I enjoyed his response, as I always do yours Blanqua!
I wish him all the best, take nothing away for that performance... There was a point fairly early in the fight Jiri was smiling akin to Amanda Nunes or something, sick stuff... And I said something along the lines of to my partner "this fight is going how he wants it, It's not easy to tell but I'm pretty confident he's saving his energy or something and is going to ramp up the gears when the time is right"... And then he did.
My only gripes at all are with the build up, questions asked which lead to bad answers, which lead to more of the same... twas marketing shite to 'make people have a reason to watch these two' whether it's the flag, the samurai shite, what ever, they pushed it, and they pushed it hard.... The fight was always gonna sell itself, i get why it was promoted that way, I just really hate it, I believe it made them both look silly and really felt like they were being put in unnatural(for them) situations for the sell of the fight.. Don't see them promoting say Alex Periera in that way.
He's self aware, does of a good job of joking it off... but I hate the questioning, fuckin leave him alone.
Great post man ^
Thx I had not seen that clip. He did answer it well... and did seem frustrated by it.
Any of that loudmouth, cunty, manufactured drama, even when just one side is pushing that stuff (both scenarios probably pushed for by UFC) used to bug me a lot too. I guess it is a formula that they see as working - selling tickets to less intelligent people, and creating soundbites for social media for the same purpose.
I would prefer something with a more respectful base, but doubt that is something we will see more of.
Genuine beef and hatred I have no issue with either tho. I guess that's key - 'genuine' / authentic. Has a much better feel.
You are right too - guy moves to the woods to be left alone, maybe leave him the fuck alone? lol.
