Magomed Ankalaev takes shots at Jiri Prochazka's higher education goals with "nerd" diss, fans react: "Ankalaev's trash talk is 0/10"

Fans reacted as Magomed Ankalaev launched another unprovoked verbal attack on Jiri Prochazka. Although the pair have not crossed paths in the competitive MMA circuit thus far, Ankalaev, particularly after becoming the UFC light heavyweight champion, has fueled a rivalry with Prochazka, forcing him to respond with harsh words.

Prochazka's recent social media post hinted at a fight announcement, as he wrote:

"Something coming, step by step."

Ankalaev took a stinging jab at Prochazka for the post, responding:

"Yes, your homework. You're a nerd."

Prochazka, who holds a bachelor's degree in Special Education for Security Forces from Masaryk University, is currently pursuing a master's degree in Security and Strategic Studies at the same university. Ankalaev's verbal attacks aim at this.

Fans flooded the comments section of the post to share their thoughts on Ankalaev's remarks. While some found the comments hilarious, others questioned his repeated attacks on Prochazka, who refrains from making personal remarks and has maintained a respectful demeanour towards his opponents.

Meanwhile, many questioned if it was, in fact, Magomedov or his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, posting from the Dagestani fighter's social media handle.

One fan commented:

"Ankalaev's trash talk is 0/10."

Another fan wrote:

"That ain't Ank posting."

When Jiri Prochazka responded to Magomed Ankalaev's verbal attacks in strong words

Following Magomed Ankalaev's win over Alex Pereira at UFC 313, Jiri Prochazka shared his opinion that most fans would not appreciate his performance in the fight, presumably because of the lack of highlight reel moments and optics.

In response, Ankalaev labelled Prochazka "a fraud" in his social media post. Reacting to his comments in an interview with Ariel Helani, Prochazka said:

"He don't know me. He don't know me. I don't know him personally. One thing what I can say to Ankalaev, he can think whatever he wants, but I know the only person who is a fraud is him because when I met him in the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, he was there, he was very nice, he was friendly, 'hello, nice to meet you, all good' and right now, he's a superstar and a big gangster and right now he's playing this game and he's hyped."
