Jiri Prochazka's Brutal Shoulder Injury Shocks UFC Doctors - Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan and Jamahal Hill discuss Jiri Prochazka's injury and his unusual behavior. They talk about a video where Jiri humorously says "I'm coming," which has now ruined the phrase for Jamahal. They describe Jiri as an "odd duck" with strange habits, like congratulating his opponent during a fight or training by kicking trees. They also discuss Jiri's severe shoulder injury, worsened by improper handling during training, leading to his decision to relinquish his UFC title. They find this decision odd, as it impacts his legacy and financial gains. They speculate on Jiri's motivations, suggesting he wants to project a noble image.
