Prochazka is scheduled to fight Carlos Ulberg for the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 327 on Saturday at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Prochazka recently put his hand on a nest of Mexican ants as part of his training. The Czech star says the bites were not the most painful that he has experienced so far. According to Prochazka, one must experience and overcome pain to become stronger.

Find the Strength
“I tried to feel the bites of these Mexican ants,” Prochazka told the UFC. “This one from the video, they were not so painful. These ones, which were in the grass, those were painful bites. If you are looking for strength, you have to find the strength in animals, places, feel the pain, overcome the pain.”
Prochazka (32-5) is one of the most unorthodox personalities to have ever graced the sport. A strict follower of the Bushido code, “BJP” often engages in bizarre training techniques like rubbing himself with nettles or locking himself in a dark room for three days without food or water. Prochazka has finished all six of his UFC wins so far, while losing two title fights against Alex Pereira. Meanwhile, Ulberg (13-1) is undefeated in nine straight outings since his lone career loss in his UFC debut in 2021.
