A weird thing about the Jiri fight

[marvinparsons]

Reminded me of Ferguson Pettis

 

[HHJ]

Not the smartest fighter, but damn sure one of the most determined.

Really its when he sticks to using his hands is when hes most effective. The flashy flying knees and stuff might help to close the distance but man when hes got his man hurt he should stick to layin hands on guys. Thats his bread and butter, dude has a long reach and deadly power

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Jiri is a kill or be killed fighter, not caring about points or defense. His incredible durability, power, and mental fortitude match up with his high-octane aggression and variety including off-angle strikes.

Likely, he will be losing most fights until he catches an opponent cleanly.

 

[HHJ]

Jiri wants to fight and not go to a decision. Mad respect for the entertainment.

He might be the most aggressive fighter ive ever seen. I never seen a dude throw a wild ass uppercut and instead of resetting dude just keeps attacking hahahaha

you gotta be a homicidal maniac to do some shit like that.

 

[Hairrow]

I wouldn’t say better fighter; rather one who stuck to his strengths and a conservative approach. It worked until it didn’t, so no, not a better fighter.

 

[MetaIIica]

Rakic could not take any of what Jiri was dishing out, and was unable to hurt Jiri even though he was throwing with full power. It was a little weird seeing Rakic wobble so quickly

It depends on how much damage he can inflict early.

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

He couldnt get Jiris respect while hitting him flush multiple times and the leg kicks. That probably took a toll on him mentally

Its also the pressure.

He may have never fought a guy coming for his head like that, and he couldnt deter him with his shots. That has to fuck with you mentally.

 

[CutStryker]

I wish Jiri would have recognized that Kimura that he could have finished Rakic with! Now that would have been the perfect finish with a Japanese submission to put a cherry on top with those Samurai comments. What do you people think?

I know what you mean.

Like you would think that Paulo Thiago SHOULD have beat Diego easy but Diego basically did the same shit to him. His aggression was too much for him.

 

[tatsuke]

Rakic looked like and was the better fighter. Jiri was a step behind and getting pieced up. More technical and calculated. Jiri tried to close that gap with chaos but was not working fully until round 2.

The weird thing is that Rakic was winning, in control and better than Jiri yet in round 2 it looked like Jiri finding his shot and inviting chaos was undeniable.

Tldr: Rakic was the better fighter but destined to lose.

Some guys are good fighters, and some guys are men you'd never want to face on the battlefield.

 

[nostradumbass]

Apparently all it took was switching stances to completely ruin the leg kick strategy.

if Jiri was in fuedal japan he would have stormed Osaka castle, behead the heir, establish the Prochazka Shogunate, Double hellbow all enemies into their coffins, unify Japan, and take a third of all wealth for himself and his family in perptuity.

Sorry, I’m not familiar with that fight

 

[HHJ]

Sorry, I’m not familiar with that fight

So at the time Paulo Thiago was a skilled prospect and Diego was on the downturn of his career. Diego Sanchez kept coming at him non stop, eating shots for breakfast and not being dettered and eventually Paulo gassed out from the constant forward movement and Diego swallowed him up.

Everyone should watch this fight. It was amazing. Diego is known for doing that to people. He almost beat Jake Ellenberger same way but ran out of time.

 

[HHJ]

The difference is jiri is actually a very skilled striker and Diego was just a brawler...


But Jiri forces a violent ugly fight with a very high risk style. To fight like that against powerful LHWs and have the success he's had is fucking insane.

 

[humdizzle]

its the pressure.

when someones in your face like that it throws off your breathing, you're tense, he's awkward so you don't know whats next, adrenaline flows....you hit them with your best shots and they dont care... its like fighting a terminator.

JIRI IS A BEAST
