former light heavyweight champion has been part of other promotions apart from the UFC, like the Rizin, GCF, RTC, and RFN. In the UFC, the fighter stands with a stat of 5-2-0, while his overall MMA stat is 31-5-1.
Procházka is known for posting his training sessions online. Even before his bout with Hill, the fighter posted videos of himself fighting in the woods. In the video he was seen punching the trees as a substitute for makiwara, a conditioning tool used to increase punch power and core strength.
Similarly, before his fight against Alex Pereira at UFC 295, the fighter trained himself for sensory deprivation. UFC president Dana White stated that the Czech fighter had locked himself up for three straight days without light , food, or water.
“When Jiri found out about the fight, he went into a shed for three days and prayed.” Dana stated via MacLife.
