Jiri is like Keith Jardine

[TimeToTrain]

He’s like The Dean of Mean with that unorthodox style blended with a mix of Tony Ferguson, hands down like Chuck Liddell. Only difference is that he has KO power once those unorthodox strikes land.

Except he's good and doesn't have a glass jaw

No, it did not.

He also has incredible head movement for a LHW. His timing is incredible, the only thing similar to Jardine or cucuy, is his unpredictability.

Keith isn't nearly as good as Jiri.

He and Ferguson both have a great chin...which was Jardine's main weakness. TS definitely could've done a better job on this. While his head movement is good, he still gets hit a lot due to keeping his hands low. The only guys who can get away with keeping hands low are karate-based like Wonderboy and prime Machida---but their styles (footwork, stance, distance) are totally different than Jiri's kamikaze approach.

It's a fun style but won't age well. Overall, the high output, KO power, strong chin, eat-a-punch-to-deliver-a-punch style reminds me most of Gaethje before he became more technical...though their style of attacking is quite different. Gaethje realized his career would be very short if he didn't get more technical and defensive. It also reminds me a little of old Chute Box brawling MT...a style that worked well for Shogun and Wand for a while but both peaked before age 30.

He's an exciting fighter but it's only a matter of time before he gets Houston'd. I could see him winning the title but not having a long reign as champion.

not at all..just sharing my observations.

Well, he sure got hit a lot with that left counter power shot. He really needs to work on that hole in his game.

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Yay another "Jiri is like" thread

 

[roman510]

I'm more concerned that nobody is talking about how he got put on queer street and if it wasn't for that unfortunate guillotine in which he recovered, he would have probably been pounded to the next realm

I like his style but wish he didn't get hit as much.

 

[jk7707]

He is. And he's going to get flatlined by Jan fighting with his hands down like he did against Reyes.

 

[D'z]

Um, Chuck Liddell had KO power.

 

[Brolypr]

hes nothing like jardine...not all vikings look alike...
racist!....

Wouldn’t call his head movement good, He was getting hit clean throughout the fight
