[@adequatequality]

Jiri is the most articulate foreign English speaker I've ever heard. He speaks with an accent obviously but he's careful in his choice of words

[@curtbernard755]

He is focused. Just ask him 🎉

[@skater3333ful]

It is interesting. He actually pronounces super well. Almost pronounces American. Just has foreign grammar lol

[@PozzaPizz]

You'll find most northern Europeans speak English at this level, with many other european countries being able to speak some degree of English

[@LeoJr_]

Francis engano?

[@Vynne96-jg7er]

​@@skater3333fulNot American. But European English

[@Abbas_Hasen]

Short notice, less time to prepare the magic ritual

he was wearing a christian cross and a horn with holy water in it, he will be fine

Jirii needs to bring his samurai spirit to this fight

Leonardo ninja turtle ?

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Gotta love jiri got guts

[@yhyhyh47]

Jiri is right. he needs to put on insane pressure at all times to beat alex

[@zootfools4522]

Gotta do what izzy did... stay back and let alex apply the pressure, if jiri applies the pressure, he gets dropped just like last time

[@yhyhyh47]

@@zootfools4522 bruh alex learned from that hes not gonna do that again, hes way more patience and calculated now

[@Abbas_Hasen]

One thing he said that the fight with Rakic was a big step towards preparing for this fight, He literally showed all the red flags of what not to do in this fight , except that he is an absolute underdog, we already knew that, he will keep pushing

[@yhyhyh47]

@@Abbas_Hasen jiri is dangerous when he pressures but i think alex will figure him out quick and knock him out

[@Puukkki]

He can’t expect him to be surprised by random useless movements he needs to be efficient, when he’s efficient and creative like the end of the Reyes fight it’s beautiful and it’s high pressure

[@khaledabdelaziz7828]

Jiri needs to take this fight to the ground, that’s prob the best way to beat Pereira at this point

[@Abbas_Hasen]

He showed that he cannot implement a heavy grappling game

[@NickyBobby-wx6ig]

@@Abbas_Hasen go watch his Rizin fights, he's actually extremely good on the ground, and can figure out any grappling situation.

[@clyntonmiranda5748]

His probably gonna be heavy taken down attempts tonight... just my feeling

[@ashburnpereira]

Jiri by whatever he wants, it’s his time.

[@jasonred3874]

Jiri "i'm going to show that" Prochaska

[@yhyhyh47]

lmfao he always says that

[@lakerspackers11]

Let’s go for that

[@dhalsimtate]

Jiri "Pure Performance" Prochazka

[@barrelrolldog]

Full powerr.

[@barrelrolldog]

Wictory. Lets go for that.

[@andreas4951]

I hope espn go from 720p to 8k soon. Its 2024😅 give us 1080 minimum 💯

[@sanskarisuri]

Jiri by murder, yeah you heard it right here. Come back to s**t on me if I'm wrong 😂

[@fatteebaddee]

Maybe, the last stylebender did in 2nd mma match...

[@aiooia]

Jiri was looking good til he got caught. I bet on alex, but I think if alex didn't have the power he does, jiri wins any way he wants.

[@themcmexchange2938]

ill put my ego on the line aswell.. Im expecting a 5 round war Alex didnt fight the best version jiri in that first fight, over a year out of action from injury similar situation with jahmal hill & rakic out for a year and fighting perira & jiri in their fights, this time we will see everything that pereira & jiri can do when a fighter gets two camps underneath them, thats when their at their best i see pereria winning again, one things for certain, we are in for a treat with a 3rd fight on the horizon for these 2 modern day warriors

[@truthoverlies6434]

I'm expecting a Jiri win, but Alex does have the equalizer. However Jiri was coming off a layoff and an injury in the first fight. Same with Hill. Alex has been getting lucky with his timing. Although I never ranked Hill too high since his win over Glover wasn't good. Glover aged so bad and looked like a shell of himself in that fight. Jiri was touching Alex in the first fight, and he can only improve with activity and confidence after being back for a while now. Alex is just Alex. He has that powerful hook and some decent leg kicks, but nothing will improve with him. I'm thinking Jiri by KO/TKO.

[@562XXXXX]

@@frankthetank819you sound like a mean ol Pereira hater… if Alex’s chin was soft, he wouldn’t be making the history he’s making rn

[@shikharanand1]

If you handcuff Jiri's hands, he won't be able to speak.

[@mickeymomighty5660]

It's no wonder those hands are constantly moving. A body in motion tends to maintain that state of motion, it's a law of physics.

[@kappanegra4400]

He would probably glitch😂

[@eru49no]

😂😂😂

[@curtbernard755]

He would take you out like a samurai. 🥷

[@user-je7sw3qs5m]

Underrated comment lol

[@derekblackthorne]

*I totally forgot that he won the title against Glover, and had to give it up because of his shoulder injury! I hope he wins. He deserves it, and we need a rubber match! This is the best match-up in the UFC right now!*

[@dennismurray4088]

It really wasn’t this time .. Alex is just unstoppable right now .. He moves to heavyweight , and will do this all again

[@bangtaomuaythaimma]

Prochazka AND NEW!!!

[@BEATZ47]

It's like watching the interview through a spy cam. ESPN "720P" MMA

[@biasaigon7155]

For someone who dont know : megan stands on a ladder in this interview

[@EloyGabriel_]

HE'S HERE. WITH CHANCE HE WILL SHOW THAT, PURE PERFORMANCE. NO MAGIC, THIS IS GOOD

[@mrspiff6955]

Jiri will finish the fight within 3 rounds. An early takedown will wear out Alex and Jiri can put it on him from the 2nd round.

[@justinlough9057]

Alex has special striking

[@dwells3536]

I hope you didn’t bet on this fight

[@partypopu]

These Fighters have to answer the same questions every interview… instead of answering the same questions they could be resting or hydrating. Media is an important part but they shouldn’t be wasting the fighter’s time!

[@eltongaspar1431]

I go with Alex by Magic TKO

[@Synthetic-lt4ed]

Jiri by pure performance

[@mahmoudghandour3981]

Rakic was a good warm up for him

[@Kevin-ll5vu]

Win or lose, that fight will be wild. Let's go Jiri

[@jamesreynolds4487]

I love how deep jiri is. It’s so entertaining

[@thatyoudliketoknow1628]

Both of them are great and fun to watch fight, I can't pick a favorite - may the best fighter on the night win.

[@alcottdevalte7440]

Jiri would have been undefeated if it wasn't for black magic, spells, a few left hooks and leg kicks...

[@gamebred6995]

Jiri 🔥

Jodi always entertain 😊

Great video Quality for One of the Biggest media 😂

Marc not so Godmann😂😂

Jiri my maaan🫡

[@orodecillion]

First fight was soon stoppage. If it was given 30 seconds more to see if jiri would nit defend then that be a fair loss.

Go in throw 2 maybe 3 an back out of boxing range more then that get him in trouble Alex dose good in long exchanges, or when he’s controlling the dance

Rooting for Alex but max respect to Jiri 🗿

[@Krezo200]

I love how he uses articles before other fighters names I wanna fight the alex pereira When i fought the alexander rakic

[@dhalsimtate]

yeah he always does that lmao

[@raphk9599]

I hope jiri wins and there is a rematch with them both at 100%

[@curtbernard755]

This is what preparation looks like. Gonna check the kicks guys. Connor style. lol

[@LuxRP]

Went well.

[@AliFrankTheTank]

he got a minute to show he can avoid leg kicks

[@SlobDooku]

Why can't the reporters just pronounce Alex name normally

[@ItsDHunt]

I believe people know how dangerous jiri is. But jiri knows he can be much more dangerous. He knows he needs to bring that pressure just like he said. I always knew he was special but he seems to know where he messes up. He can’t be all animated in there with Alex. He knows that now. We may see the best version of jiri. Alex earned my respect but I’ve always liked jiri I honestly want jiri to win in fashion. I can see him getting the job done

[@eduardomiranda7577]

very dangerous kekw
