Joe Rogan about Jiri Prochazka’s injury
According to Rogan, Prochazka‘s injury was the worst that the UFC doctors had ever seen. “His shoulder was the worst shoulder they had ever seen,” said Rogan. Apparently, Prochazka‘s shoulder had popped out of its socket during training camp, and his teammates had tried to force it back in. Unfortunately, this only made the injury worse.

“His shoulder went out of the socket at training camp and they tried to put it back in. And these dudes are yanking on him. Just gym dudes yanking on him, they f*cked it up way worse. Go to the f*cking doctor, you are a world champion,” Rogan said.
