Early life

Procházka was born on October 14, 1992, in a hospital in Znojmo in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic),[1] but he comes from the nearby village of Hostěradice.[5] Procházka's father died when he was six years old.[6] In his youth, Procházka played amateur football for TJ Družstevník Hostěradice. He was also an active freestyle BMX rider and a floorball player.[7]

As a teen, Procházka partook in street fights almost weekly, getting into more than 100 of them. This eventually led him to join the hooligan club tied to Procházka's local football team, FC Zbrojovka Brno, where he would take part in organized group street fights with clubs of other teams, even participating in 30-on-30 brawls.[8]

Procházka first encountered mixed martial arts before beginning high school, after a friend showed him videos of kickboxer Ramon Dekkers and mixed martial artists Mirko Filipovic and Fedor Emelianenko.[9] After watching the film Never Back Down, he began to train in martial arts, in particular Thai boxing.
