The Daniel Cormier Show - Jiri Prochazka on FINISHING Carlos Ulberg to win title, Josh Hokit altercation

We open on respect in a clout-chasing era; you nearly stepped to Josh after he ran his mouth, but a title shot matters more than crowd drama, so how do you handle that?

Too many people chase attention by being loud; I will not accept disrespect, but I am not here to scream for views.

The game now can boost talkers fast, while you climbed by beating real contenders; how do you see that balance between hype and merit?

I try to separate what is real and valuable from trash, and put my attention only where the quality is, from what I eat and breathe to the words I use and the thoughts I keep.

Back when we first sat down in Singapore, your martial arts code stood out; how do you stay centered through wins, losses, and all the social noise?

One word, loyalty—to my work and myself; living Bushido took me from chaos to focus so I can be a true man for my family, friends, and my path, and I only use social media for substance.

You always pick the scariest fights to get back to gold; now you have Carlos Ulberg, a very structured striker, so can that rigid system work against your unpredictability?

I want the toughest, that is why I am here; Ulberg has a tight, repeatable game with a few sharp tools, but I do not think he has felt someone like me, and I expect to find the finish and show a new level on Saturday.

It is your fourth title fight, so does it feel do-or-die, and congrats on becoming a dad while we are here in Miami fight week.

Every bout is a championship to me and I live only for fight night; fear is there, but my focus has to be stronger, my family stays home while friends are here, and I wear two watches—one to remind me of purpose and one to track my heartbeat.

With Pereira moving up, some will question the belt, so how do you handle that, and how does this one end since you tend to finish elite guys?

I do not care about that talk and I am not chasing revenge, I am chasing the win; finishing is my nature, done with patience, awareness, and the right moment.
