Prochazka recently slammed Jean Silva for a move that he found disrespectful. Silva earned a lopsided unanimous decision win over Arnold Allen at UFC 324 this past January. With the scorecards evidently leaning towards him, Silva dragged Allen to the mat and jumped off his back in the final round to showboat. Prochazka found Silva’s move disrespectful. “BJP” believes fighters should work on developing their game instead of wasting precious time styling on their opponents.
‘Fight Better’
“I saw a Brazilian guy who jumped off another opponent’s back,” Prochazka said on Adin Ross’ live stream. “It was very disrespectful I think. When you have time for these stupid things, fight better. Fight better, end it, and be the winner, show it. Don’t do these stupid things in the cage. You have to respect the ethic in the cage.”
Disrespectful celebrations are not to be taken lightly in MMA. Drew Chatman had to suffer the consequences of a celebration like Silva’s. Chatman faced Irvins Ayala at a Legacy Fighting Alliance event in 2018. Ayala knocked himself out by landing face-first on the knee of a downed Chatman. Chatman celebrated the win by back flipping off a knocked-out Ayala. The decision was later overturned to a loss for Chatman due to “unsportsmanlike” conduct.
