Jiri looks so good while looking like he's so bad. I don't get it but I've loved him for many years

He's the right kind of awkward, someone who has learned the basics and developed his own style. There's also the wrong kind of awkward e.g. Jamahal Hill. Both can be effective while risky but for different reasons.

Land something, back up your opponent, get inside with wild flying knee that isn't close, follow up with bombs that do land. The Jiri Method.

Contrast of faces is fantastic, Rakic completely deformed of course but Jiri doesn't look like he's punching, he looks like he's randomly shopping or chilling.

It's a great shot. Now imagine if it were in a ring and you didn't see the dirty ass cage. It would be iconic.

What a photo

it's a nice pic, but technically from a photo editor's perspective it's called "OOF".
OOF = Out Of Focus (principal subject). Focus plane should be one of the fighter's faces (eyes ideally), and big enough aperture to have a shallow depth-of-field to soften the fence somewhat. Tricky with cageside photography -- you need to get as close to the fence as possible and obviously that area is restricted.
Shot was probably at f1.4 or f2, something like that.

But...that's me being a bit technical as a working photog. Love Jiri and the way he fights and lives his life, super happy with his victory!

Rakic looking like Tim Silvia for just a fraction of a second.

Great capture. The fight looked rough for Jiri in the beginning, those leg kicks were brutal. But he came back and let go! great finish.

We got Face the Pain and I think the theme song of the show was by Breaking Benjamin.
