Earlier this month, Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Rountree Jr put on an absolute masterclass at UFC 320. In the first two rounds of the contest, it certainly seemed as if Rountree Jr was getting the better of the exchanges in a really solid, technical performance. Alas, in the third and final round, the samuari spirit of Prochazka came through in a manner that very few could've imagined, and he was eventually able to knock Khalil out cold in an absolutely crazy moment.

“Khalil is such a warrior. Unlike some opponents, our relationship was easy. There was no hate, just respect. It was refreshing to meet an opponent like that with respect between us. But I felt I needed some more aggression, a little chip on the shoulder to fuel me.”
