Joe Rogan: "That goes in my mind" - Jiri Prochazka addresses Joe Rogan’s viral UFC 320 ceremonial weigh-in reaction

Jiri Prochazka captured attention during the ceremonial weigh-ins at UFC 320 by stripping down more than usual. Unlike official weigh-ins, where fighters typically wear only minimal attire, fighters wear tracksuits or full gear during ceremonial weigh-ins.

Prochazka chose to follow the official weigh-ins route, drawing a smile from Joe Rogan, who called the fighters on stage. The moment quickly went viral on social media.

Prochazka addressed the moment during an interview with 'The Schmo', explaining it was a decision that simply crossed his mind as he stepped onto the scale. He said:

"Man, you know, when I stand on the line before the weigh-in, I just said [to] myself, 'Man, it's official weigh-ins or we can get just the shorts.' Okay, to be sure, I will leave everything. Of course, the pants, I will leave the underwear [on]. Yeah. So that goes in my mind."
