Izzy is a hall of famer that Alex obviously respects per his own words in this interview, and Israel himself gave Alex a glowing compliment in his last KZbin video. Sounds like you’re here for fake drama instead of watching two legends fight and that’s pretty gay.

Man, those calf kicks were MONEY. Only 4 kicks in and Jiri already looked compromised

[@Aladin40chor]

Yea man those kicks are so brutal even before the fight he gave dc a taste of it and i have seen multiple times his training lots of kicking he does.

[@draco2xx]

jiri shooting for takedowns was a dissapointment, i thought he was gonna keep the fight on the feet the whole time its another reason why he got tko'd so early

[@merchant69420]

Jiri is very heavy on his lead makes sense.

Yes u can he didnt win shit. And I'm a fan of him. Jiri looked better throughout. I smell corruption

[@AT-hs9po]

Jiri looked off after the few leg kicks and he wasn’t himself. He performed way worse due to the ring rust from shoulder injury.

[@robertoromero8351]

[@theCivilizedWorm]

@@D9WxMarc Goddard made the right call. Jiri said in his post fight interview that he was out cold Why make excuses? Jiri fought a great fight but after round 1 he had no chance. His legs got compromised by those leg kicks. Give Alex his due

@caderzz I brought them with credit when it was at 785. Then jones pulling out caused a big decrease. I had already made a payment on the credit aswell and didn't wanna fuck up my credit score so I just left as is. But they were 370ish about 3 days before the fight to happen.

MSG Pereira is a new mythical fighter

[@Luiz-vx7hl]

the real translation Alex: I'm never one to call anyone out, but I wanted this fight to be interesting for me and for the public. It's a person who somehow encouraged me when I was in a bar drinking, because he said in a video that I would stay in a bar. This same guy said recently that he won't be back until 2027, and the way he rescued me I want to rescue this guy, because he's a talent and he can't stand still for this long

[@bl4ck0fg4mes3]

YES

[@isaacharton7851]

This is why they should hire translators and interpreters with degrees in translating, just because someone is a native speaker it doesn't make him a translator, translating is a whole science and then a whole art and it is ultra underrated. But failures like these are why we should start appreciating it a ton more.

[@harrypereira5912]

Gracias por la traducción! Desde Chile 🇧🇷👍🇨🇱.

[@davidflores3543]

Correct Translation: "Well... I'm not a guy who calls people out but I think there's a fight which would be interesting for me and I'm pretty sure it's going to be interesting for everybody, it's a person which in some way motivated me when I was inside of a bar drinking and in a video he said that I was gonna be just a guy at the bar. But he rescued me. And this guy also said recently that he was going to come back only in 2027 and in the same way that he rescued me I wanna rescue this guy because he is such a talent and can't be all this time without fighting, It's Adesanya."" ... "With all due respect, I'm not going to do like Adesanya did, made me do 3 fights before fighting him about the title. He can come right now and we'll be disputing this belt. I know it's kind of strange the champion calling somebody out, but I still got a few things to settle." ... "Adesanya, come to daddy" 🗿
