A new craze has seemingly appeared, which sees UFC fighters share the cage with YouTubers for a sparring session. Now, fan-favorite Jiri Prochazka is the latest to get involved with the trend.
The European powerhouse quickly became one of the sport’s most beloved athletes when he joined the UFC five years ago. The 32-year-old has enjoyed much success inside the octagon, capturing 205 gold and battling his way to a 5-2 record; his only losses coming against Alex Pereira.
Jiri Prochazka is known for his eccentric nature, and that translates to his ability inside the cage. As he sits on the sidelines waiting for his next bout agreement, Prochazka has been beating up YouTubers to pass the time.
Prochazka was invited to train with MMA fighter Oliver Enkamp and his younger brother Jesse Enkamp. Jesse is best known for being a karate instructor who has over a million subscribers on YouTube.Â
The brothers tried their luck with the UFC standout, but it didn’t go to plan for either of the Swedish natives, and a surprising fate met the pair.
MMA veteran Oliver Enkamp stepped up first. After clearly struggling on the feet, Oliver tried to mix in some wrestling but was unsuccessful.Â
Prochazka began picking him apart from the outside before closing the distance and landing a crushing knee that brought an end to their spar.

It was Jesse Enkamp’s turn next, but the proceedings didn’t go too much differently.
Jiri Prochazka landed much less on Jesse, but didn’t need much to finish his opponent. The titan ended their meeting with yet another damaging knee to the body.
The Enkamps then attempted to wrestle Prochazka to the ground before the camera cuts off.
