Joe Rogan and Jamahal Hill react to Jiri Prochazka vacating the belt after being injured

Joe Rogan and Jamahal Hill reacted to Jiri Prochazka vacating the UFC light heavyweight championship due to his injury and what makes him different from other fighters.

During episode #136 of the JRE MMA Show, Rogan and Hill talked about some of Prochazka's antics inside the octagon during his fight with Glover Teixeira at UFC 275 last June.

Rogan said:

"He's an odd duck. That dude's an odd duck, he's strange. He's very different. Did you see when he was fighting Glover [Teixeira] and Glover was beating him up and he was like, 'Good job. Good job.' I thought it was like, 'Well you can't do that man. It looks like you're tapping. Like, what are you doing?'" [3:45 - 4:00]

The JRE host and 'Sweet Dreams' then shared a laugh when discussing the video 'Denisa' posted to his social media, where he issued a warning that he was coming to regain the title. Hill mentioned that Prochazka might have made a mistake relinquishing the light heavyweight championship, saying:

"'He's an odd dude. Yeah that's strange cause that's not only like a bad move legacy wise, that was a bad business move because now in your next fight you fight as a challenger. You don't get the same pay-per-view buys, you don't get the same amount of money or none of that." [5:44 - 6:05]

It remains to be seen how long Prochazka is expected to remain out of action, but he will most likely earn a title shot when he returns because he never lost it.

It's understandable that Jamahal Hill has a target on his back as he is now the fighter to beat in the light heavyweight division.

During episode #136 of the JRE MMA Show, 'Sweet Dreams' and Joe Rogan shared a laugh after watching the video Jiri Prochazka posted on social media warning the champion that he was coming to regain the title.

He said:

"Yelling in the woods... I wanna know what it is about being in the woods that him wants to yell...What is it? Are you upset with the trees? Do you just feel alone? Do you wanna be heard?... It makes me feel weird even saying it in the 'I'm coming' video." [7:01 - 7:50]

Hill vs. Prochazka seems like the most logical fight to book based on what transpired at UFC 283, but it will depend on the timetable for the former champion's return.
