[@Dzenda-qg4hr]

Jiri has 25KOs out of 29 wins, yet in all those breakdowns I only see people really talk about Pereiras KO punch power. Guys, wth, this dude put 25 opponents out cold on their feet, if u want to talk about KO power, Jiri is the dude

[@tvojemamajetak]

Yep 😂 also they say, that Alex needs to push Jiri forward, can't leave him space....yeah, let's see how well that goes against Jiri

[@thelobster7277]

I was thinking the same, so much underestimating of Jiri in a lot of these breakdowns I see. Jiri does not fight in a slow tit for tat kickboxing match style like Alex, he’s coming at you hard and fast from the start.

[@mikemosley2948]

Jiri did not knock out cold 25 fighters….. Those are KO’s and TKO’s just like every other fighters KO count includes. Yes he’s knocked guys cold but there are just as many TKO’s in there as straight KO knockouts. This is a 50/50 fight. So much Glazing on both sides. Pereira’s got 70 career combat fights 55 wins and 47 KO’s/TKO’s so twice the sample size. This is way TOO CLOSE to say one is Just much more than the other. Jiri has amazing exciting finishes and definitely a ton of one shot KO’s but if you watch Pereira’s KO highlights in kickboxing, the difference is he is one shot KOing w/ no follow up needed in 18 Oz KICKBOXING gloves, not 4 oz MMA gloves. Their power is comparable but in this fight all the other factors besides power will play a huge role in what happens. Totally love both these warriors, 2 favorite fighters and both sides are obviously very concerned. May the best amazing fighter win!

Dan Hardy, I know ur a fighter at heart. And you are an amazing brain when it comes to MMA. I wanna ask you to please not take a fight, no matter how much it’s burning inside of you. You don’t need it. The money for a win or the money for a loss doesn’t make good sense. You don’t need to prove anything to us or yourself. You are as badass as a fighter can be. Keep doing what ur doing. There’s nothing better than “The War Room”

[@fernandoish9194]

If you follow the Prochazka - Teixeira fight through the rounds, Jiri is too fast for Glover in the earlier rounds and punishes him hard on the feet with his weird angles, but his style also taxes quite a lot on cardio. So in the later rounds (4 and 5) is actually Glover the one that outlands Jiri by quite a lot, and himself (Glover) is the one that makes the mistake of taking the fight to the ground. If the Pereira fight goes the same way and Alex manages to stay safe in the earlier rounds, I can see his more technical striking and his pressure being effective against a tired Prochazka. Pereira knocked Adesanya down in the last round, which proves he manages his cardio very well. He could very well pressure Jiri against the cage and when he's trapped and his defence is down (which happened a lot in the 5th against Teixeira) Alex could land a couple of straight shots that open the path for his left hook.

[@TounInTheHole]

My thoughts exactly :) But Jiri also said his fight with Glover is how he does not want to fight in the future so I guess he will learn from this and manage his gas tank more effectively against Alex

[@dylanpilcheruniverse6515]

That’s a nice take

[@ch3rt.]

„against tired Prochazka”... :D I watch Prochazka for about 10 years now, since he started MMA after muay thai. His defense is often down because he loves it, he encourages opponents to hit him. But we are talking about a man, who gets sparring for many rounds with a brand new opponent for each round. Ok, that is kinda usual. However... he _holds his breath in between the rounds_ (!) just because he "wants to be in an uncomfortable position, push his limits, and learn to manage his breath in the perfect symbiosis with the universe".. or something like that. And that info is not by some weirdo, but from the head referee in a top European MMA organization who is close to Jiri. The guy's not like a character from a 90s karate movie, he is literally living it. I have a strong suspicion he will try to fight completely blinded one day.

[@lockeddownboxing9904]

I have a feeling that pereira will apply pressure and try to cut range but we remember the Reyes fight and I think Prohazka, as much as he is a striker he does the mma homeweork pretty well and he might be ready for being backed to the cage, clinch and takedown from there. Remember - Prohazka's wrestling and bjj will be way better than Pereira's, not as it was with Glover. Jiri's conditioning seems to be better and he keeps evolving a lot as a fighter. That's a very tricky and action packed match up, I really can't wait to see it!

[@helloneighbor915]

6 min in and your talking about alex a 2 weight glory kickboxing champ taking down jiri? Why would alex even need to resort to that why would alex and takedown even be said

[@rafaelmarques1773]

Why isn't most people commenting on the fact that Alex starts slow and Jiri at a 110% pace. This could be very well the main issue, IMHO, if Jiri starts as any other fight he has done recently, then it's either him knocking out Alex until on rds 1 or 2 or it's a win for Alex. It's all about surviving the chaos and I fear Alex is going to try to pace himself for 5 rounds which might not come.

[@Tasunka_Nightwolf]

But Alex is even more dangerous in the beginning of the Fight, because his family is fully replenished. He is usually very fast and well aware but he just uses it to stalk his opponent and look for their weaknesses. The most dangerous thing to do is to come out fast against Poatan that's why Jan went in with a Double leg early in the first round. He felt that quick reaction time.

Dan is hugely underestimating Jiri.. In fact most mma fans are. I find this odd, they just think a guy in MMA with his hands down means he will automatically get knocked out. MMA doesn't work that way, even fighters with their hands up get hit often through the guard. I mean, for christ's sake it's not boxing. Jiri is so chaotic and tough, i think it's a nightmare matchup for Alex. And the takedown nonsense.... sometimes Dan comes out with some stinkers

Do you think that Jiri developing as a fighter in Rizin (which has a different rule set, uses a ring...etc) plays any role in how he fights? This is only his fourth fight in the UFC, where as has had just as as many fights with 10 minute first rounds (I think he has had a total of 11 fights in Rizin).

[@tvojemamajetak]

Only the ten minutes round made him learn how to breathe correctly, that's why his cardio is so good. Also the change from cage is good for him, so nobody can put their heads out of the cage, when Jiri is going for them.. like one american wrestler Brandon Halsey, when they fought in Rizin.

[@sarcasticgenius8563]

I keep going back and forward. On one hand Jiri is the better martial artist and is awkward enough to give anybody problems, and he's guaranteed to finish pretty much any fight he wins. But on the other hand, Alex is just not a fighter you can get away with making too many mistakes against, and Jiri makes a lot of mistakes.

Alex's chin is gone from years of fighting and hard sparring. You can see it in the recent times he was dropped in both Izzy fights. Some of that weakness might have been due to his weight cut to 185, but we didn't see a faded Jan in any great danger at 205 and he opted to lay and pray.

[@mikemosley2948]

Yeah but Alex has only been KO’d cold one time in his whole career and he was drained to the gills and that fight was at elevation

[@sleepisthecousinofdeath7395]

That’s just false lmao

[@mikemosley2948]

Alex was not dropped in both Izzy ufc fights casual , You obviously didn’t even watch the fights. He was stunned the end of round 1 when 1 off 2 strikes hit him after the bell rang and he did not go down. He stumbled and caught himself then came back and won round 2 then broke Assbender’s legs and tko’d him. The one KO Assbender got, he showed up with a PED titty big as Ohio and Alex cut 42 lbs for that fight and he just caught Alex being too aggressive cuz he was fucking Izzy up and breaking his legs. Stop listening to fanboys and watch the actual fights.

I see this being an early finish for Alex. If jiri can eat his power he can win but he’s too hittable for Alex and his game. Leg kicks are there and Jiri relies on his chin too much for the power and precision Alex has. I’m a fan of both tho, intriguing match up if Jairo’s chin can hold up.

[@Xoliduz]

I definitely feel the same about just being eager to see how these two match up. I disagree on leg kicks, if i watched the Reyes fight as Pereiras team Jiri was countering calf kicks with his right cross exertly, its his best strike. Pereira has a habit of getting caught w right hands like in the first mma fight w izzy.

[@dude9038]

Exactly, Alex is open for straight counters, and Alex mainly throws hooks, thats why he's always patiently but assuredly tryingt o work his way into range with leg kicks, to get close enough in the pocket to land his preferred power punches, hooks. I think Jiri will finish Alex in the first round

[@andrewpackard5980]

I think you're wrong about Alex being the bigger more powerful guy here. Same height and reach, however I believe you will see Jirri as the bigger man. And powerful vs 185ers but he couldn't take out a completely winded 40 year old Jan. i kinda felt the striking was pretty even to tell you the truth, it's just that Jan looked so damn tired it was hard to give him the last 2 rounds. Also I'm not feeling much of a takedown game from Alex. Naah he's nowhere even close to Tex's abilities there. Also if Alex gets hurt, he's finished. Jiri is known to survive and if Alex follows him to the ground? Also Alex just doesn't have the same experience getting on top and doing damage. HOWEVER...... maybe Alex was a bit gun shy last fight because he was KOd cold fight previous. Jiri is bigger and more powerful. I'm predicting Jiri sleeps him with strikes from above.

[@JoeSmith-we3jw]

Jiri doesn't cut a lot of weight, Pereira against Jan was significantly heavier than Jiri vs Glover. They are quite equal in height and reach, but Pereira will for sure cut more weight and be heavier on fight night. He also has one punch KOd guys at light heavy weight in kickboxing, with big gloves on, so he definitely has power to knock out LHWs.

If Pereira learned anything from Glover, it's that Jiri can reverse and submit him on the ground. No way Pereira attempts a takedown. If Pereira ends up losing on the feet, he will just start to look for the big counter shot.

I think ppl forget the trajectory yiri was on He is not gonna stand there in front of Alex however the leg kicks are the key for him to take out yiri

[@micahbodha6129]

Fantastic fight. Alex's low output could be his downfall in this one. Best of luck to both warriors.

[@lourencorp-ly6tn]

hm luck? is it something you wish on before proving your skills? unless your oblivious to its dangers, i guess not. just my take on it

[@AngryThumb]

I think this is a 5round war. May the best man win.

To me standing or if Juri takes the fight to the ground, I believe he's going to do great either way but if he wants to make easy work for the win he has to take him down and keep there for the finish or to make him work to spend more energy than what he wants to and that will make it somewhat easier for Jiri in the standup and Jiri he fights very tricky which is fine but he can't expose himself too much in the standup because Pereira has shown many times in the past that he's great at taking advantage when the openings presents itself and a lot of time he gets the ko or the tko. This is going to tough match up for Pereira because Juri got great cardio and will to go with his overall ability.

I think Pereira will be able to get up if Jiri takes him down. Pereira way too strong and getting better on the ground.
