\nProchazka<\/a> is the true embodiment of the samurai
\nlifestyle. <\/p>\n

Prochazka is scheduled to fight Carlos
\nUlberg<\/a> for the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 327<\/a>
\non Saturday at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Prochazka
\nrecently put his hand on a nest of Mexican ants as part of his
\ntraining. The Czech star says the bites were not the most painful
\nthat he has experienced so far. According to Prochazka, one must
\nexperience and overcome pain to become stronger.<\/p>\n

Find the Strength<\/h2>\n

\u201cI tried to feel the bites of these Mexican ants,\u201d Prochazka told
\nthe UFC. \u201cThis one from the video, they were not so painful. These
\nones, which were in the grass, those were painful bites. If you are
\nlooking for strength, you have to find the strength in animals,
\nplaces, feel the pain, overcome the pain.\u201d <\/p>\n

Prochazka (32-5) is one of the most unorthodox personalities to
\nhave ever graced the sport. A strict follower of the Bushido code,
\n\u201cBJP\u201d often engages in bizarre training techniques like rubbing
\nhimself with nettles or locking himself in a dark room for three
\ndays without food or water. Prochazka has finished all six of his
\n
\nUFC<\/a> wins so far, while losing two title fights against Alex
\nPereira<\/a>. Meanwhile, Ulberg (13-1) is undefeated in nine
\nstraight outings since his lone career loss in his UFC debut in
\n2021. <\/p>\n
