Jiri is such a likeable guy. Very few fighters are so honest with the media and themselves as Jiri is, and he shows us time and time again that he really is an honorable man..... giving the belt up when he got injured, accepting his loss with grace, not blaming Marc Goddard like most would, etc. I like Rakic too but I'm rooting for Jiri 100%, I wanna see that rematch with Alex!! 😁✌️
Love it when Jiri raises his arm in the air and says ''Let's go for that.''
I'd love to hear "pussymans" again. Even typing it, it makes me laugh. It is the nickname, now, for my little boy cat.
@@GuerillaCatty73??
@@Pia-ho9dm Are you confusing me with the German Shepherd?
@@GuerillaCatty73 you don't make sense. So I don't know what to say.
Jiri has become one of my favorite fighters. I really admire his bushido spirit and i hope he can learn and come back stronger from his loss to Alex
Wish everyone was self-accountable in life like him.
He will be champion again! He is still young and his mindset is unbreakable. Let's go Jiri!!! 🇨🇿👑
No, he won't. He's been in way too many wars. His body can't keep taking so much abuse.
@@NinjaDildoShow What wars?? Lol, he has only been to the 5th round once and out of 33fights 25 ended in the first round. You’re going to get hit, it’s fighting, doesn’t mean it’s a war.
@@FIELDROXthat glover fight was a war and then just came back and got knocked out not to mention he’s been knocked out a few times in fights that he proceeded to win, it’s definitely not good for your brain regardless. eventually it takes a toll. Jiri still fine though people get caught all the time even Alex got caught and now he’s back and looks great but it still happened
@@windytv7511 so you mentioned ONE war with Glover? You just made my point 😂 getting knocked out is not a war. My only point was he wasn’t in a lot of wars. End of
@@FIELDROX but you disagreed that his body can’t keep taking abuse. you said “what wars” lol I can tell you’re one of those people who can’t be wrong so whatever lol
Casuals acting like losing to Alex is a career breaker🤡. Jiri is still an elite LWH contender and I'm sure he will create an amazing win streak before he gets another shot.
I dont see anyone saying Jiri's career is over
For real Sean knocked out 1 year later champion it can happen again
Hope Jiri takes his striking a little more serious, some boxing training would do wonders for him. But honestly at this point I doubt he can unlearn the hands down style.
I think Jiri just needs 1 maximum 2 wins to get the title shot
@@mason9807 Yeah, boxing will do the trick in MMA.
Nothing but love for this guy
fruity
GAYEEEEEE
Good guy
Jiri is a true martial artist mentally. He means no one ill will. Even if punching their face in + he is respectful. Many fighters drop their opponent from a standing choke or step on them post-KO.
Just is not a good look. Jiri would want to hang out and ask what he did right or wrong in the fight with his opponent. It is just his passion and life.
Big fan of Jiri Prochazka. Happy to see this interview
Jiri got me back into the sport and training and opened my eyes to what I was missing. Good luck champ, much respect and thank you. And big thanks to Ariel for having him on in the offseason! 🤜🤛👊
Yay, Jiri... Back in the game. Lets go !! 💜
LHW is the most exciting division ATM. Pereira, Ankalaev, Jamal, Jirka Procházka, Rakic returned. Lot of skill, punching power and athleticism at the same time. All these guys can be champs. Walker is good too but is too crazy to win consistently.
Most exciting it’s ever been tbh. Hard to say who’s going to be champ end of the year but I’ll always back Jiri👊🏽
Jamal is out and rakic sucks
@@gojosensei6501Sukuna owns your boyfriend
Rakic is most complete fighter in division without lose@@gojosensei6501
@@Adam-ij8dw they lack the punching power
one punch man shirt 😂
He will become one punch man 😅
@@gutsglory3625 lol i could see it
Based
Jiri and his english got to the point where he is better at explaining things than in his native :D I am from Czech republic and he usually speaks in czech language into such deep philosophical level that you can't even understand him :D Anyway BJP!
Jiri is right he’s saying he shouldn’t put the ref in that position to call the fight that’s not how you win champion fights.
jep, he is very articulate with his limited vocabulary
Love jiri
Bro would still possibly have a belt if he didn’t let some random training partner break his shoulder, that was Jiri worst mistake
Jiri youre the best person and a best fighter what a mentality hope you can get back the title soon
Dude's elite.
Definitely but not the best
@@ramonbriones4487why not? He was beating Pereira until he got caught. I think he wins a rematch and I'd pick him against most other contenders
@@Suplex479 he hurt pereira against the cage in round 2 and won round one but idk if you can say he was winning considering his legs were compromised
@@ramonbriones4487he is tho. And he'll be champion again
Jiri is the man 💯💯
Alex defense on the ground was scary jiri couldn’t land a punch soooo annoying
He doesnt try to get up too much just defends rides it out very patient
@@rman229 ya man impressive af
So annoying how Ariel constantly talks to fighters who clearly haven't mastered English and can only speak basic English. Yet Ariel completely ignores and disrespects that, and constantly uses words that Jiri definitely can't understand. Even to the very end with his last question, asking him about "Embarking on his training camp" like Jiri is good to understand the word embark. I don't know if it's just plain ignorance on Ariel's part, or if it's just his ego. Maybe he's so concerned with how he's sounding while asking questions, that he's not willing to simplify his questions with more basic English to be respectful to the level of English his guest has. Either way, you'd expect a higher level of understanding and awareness from a guy who supposedly has a journalism degree and has talked like he takes his job very seriously.
Absolutely agree. I think Ariel knows exactly what he's doing, either to sound smarter to the audience or maybe to make the fighter look dumb.
It goes with the territory as he also pursues questions regarding issues the fighter obviously doesn't want to talk about
Let's go for that
Vítězství 💪🇨🇿
This guy is a great example. I love this guy
Doode im digging his opm shirt 👊
His English is really good now
still progressing, will be perfect very soon
biggest mistake was giving nonsense interview before fight
Cant wait for his next fight. Its gonna be a tough one
props to jiri for wearing college helwani on his tee and looking like a comic con bouncer.
seriously tho, jiri is popular. he doesn't need to come on this show as it seems to throw him off mentally
Early stoppage he was still movin
Can't wait to see him fight again.
One Puuuuuunchh
"Removing yourself from the fight" is the new "decrease me there"
Jiri 🙌🙌🙌
True warrior
all the best Jiri🤣🇨🇿
The problem with jiri is just his defense , he need to improve on that asap, not only to become a better fighter but to have a longer fighting career.
Bushido!
Jiri has a great mindset going into this.
Recognized and accepted his fault, blamed no one and going forward to carve out a new chapter with a uograded game plan.
Support!
🗡️
My man with one punch man 1️⃣👊
Jiri using the way of 1,000 words to describe not reapecting alex power and left hook
My idol
Jiri is the guy
Whose watching this to see the usual Jahmal Hill Dig? Or forcing Jiri to talk bad about Hill
Me lol
If he develops a takedown ground control top game, he'll run through the whole division. Nobody will be able to beat him ever again
💢💢💢⚜️🥋⚜️🥊
That’s cool he’s wearing a Alex Pereira t Shirt !!!!👀🎤👀😂😂😂😂😂
Still my favorite fighter 💯🔥
I hope Jiri wins
My fav UFC fighter...no shame in losing to Alex Pereira...Jiri shall rise again!
He's using Alex Poatan's t-shirt
Why is Rakic favored to win over Jiri? Rakic hasn't even fought for two years!
The winner between Jiry and Rakic will be the next champion.
Bro didn't even raise his guard.
Anyone else pick up on Jiri wearing a One Punch Man T-shirt? 😏😏😏
I wonder if Bisping dares to say Bullshido in front of Jiri 😅
I'm a big fan of Jiri, but I'm a bit bummed to hear him making the comments about mistakes in training camp as being the reason for the loss. I can't tell you how many fighters I've heard leading up to a fight saying they've had a great camp or their best camp ever and they've done everything right. Then they lose and change their mind and talk about how bad the camp was. Every now and then you'll hear fighters stand by camp being good, but they just didn't feel right on the night and didn't show up. But I guess it's somewhat natural for fighters to convince themselves of certain reasons they lost on the night. To be fair, it may be a good thing to keep them motivated and not discouraged if they can place the blame on something other than their skills.
fighters cannot really say "the camp was absolutely terrible" before a fight. Its not really a good strategy to give your opponent this kinda of information
@@Dzenda-qg4hr They can and they have. They may not say it in exactly those words, but some fighters will definitely say things like it was the hardest or most grueling camp they've ever had and just generally talk about how challenging it was. But another thing they can do if they didn't have a good camp but don't want to say it, is just don't say anything at all. You don't have to lie about it. And Jiri was bringing it up on his own without being asked. Talking about how great his camp was. There's a big difference between just not talking about it, or if a reporter asks about camp and you just give a generic "it's been good" and what Jiri did, in going out of his way to make it sound like he had a life altering camp and was rejuvenated and coming into the fight reborn as a new warrior. That's the only reason I'm holding him accountable.
Or in leading up to the fight, they don’t want to feel any negativity about their training, so they just act like their camp was great to
@@dogestranding5047 Read my previous reply and you'll understand why that doesn't make sense.
I feel he is not giving his 100%, He should be able to defeat easily Rakic but I dont know this Jiri, too much biking, too much hotels, and not enough time in the gym. I always respected him because he was a hard worker but nowadays I dont see him anymore.
Killing me
Early stoppage. Can't wait for another finish from him with a renewed win.
Champ
Rakic and Yan xiaonan as the 300 main event is positively. criminal
They aren't the main event
Early stoppage
I have a feeling jiri is not a good a qe though he was. He will have to step up major to get a win in top 5 now.
RAKIĆ IS THE KING
Of what?
@@PoatanCombatSportGOAT the future will tell you
@@mne1 Whatever you say.
He was beating up Alex but UFC had this in the bat already. That was an early stoppage. Still your huge fan Jiri.
Rakic gonna demolish Jiri, Mark my words.
We’ll see
SRBIJA STRONK
Jiri is a dead men walking. RAKIC GOAT
Them leg kicks got him that all .
his next opponent is in big trouble
Jiri gonna annihilate rakic.
Its over Jiri. Sorry but you will never have the title again. This sport is unforgiving.
He has to change his wreckless fight style.
BJP 💀
Jiri is definitely on the spectrum 😢
🤣🤣
No es ese el problema, sino que no sabe lo suficiente de inglés como para poder hacerse entender de la manera que cree conveniente
Guy needs a fkn translator. I feel like everything he tries to explain gets lost in translation. Idk how he thinks the fight was in his hands before the KO. The tide had def went Alex way. He fought as if he didn’t know Alex kicks legs. And was on his way if not already fighting almost one legged.
Most fighters are delusional anyways. Kind of have to be.
He was tagging Alex . But was way behind on the cards . Only way he was winning was submission or ko
You never need to prepare for anyone, nor need that fake fightsl camp, the answer is be ready all the time. Gaethje is the best.
gaethje looked like a kid fighting against khabib. he is and will never be the best lmao
What does Gaethje have to do with a LHW fighter? 🤣
he is not beating Alex, standing, and he is not beaging Ankalaev, he is sloppy asf
I think with different strategy, he is beating Alex, he was winning that fight until he got caught by that magic left, same thing happened to izzy and he came back and won the rematch
@@tomaspipek9703 Delusional.
He can definitely beat Ankalaev. He will never beat Alex.
@@PoatanCombatSportGOAT He was beating Alex until the left, because he went into fire, if he point fight like adesanya, he can beat Alex
@@tomaspipek9703His leg was messed up right away.
How come there was not a single question about upcoming fight against Rakic? Rakic is basically going to eat him alive..
I like jiri but he was not winning
Oh look it's the dude that fights once in a year...
I want this kid to get the belt again but he needs to stop punching trees and get in touch with someone with the expertise as Steven Seagal or a better team. Don't want him to have an ending like Tony who also trained like the kids at Shaolin temple.
Seagal? You kidding?
@@mason9807 Seagal has trained and mentored Anderson, Machida and the Emelianenko brothers amongst others. People forget that he is a grandmaster who was trained in Japan, so he knows judo, jiu jitsu, karate and other stuff amongst his Aikido...
He did stop, it wasnt good for connective tissue and he realized that.
He had a great run. Cant take that away from him, but hes done for.
After one loss? You're a strange guy
@@Suplex479 wait and see my man. Buckle up
@@ramonbriones4487but how is he done? He wasnt even out in the Pereira fight.
@@ventocz6476Magomed, Alex and Jamahal all three beat Jiri.
@@-l-3591 They didnt tho.
After all, Jiri felt Pereira would be an easier fight, so he fought ill, poor warrior. He and his Proud were both severily killed by K.O
Here we go again. After the Glover fight he sang the same song. The thing is , he won’t change. His style will allow him to beat 80% of the opponents, but with guys like Pereira and Rakic and even probably Blachovic he will have problems. What he lacks is not warrior spirit or motivation but some really basic skills. He leans forwards which is a suicide against high level strikers
I think the same thing and I get a feeling that he is finished now, simce he camt understand he was getting beaten from the start. he is unwilling to make any changes to his hands down, face-first style and he will pay for it probably.
jiri workout: 99 Pushups, 99 Sit Ups, 99 Squats and a 9,9 KM Run everyday. You dont want to loose your hair.
Jiri you are over confident you don't respect his kick and his power that why you lose ,remember you are not better than anybody every where until tấn you will become the champ again.
It's weak of Jiri to blame a unnamed mistake for his loss to Alex.
Pretty sure he’s referring to the Staph infection he mentioned that caused him to have to stop training 5 weeks before the fight. That’s pretty crazy im surprised he made it to the fight at all
The guy vacated his title willingly after sustaining one of the worst shoulder injuries in UFC history, only to come back and fight one of the most dangerous strikers to ever enter the octagon, but a random internet troll says he is weak so it must be true 🙄
early stoppage without question//you're wesk like ref
