Jiri whole heartedly embodies the Samurai code, fans love to see it and I’m sure UFC does.

[@superted2552]

Just remind me what the code is exactly ??.......exactly stfu smart a$$ .it sounded lovely though . A Nordic man claiming to live like a samurai .why not a Viking ?? realy weird .super cringe .

[@GapModel1]

Jiri vs Alex is the battle between discipline vs power. My money is on discipline but let's find out.

[@Fitkid7672]

@@GapModel1 Both guys have power TBH. Jiri is a little more well rounded. Alex is more technical on the feet.

[@theironforce3000]

Good man. Well spoken with solid messages . Absolutely burning for Saturday's match! A true Mortal Kombat awaits 🥷🗡️🔥🏹🗿

[@MrKingNica]

It should be crazy IMO

[@MickeyHuerta]

This really is some Mortal Kombat stuff

[@brodysievers5163]

It's amazing that Jiri is more articulate in his second language than the interviewers are in their first.

[@GapModel1]

Kung Lao vs Goro, discipline vs power. This time they weigh the same.

[@oktagoncirkusmma8280]

even when Jamahall did not mention Procházka, i Guess when jiri fight with Volkan..he claimed that he has a great standup and praised him also Ankalaev.., even though the media tries to make shit talk, Procházka never spoke badly about his opponents

[@michaelturley8222]

Ariel is the worst of all because he's butthurt Jamahal posted receipts Ariel was lying about Jamahal not pressing him, like he tried to claim.

[@oktagoncirkusmma8280]

@@michaelturley8222 I also didn't notice it (becase my English is not very good) until I saw Jamahal's video today, when someone doesn't speak English at a high level, he doesn't even realize what Ariel is saying ...

[@michaelturley8222]

Yeah, Ariel is good at stirring shit subtly, so it's not surprising it would be hard for someone to know in their second language. Even stupid English speakers don't seem to catch on to what a weasel the guy is. But if you're smart enough to see it, it's genuinely shocking he has any fans left, or fighters that will come on. He's scum.@@oktagoncirkusmma8280

[@humanedane]

Ilove his inner piece and how he genuinely with humane intent and respect , pauses, takes in the question, then responds with authenticity. Who else does that with such graceful communication? None of the UFC fools do this, including DW

[@superted2552]

the pause was so unauthentic ...he was clearly larping
