There’s 3 rules in MMA: Don’t talk about Chiesa’s Mom Don’t talk about Strickland’s Dad Don’t talk about Jiri’s Samurai credentials
My man
Fr hes a fuckin legend from rizin, the inaugural lhw champion
Hahahaha
Rakic really messed up by saying that. This dude takes that lifestyle to heart and lives by it, he is going to turn up for that one
He was talking trash about his country too. I think that’s the main reason why this is more personal for him
I'm putting $20 on 1st rd ko now
@@Newacc8765 he didn't, he just said that Jiri painting his face looks silly and that he will punch it off of him. Jiri misunderstood
A white European samurai who only adopted that persona after the latest mortal combat movie came out. Jiri is a clown and his fans are the circus.
Jiri is going to hurt him bad
"Alex said I'm a fake Samurai.. and I took that personally". --Jiri Prochazka
No Alek said it not Alex
watch the video lol wtf
It's kinda terrifying now his English is so much better you can understand how he's a scary level of stoked to be getting in the cage
I love what a G he is. “If Racic and I had a real problem, I go knock on his door.” How can anyone not love this man???
He’s a clown
That reporter actually took Lucas Tracy’s advice with the fake Samurai question 😂 well I’ll be damn
He seemed really hurt and disappointed by Rakics comments
He’ll be smiling soon and Rakic will be 😴😴😴
@@emana.9954 I hope so
He is a real good guy
He will know me in the cage 👀🔥 this fight is going to great
dud is soo intense ahaha
Watch Jiri bring an actual sword to the fight.
🤣😭
I still don't understand how is Jiri on the prelims. Top 3 most exciting fighters in the UFC
He is fighting Rakic I mean come on
That's exactly why he's on the prelims, they want viewers who are on the fence about buying the PPV to see a fighter so exciting they'll pay to see what's higher on the card
@@Nick-ps3mg BS. They would put Bo in that place if that was the case
@@crazypato3752 All of his hardcore fans from wrestling would watch his fight for free on the prelims and then change channels. Now they have to buy the PPV to watch Bo. Other new or casual fans aren't going to care any more about Bo than they do about Jiri, and Jiri is very much a known quantity in terms of delivering an exciting fight. It actually is a smart business move, because we're all whinging about it (including me), but I don't see anyone boycotting the card over it. It's only serving to draw new eyes to the PPV
Jiri prochazka is the LHW Tony Ferguson
🤣😭
In his prime right?
@@jacobsmith3526 of course foo
Jiri’s English has really improved over the last year. Props to him it’s not easy to learn another language
I watched the fight with Pereira ! several times and Jiri wasn't bad with 1 week camp... he wents too much to the spiritual world... in Rizin, he also went through these things, but he was a more aggressive fighter, he just has to find himself and work his way to the title, he has all the prerequisites,but as I listen to him, we can look forward to some real bombs :)
Jiri is the man his smile says it all. Energy on point
Jiri on Saturday: you fool this isn’t even my final form
Rakic is a boring point fighter. Jiri is the people's champ how could you not like this guy
His entitled fanbase whining about how he deserves to be champion because he's special
i like
@@solosolo8610Do you have eyes tho? If you love MMA you at the very least gotta respect how entertaining Jiri is in the cage
@@solosolo8610 Don't be bitter.
@@solosolo8610 Do you follow this sport? Have you seen any fight? Just curious cause pointing out or calling entitlement a personal preference about a fighter sounds more like a BLM or Pride parade fan rather than an MMA fan.
Vicious ko incoming poor rakic
Your comment aged well.
@@befree4876 thank you
Jiri is mad 😂😂😂😂
Yha🤣😭
Jiri we love u man
Јири мој, ниси свестан! 💪😎🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
There was pain behind his eyes when he found out what Rakic said. That means he really cares about that Samurai stuff.
Rakic Is misunderstanding and overlooking what Jiri has been talking about for over 2+ years. (And That's just with UFC media, he's been following the Bushido codex lifestyle for way before that before we know). Rakic injury went past his leg straight to his head.
Love this guy, win or lose.
That bit at the end cracked me up 😂
How he switched up last minute and slammed his hand on table " Im going for a win, that's all, that's all I'm gonna say!!!!" I know...his personality switched quick. Real mental case....I love it1!
All I heard was "yeah I'm a fake ass Samurai".
He's as real as it gets
Jiri talks as slow as Giannis when he shoots free throws. 😆
Show us how fast u speak czech
I really like Pereira but it was an early stoppage against Jiri. Jiri was really starting to turn it on and get the better of the exchanges until he got grazed and took those hammer fists/elbows. Goddard should've let it go a little longer considering it was a title fight. I think we'll see Jiri as LHW champ soon enough.
I agree with you. Marc Goddard has been known to stop fights prematurely.
@@mrspiff6955 Merciful Mark!
I love this guy
2:40 samurai 2:57 his eyes light up when he hears being called a fake samurai
Lets Go, Jiri 👊👊
That MacLife reporter is always instigating lol. Letting fighters know what they say is one thing but he’s messy about it lol
That dude's such a turd.
That samurai remark got jiri tight …He gon cry in the car
No it just surprised him. U dont expect someone be that fake as Rakič is...in UFC PI - JIRIII HELLO JIRIII....few moments later - Jiri is fake samurai...
Jiri is one of my favorites
It’s on!
12,38 😂 Јири, запалићемо ти шуму! Не сери, бре! 💪😎🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Anyone know what book rakic was referring to?
The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
Love the guy, like the attitude, and he's funny.
Everyone has a fight their dying to see at 300 and for me its anytime jiri is fighting
this guy is the realest. for real
A Caucasian man from Europe who thinks he’s a Japanese warrior from the 1600s. Super REAL.
@@Tramontino-jk2qk he never said that
@@AaronLaLux does he or does he not portray that he’s a samurai?
Jiri "For me its doesn't matter" Prochazka ⚡⚡
Lol fake samurai lol This fight is gonna be good
🤣😭
Jiri is ready!.Too get back..With Big W.....he must stay Calm....lol...Love this dude!.I wish everybody acted like this Guy,in Public!....Wow!.he was getting Mad!.at they end of Interview!..lol.Then Stayed calm again...
I don't understand how Jiri just came of a loss in a title fight and the UFC just puts him in the prelims while putting his last opponent to a headliner? That's lowkey disrespectful
Thats be cause they'd rather promote jobber ass blo nickal.thats a slap in the face to jiri imo.
Bro the card is stacked I'm not complaining second you know he's getting a bag
hes so intense ahaha , its somethign special wow
Dang, he’s English got a lot better, even from the perira fight and his interview with Ariel
Lets go Jiri
Really hope he wins!
“If i have real problem with Aleksander, i will go to his home, and i will knock to his door…”
Only trained for one week for Periera? Wtf that unprofessional
Dang he really does think he’s a samurai. That’s cringey
Ur here wasting ur time watching videos judging guys who made it in life calling them “cringey” wake up
@@robinprokop7806 are you also a samurai?
Why the instigating questions ? Just disrespectful
Well I mean they are going to fight already
Better than "How does it feel to be in Vegas?"
And rakic only brought it up during his interview because he was asked by an interviewer about his former comments
They do it for clicks
He still didnt wake up from last fight. All over the place, cant string 2 words together.
Sheesh, look at the mits on this fellow
He had better win since Rakic has forced him to take the higher moral road in this confrontation.
Jiri still concussed
Jiri go to Englis lesen's you are boring end not on the main event.. Dena is going tu kill him self, omg vtf is hi samuray??? Hahhaaa
You wouldn't say it to Jiri face
@@suavejode7476 💩💩💩
jiri def got a hint of the tism
Well he speaks at least two languages so that means someone with the "tism" is smarter than you clicky click boy
I had asked people from his country about his speech and they said that even when he speaks in his native tongue, he speaks in a way that they consider "lower intellect", so apparently it isn't just a language barrier issue lol!
That's interesting 🤔@@Mr-E.
@@Mr-E. he doesn't sound dumb in czech. To me it sounds more like he thinks about every question too deeply and sometimes he starts talking without really knowing how to explain something so everybody can understand. And sometimes he talks about difficult topics but lacks some more profound vocabulary so it sounds funny sometimes.
@@janzeman3777 Thanks for the reply janzeman, and for providing context, I'll make a note of that since I like to learn these types of perceptions about people in different cultures. I had asked the question genuinely in the past and I thought the Czech people who responded seemed fairly mature (not biased or malicious) against Jiri. They were saying that his way of speaking is considered "unintelligent" and lower social way of speaking. Perhaps the way you perceive him is more accurate and others associate how fast someone talks with intelligence or something like that.
Rakis is very sad man. He need talks shit about others fighters😢
Boring.... Alex is geting in to Jiri's hed...hahaha
You're a virgin
Jiri is passed off🤣😭💔🇨🇿
I think I peed a little.
🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Jiri Prochazka will WIN ! BJP !
💤
Jiri " boring " Prohaska
your boy got slept
What's this "one week training" crap. You're a fighter. Don't stop training lol You're in the UFC. Remember?
You dont know shit about conditioning for 5 rounds. You cannot maintain Peak condition all year long you need to plan systemstically ramping up before fight. Absolute nonsense to expect someone being at his fight shape in 1 or two weeks
They mean training specifically for one opponent. Also ever heard of a "camp"? Durrrrrrr
and you are not ....
