Martial arts were never meant to become a sport, let alone be part of an entertainment company ruled by money, of which Jiri is an employee. There is nothing samurai in that!
One of? Jiri is the most entertaining Fighter of all time, every second of his matches are fun to watch, and he fights against and dominates the best elite fighters in the game.
Really love his mindset. The man fights for purpose & legacy, not for monetary gain. I hope he continues improving. Inching him closer to reclaim his throne ⚔️💀⚡✊
@@shushurmum I dont agree with the finish but it was a good stoppage by the rules. It was a terrible finish by ref being too anxious and not giving a champion fight through adversity. Ref didnt show the "feel" for mma fights, a lot of fighters on the same night have been given a better opportunity to recover than Jiri but it still was a good stoppage by the rules. Jiri didnt answer like 10 behind the ear elbows
I think jiri beats pereria next time if jiri does big leg kicks 1st round, and punching very aggressive at the beginning, then take him to,the mat second round and submit him or ground and pound him like he did rakic. If he knocks him down first round then he can ground and pound pereria or submit him 1st round. Just depend but don't wait past 2nd round to take him to the mat. must take him down
Jiri embodies wiolence. (No one ever tell him he confuses his Ws and Vs.) Jiri ducked the punches with power. His head movement was sharp AF. He let the ones without power slide. Excellent predator. Fighting just for money (even though half of them lie about not wanting achievement) makes it impersonal and kind of pointless. Good answer, Jiri.
@@Verdiac97I'll explain the Jiri prochazka samouraï situation in détail (shout-out to blue eyed samouraï Andy hug , RIP) : Jiri was a young holligan and started Muay Thai to improve his street fighting skills . His coach offered him the book of five rings, strategy book from famous samouraï Myamoto Musashi (undefeated) and since then was inspired from it . He eventually fought in Japan in RIZIN FF where he became popular (build up like continuity of Mirko CRO cop when CROcop was finishing his career . Rizin ff (attempt of recreating legendary organizations pride FC , same CEO Sakakibara, and btw have best MMA gloves in market since pride FC unlike crappy UFC and one FC ). This is when I became a fan of Jiri prochazka , in 2016 with his fight vs Karl Albreksson . Jiri became rizin light heavyweight champion defeating King Mo Lawal (back then the only guy to ko him , 8 years later Pereira ko him for second time of his life). Some japanese fans compared his attitude with Swiss legendary kyokushin and kickboxer (from golden age of heavyweight) Andy hug (1996 K1 WGP champion, and most popular foreign fighter ever in Japan , even more than prime , rampage Jackson, wanderlei Silva, Mauricio, Fedor , Crocop, Don From, Coleman etc...) . It was during the golden age of K1 . Who was Andy Hug ? : He was a finalist in the most prestigious kyokushin karate event , world open (open weight) against kyokushin karate GOAT Shokei Matsui (loss close fight) . (Back then only japanese win until Brazilian legend and K1 finalist vs mark hunt : Francisco filho). Andy hug became popular in karate and later in kickboxing, because of his will to represent karate spirit and his speciallity , the famous axe kick ("kakato Geri") . He died by leukemia after his last fight vs Mirko CROcop , buried in Kyoto with honorific title of samouraï. It was big deal on TV news in Japan back then with a big funeral in both Switzerland and in Japan . (Now , from this generation , Bernardo legend from south Africa and Branko cikatic also passed away, RIP) I understand the comparison and Jiri prochazka have a better understanding of these things than casual MMA fansbwhibjust want character , and btw he got his green belt in kyokushin karate before this fight . Jiri was fighting long time in Japan (rizin champion) and As popular there , Andy hug (rip) had many nickname in his career ("tetsujin" iron man, "mister karate" , with peter aerts and Ernesto hoost was the only 3 kickboxer who was called "mister K-1") and he was called blue "eyed samouraï" by japanese kickboxing fans. Jiri never claimed to be a samouraï but being inspired by samouraï myamoto Musashi, he already said it when he was fighting in japan. (When fought in UFC did his hair in tribute to Muay Thai fighters as well btw ) . But honestly, if japanese fans called a foreign fighter "blue eyed samouraï " during the 90's , I don't see the problem of calling Jiri prochazka a "samouraï" as well (human samouraï,in rizin some called him the " Czech samouraï" ) . There is no mockery to make , it happened before for one extremely popular fighter in k1 . Jiri is far from being as popular as Andy hug in Japan but some japanese fans compared Jiri prochazka attitude to Andy hug 's attitude and for old school fans it's understandable. Happy to see him win , watch all his fight since 2016, always said he will win when was underrated and not famous, for the first time, I though he would lose to rakic but won like typical Jiri I use to watch. Very happy for the "Czech samouraï" .
its impressive what he survived for sure. but dude has no defense. now question is for how long can he be smashed in the face like he did against rakic, before his chin turns to glass. we’ll see
@@MT-eo6tq The Celts are the oldest historically documented people on Czech territory. Western and southern Bohemia were part of the Celtic homeland, the center of which was the region of the northern Alps and the upper Danube.
This dude is a real martial artist maybe the only one. The rest of UFC are just fighters. Respect.
Facts jiri wants war from the start
Valentina Shevchenko is the #1 martial artist. She put together the violence and mastery. He is still working on it
@@MrSilus2000 Valentina is owned by Nunes and grasso lol
@@MrSilus2000no way. She’s an industry sellout who supports women’s only fans. She’s not a martial artist not even close to

Jiri doesn't understand the concept of a decision win. Tons of respect. One of the most entertaining fighters
fun fact jiri accidentally went to a decision one time in a fight he won but it was because he tore his acl in the fight lmao
@@jake57 haha, not surprised. I knew there would be an explanation as to why one of his wins went to a decision
@@jake57 And it was against a 250lbs heavyweight as well.

He understands it of course hahaha but it makes no sense to him.
Jiří's english is better and better so happy for him! 👊🔥☺️
Putting Jiri on the prelims one of the worst decisions EVER !!
His fight should've been the opener instead of Bo Nickel.
Really love his mindset.
The man fights for purpose & legacy, not for monetary gain.
I hope he continues improving.
Inching him closer to reclaim his throne ⚔️💀⚡✊

Love than he tries his best to speak English! Great guy love his fighting style and his humbleness 🙏👊
Jiri vs Alexander Rakic was an epic match up, Jiri with the big win. 👏
Racic wasn’t snapping his punches that’s good info for his coaches
Maybe, but one did daze jiri. I think jiri just trained harder for this one and had a better game plan
@@a_ya5555 Not really, he is just on a different level mentally
@@a_ya5555 I believe it was an elbow that dazed him, not a punch
@JonathanAllan-xd8ne yeah he was visibly tense, while Jiri's movement flowed
Kámo to je normálne neúcta, taký pekný výstrih a ani raz sa tam nepozrieš 😃 niee srandujem, parádny výkon gratulujem k výhre. 😉👍

Rakic Hit Jiri with some good shots that looked heavy and Jiri took them. Imagine the power of Pereira to finish this man.
First of all he did not finish him
@@Janyck91 it was a tko therefore a finish
@@Dzenda-qg4hr jiri was not out, the ref stopped it way too early. Every mma analyst, fan and many fighters agree it was early

Jiri is an animal
He could be a an antagonist in Shogun season 2, he needs to get into acting
That would be so good
I don't think there's a season 2.
@@Sasquatch10 I know and its beside the point, he needs to be recruited into some form of acting, his character is outstanding
He should do movies.
Guys this dudes record is 30-4
And he’s 31 yo. Unreal.

Modern samurai jiri prochazka
Jiri is my favorite UFC fighter! "Sorry Yair Rodriguez"
Honorable mention: Oh Caroline 😮 🔥
Yes, Caroline! Kind of disappointed though! I would have bet, she is natural! And she ain't.
Im blinded by love so I see her being natural❤
What a WARRIOR 💪🏻
When Jiri fights Pereira again, he'll need to either submit him or hurt him first before getting hit with lethal punches.
The real deal! Go go P!
Great warrior oss 🙏
Caroline Pearce though 😍😅
Jiri brings the Shogun.
The UFC might match Jiri and Anakalev for the no:1 contender or Ankalaev will receive the next title shot.
They had my guy as underdog 😂 mistake!
They also had Blachowicz as a underdog against Rakic
@@wildberry752 rakic would've won that if he didnt get hurt
@@prodbypjay7148 no he wouldn't they were 1-1 going into round 3 when Rakic got hurt

Great questions actually. Btw Alex definetaly could ko many fighters, he just happened to fight a zombie tonight🙃
Totally bonker that he was not fighting on the main card.
its impressive what he survived for sure. but dude has no defense. now question is for how long can he be smashed in the face like he did against rakic, before his chin turns to glass. we’ll see
He said "violent"...
Also - Pereira power is different.
Jiri wanna taste it again?
Yeah,Jiri wanna one more try.....
i see two TNTs
TnT / were is the baldy guy and the beardy guy ?
survives the early storm by eating all the shots and making mean face. jiri is worse now then he was 3 years ago. no defence at all. just zombie
He has really given up on any defense whatsoever.:) Simply hands down, stance wide, eating shots and calf kicks left to right. Walking dead.
Impressive? Yes. Masterful? No. He's one of the sloppiest elite fighters I've ever seen 😂
sadly i have to agree
and i root for him, he's a fellow countryman
