UFC light heavyweight Jamahal Hill has praised former rival Jiri Prochazka for reportedly putting university studies ahead of a potential title shot.
According to his manager Tim Simpson, Jiri Prochazka was offered the opportunity to face Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 317 for the UFC light heavyweight championship. However, he instead opted to focus on an exam that he’s preparing for at Masaryk University. Jiri has always been someone who sticks to his values, and this seems to be yet another sign of that.
Back at the start of the year, Jamahal Hill was defeated by Jiri Prochazka in what turned out to be a pretty heated affair between the two.
