Jiri, a true Samurai, and the King of Europe 🤴💪

[@alafacess2754]

King of the world 😊 comming.....

[@doposud]

Rakic is that you ?

[@askaf992]

How awesome he learned English this well

[@GeorgeSmoke]

Jiri sorry but you are abolutely a Samurai

[@jeremyaks69]

Jiri is without a doubt my favorite active fighter. What a badass

[@brettmitchell8014]

I agree. Poatan and Jiri are 2 badasses. 👊

[@prajwalbhujel6327]

Jiri was in great shape tonight.

[@sandman62100]

Honor in defeat. Honor is victory. Jiri is a true Samurai that embodies the Bushido spirit. He lives by the code and dies by the code. In a sport full of fake clout chasers like Sean Strickland, it's refreshing to see truly Honorable men like Jiri shine.❤

[@mr.brenman2132]

Strickland won the belt off of one of the pound for pound best. How is he a clout chaser?

[@lebraa]

Shaun is an islamophobic.

[@mohnjarx7801]

​@@mr.brenman2132 Sean is an attention whore. He's tough but definitely a try hard

[@patriciadavis1393]

​@mr.brenman2132 he always looks like a Clown when he steps in the ring nobody saying he's not talented but he's not one of my favorite Fighters

[@patriciadavis1393]

I just adore this man in and out of the Octagon he is maybe not a samurai because how many real samurais are there these days😅😅😅 but he's the closest thing we got and I just love him he's so calm and focused I just love this man😊😊😊😊

[@TomPro4]

focus on Jiri's shadow :)

teletubbies

[@naturalunnatural]

I will never admit Jiri needs better defence, I want to see him get better at attacking

[@Onlybadtakes2589]

He had a lot of head movement, rolled with a lot of those shots

[@kevindimauro3937]

Just needs to check leg kicks

[@andrewwest3556]

He hit his targets

[@bodyzoasispersonaltraining9186]

Jajaja tito all the way 😊

[@Tommyrah]

As a Czech, this is my champion! He is gonna become the best in the world!

[@vektor346]

Notice how he doesn’t bang on about Money . Keep rockin Jiri

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

next!! Prochazka 🇨🇿 vs 🇺🇲 Hill

[@themastermind5638]

Damn, you wanna see Hill get knocked out again???

[@cooperwardell8558]

Jiri is a savage. The line was +100 for Jiri against a guy who hadn’t fought in 2 years with a blown out ACL. Are you kidding. Easy money

[@foxycleopatra6426]

JIRI GOAT

[@sheronhunt5192]

HE is spiritual better than smack talk! Im glad he won.❤

[@titanten7582]

So majestic so funny so witty my acoustic king

[@antalwahlers3574]

The surge towards the knockdown was just awesome to watch. What a guy.

[@A1v5p9]

Витежстви!!!!🇨🇿

[@nickm5807]

This guy is my hero I think he has the ability to do great things in the UFC.

[@ericpena615]

And spiritual too.👏👏 He had went outside the arena the night before to do a visualizing meditation. Such a brilliant warrior.

[@patriciadavis1393]

I am so glad he won I have loved Mortal Kombat for so long and he is a true samurai warrior😊😊😊 in a sport of fakes he is a real person😊😊😊😊

[@mattd6200]

This was fight of the night.

[@petco605]

I felt one :D... best line of the interview

[@Nappyal]

Exercise…. Fuck I mean experience…. He’s hilarious

[@branislavlelicanin9513]

Both are great fighters , i am fan of Rakic but big respect to Jiri, he dragged Rakic into an exchange he didn't need, Rakic ​​completely forgot about tactics, his heart led him into lose.There is no shame in defeat, it is the top of the world, Rakic ​​even showed dominance during the first round, but Jiri was much more patient and waited for his 5 minutes.

[@duceleaf2376]

Hes a samurai for sure🇨🇿⚔️🔥⚡

[@swaaggy]

“too much for, not power” 😮‍💨🔥

[@Austyx1]

I love that he gives English his best shot, a lot of guys don't. But he's living by the book of 5 rings so it makes sense that he would become to try more well rounded.

[@bobspijkermans8653]

🙏🏻

[@jasonborotra4208]

Jiri is right, he isn't a samurai and cannot be. That's not an insult, it's just the truth. However, his explanation was great, he used it for inspiration and that really shows. Jiri was an animal in that fight, if he fights Alex again he can't get him that much or he will lose again.

[@jordanzizzo3320]

Love this guy

[@waynekirby3781]

English has come such a long way

[@danapost9954]

Props to these fighters for leaning English. Pleasing the masses 🙏.

[@heavylegion9810]

Do Pereria VS Ankaelev, then Jiri gets the winner. OR, Jir and Ankaelev for the Interim LH Belt while Alex has a fight at Heavyweight. Sounds like a good setup to me either way. Or just rematch Jiri and Alex after Jiri recovers from those Calf kicks

[@nickschiller1080]

Jiri vs Alex rematch needed! Both are at the top or Jan vs Jiri to face Alex and Rakic vs Hill. Jiri one of the most unique mixed martial artists ever! Jiri vs Magomed maybe then vs Alex but Magomed would give Alex a good fight!

[@alexchaparro5657]

Thanks jiri🎉😂❤😢😮😅

[@titanten7582]

Goat

[@-Denisa-]

Prochazka vs Hill next 🥶🥶

[@dddebolt]

jiri is the man.

[@Refractory......]

Wow, listening to him feels spiritual ✨

[@DimitrijeM84]

Gutted for Rakić but respect to Jiri

[@Onlybadtakes2589]

When talking shit goes wrong

[@DimitrijeM84]

@@Onlybadtakes2589 lowkey but i don’t think it was malicious

[@nickschiller1080]

Rakic vs Hill now. Jiri vs Magomed or Jiri vs Alex or Jori vs Jan.

[@DimitrijeM84]

@@nickschiller1080 Jiri vs Jan makes sense good matchup, Rakić should face winner of Walker vs Volkan imo, he should have at least 1 win first before he faces a top 5 again

[@nickschiller1080]

@DimitrijeM84 He's tough dude! That would be a good opponent but he can hang with top 5 too!

[@6minutespotlightwrestling]

Nice performance

[@theironforce3000]

Bushido!! Very very glad he got the W. This inches him closer back to the champion's throne. The highlight here that we're all overlooking - Goddard was not the ref ! Fantastic 👏

[@TheGerogero]

Jiri agreed with the Pereira stoppage... and Goddard also refereed the Texeira fight.

[@trendgil]

parreira really making pros scared like lil girls xD xD

[@Psyche_MMA]

🤍

[@youz1faka606]

If he accepts to fight in brazil in 3 weeks it might happen

[@derrickfinney8081]

Whats he babbling about.😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheGerogero]

"Normal sportsman" Rakic must be more your speed.

[@bodyzoasispersonaltraining9186]

Hes not getting s second chance.

[@puljano]

[@brandoncalderon2095]

Lmao

[@brettmitchell8014]

Bushido

[@KaedesOdyssey]

Calling to fight a dude who slept you (who's champ) after beating someone not in title contention aint it. Getting kinda tired of dudes getting the belt when the division is unstable, never defending losing the belt and acting like they are next in line all the time. Jiri did fuck all to Pereira, not point running that back anytime soon

[@akihiro8023]

He didn’t slept him haha 😂

[@Jzizler]

he did a lot more then jamahal. Plus he actually had alex hurt, but got over zealous with his approach

[@patrikburden407]

He had Alex hurt in the fight. Maybe not as bad as Izzy had Alex hurt in their two fights, but he was winning that fight.

[@naturalunnatural]

doesn't have to happen now, Alex can try HW and Jiri can fight Ankalaev

[@P8524]

Alex is great no question about that but most of the community didnt agree with referee who stops the fight. Lets give these two awesome fighters rematch.

[@IshootNiBust]

Is he even human where did this man came from Jesus I never seen some one embodied the spirit of a samurai

[@JihadMeAtHelllo]

Sean O'Malleys jacket is also in an open relationship I see. That thing gets around.
