Media Jiri Prochazka Shaves his Head In Support of Cancer Patient, Flies Patient To UFC 311, Donates $50K to Help Her

[Fergelmince]

This may have been mentioned elsewhere, but I think it deserves it's own thread.

I've always thought Prochazka was a good fighter, awkward in the cage, with a weird personality. Kind of a 24/7 cosplay situation with that Ninja stuff.

All that being said, bruh shaved his head to "show solidarity" with a cancer patient, flying her to the fight and donating $50K to help the girl. When Jiri announced his help for her, Dana White announced he would match the donation for a total of $100K to help the kid with her cancer treatment bills.

"Speaking about her experience on Reddit, the fan said Prochazka was her "favourite UFC fighter".

"I had a lot of fun doing this with my friend before shaving it all off," she said.

"Cancer sucks, but you have to make the best of it sometimes."

Wow. What a good guy.

He Looks good with the shaved head, Joe.

Jiri doesn't need a UFC belt, he's already a champion every day in life.

 

[Papasmurf45619]

Jiri is the fucking man. He gets clowned on a lot here and I don't get it. He's unique, not overly offensive, and a kill or be killed type every time he fights. War Jiri

 

[Dobymick]

He is a great honorable man

 

[that Indian]

Jiri is champion level human.

Dana is so filthy rich that 50K is ego money for him; love that he matched the donation but he did that to get one round of applause from the audience.

 

[Simple Southerner]

It was nice seeing the bald goof match jiri`s 50 k

 

[usernamee]

I understood it as he's donating 50k for like cancer research or something like that and not specifically donating it all to the girl?

Dude Dana even went bald to support cancer patients

 

[HHJ]

but he did that to get one round of applause from the audience.

Dana doesnt give a shit about the audience. He does do nice things from time to time.

hard disagree. he definitely does nice things but I believe he does those nice things out of ego. at the end of the day, he wants to be revered and loved like the fighters

 

[that Indian]

why so edgy buddy? do you require a trigger warning on my opinions? do you have a xanax nearby?

Nah hes a gambler, not a miser.

Whats the point of havin money if you cant just bust it out and do something nice when you feel like it?

I think this is something that can effect anyone and he thought to help too.

 

[BangBang]

What's not to like? Love to see this. I haven't read the ins and outs but assuming he hasn't asked the patient to sign a contract where she in return has to spar with him in the mountains for 6 weeks without food or water, then it's all good.

Brother, when someone does something good, you don't have to find a reason to shit on it. Just be happy somebody is going to benefit off whatever Dana gives.

Yes

it does not really matter the reason why, as you cannot drill into a person's head to find the truth

it is the action that matters anyway

well ultimately, there are few things less fruitful than speculating on another man's motivations. at the end of the day, 50K is 50K whether that's primarily driven by altruism or egoism. its a good move, the intentions are debatable and also irrelevant really.

edit: yea we have all come to the same conclusions. but i don't get why people have to be so testy if i point out that it is egoism. that is my opinion and i don't know if Dana himself would be too offended (he would just tell me I'm full of shit) so I don't get why people have to jump in to white knight him either

It's because this sort of attitude deters people from doing good things, even if those things are done for all the (wrong) reasons. I'll personally send Dana a written letter telling him how awesome he is if he wants to donate another 50k.
