Ex-UFC fighter has 3 outright hilarious theories on why USADA tests Jiri Prochazka so much

It recently came to light that Jiri Prochazka tops the list of USADA's most tested athletes, with the Czech fighter providing an astonishing 62 samples to the drug testing agency. For context, the next highest-tested fighter in the UFC has provided only 20 samples.

Check out the tweet below:

USADA updated their database over the weekend. They have tested 3,286 athletes across 72 sports this year with a total of 11,001 samples. The UFC accounts for 38% of all athletes tested.

While many fans have speculated as to why the former light heavyweight champion was tested so frequently, Ben Askren has come up with three hilarious theories to explain why.

In a conversation with Daniel Cormier on his YouTube channel, Askren opined that Jiri Prochazka is being targeted, and as 'DC' cracked up, he provided three possible explanations for it:

"Number-one, he's dirty and they know he's dirty but they can't figure out how to catch him... Number-two, there is a [Czech Republic] Polish USADA branch and they need to get a certain amount of tests... So they just test him all the time because he's close by... Number-three, the person that tests him likes to look at his junk... That's definitely possible."

Jiri Prochazka is currently recovering from a shoulder surgery and is expected to be out of the octagon for an extended period of time. 'Denisa' is expected to make his return late next year and get a straight shot at the title he vacated as a result of the injury.

Jiri Prochazka opens up about shoulder injury that caused him to vacate his title

Jiri Prochazka was forced to pull out of his scheduled UFC 282 title defense against Glover Teixeira due to a grisly shoulder injury. As a result, 'Denisa' chose to immediately vacate his light heavyweight title as he is likely to be inactive for a long time.

It seems that 'The Czech Samurai' dislocated his shoulder during one of the training sessions leading up to the UFC 282 event. Prochazka made the error of allowing his sparring partner to take his back and follow up with a suplex move.

While recently speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Jiri Prochazka was asked about how the injury occurred. 'Denisa' iterated:

“Everything was light, nobody did anything wrong, but I made some mistakes. I let the guy take my back. He did a suplex right on my shoulder. And that was that... That's life... The shoulder was out, and one guy, he put me on that shoulder back, one of the Russian guys from Ankalaev’s team. And after that, we went to the hospital."

After initially being announced as the co-headliners, Magomed Ankalaev and Jan Blachowicz fought for the title instead as the main event at UFC 282. However, with a split draw result, the light heavyweight title remains vacant.
