Jiri Prochazka has appeared in a new commercial for Dwayne Johnson's Project Rock 'Be Bullish' campaign and many are excited about it. Some are even comparing it to something that you would see within a WWE broadcast. The advertisement sees the former UFC light heavyweight champion touching a Brahma Bull insignia on the wall which is a big part of 'The Rock's' branding.

At this juncture, a gigantic bull pops out of the wall and engages in a test of strength with Prochazka. The footage was posted to the Project Rock Instagram page and several mixed martial arts enthusiasts, including the reigning interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, took to the comment section to offer their thoughts on the commercial.

Jiri Prochazka, Dwayne Johnson, and being bullish

Jiri Prochazka and 'The Rock' have other points of connectivity beyond this new commercial that was getting people talking. For his UFC 295 fight in Madison Square Garden, Prochazka used music for his walkout that many connect to Dwayne Johnson.

The 31-year-old walked out to the theme song of the DC film 'Black Adam' in pursuit of becoming a two-time champion at 205 pounds. Johnson played the titular figure in the film and the song Prochazka used was composed by Lorne Balfe.

The Czech native ended up falling short of Alex Pereira in this outing as he was stopped with strikes in the second stanza. A recent instance of Prochazka being bullish came in the form of eyeballing championship gold in a different weight category following his second loss to Pereira at UFC 303 in June.

There has been some discourse from Prochazka about pursuing the middleweight title and becoming only the second man in promotional history to have held gold at 185 pounds and 205 pounds. The first person to have done this is the aforementioned Pereira with 'Poatan' making that history at Prochazka's expense last November in their first fight.

This is a move that seems to be getting fans and analysts alike talking but nothing has been solidified, as of this writing, in regards to Prochazka being locked in for a fight at middleweight for his next outing.
