Jiri vs. Vadim Nemkov

[kingghidrah]

Anyone who hasn't seen this fight should watch it -- 10 minutes of great back and forth MMA, solid standup, and grappling that even the Phoenix crowd wouldn't boo. This was no one-sided beatdown even though it ended in a TKO officially.

Fight happened in Rizin almost 6 years ago when both were around 23 years old. It was Jiri's 19th fight but only Nemkov's 6th.

Of course, Nemkov is now Bellator Light Heavyweight champ and it's just a matter of time before Jiri is crowned the same in the UFC (according to Sherdog)

Jiri is foreal

 

[Memeojima]

Jiri is teh future

 

[KID Yamamoto]

Both have improved a ton since this fight which is honestly shocking. Hopefully if Nemkov wins the Bellator LHW tournament he can move to the UFC.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

a very tough fight for both of them

 

[Sweater of AV]

Rizin producing the best fighters in the world. Rizin bless.

Best organization and events by a fair margin.

 

[tehMoose]

Nemkov had shitty gas tank back then but he fixed that hole. Jiri is still as hittable as ever

If they fight again my money is on Nemkov, he improved way more than Jiri

 

[Applehead]

Damn. Nemkov looks so different here. He was beyond exhausted. He's a machine now, though. Jiri is so wild and unpredictable that he has a chance against anyone. Nemkov is more accustomed to fighters who are a little more set in their technique and movement. Jiri just does and throws whatever the hell pops up into his head lmao. Guys like that are always dangerous to fight against.

Jiri would destroy B-League Nemkov in a rematch.

 

[Royce's Gi]

Jiri Procrastinachka would Jenspulverize Nemkov!​

 

[tehMoose]

Jiri would destroy B-League Nemkov in a rematch.

Like he destroyed B-League washed up King Mo?

He finished Mo in their rematch, moron. Try again.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Oh for fucks sake here we go again

Nemkov dominated Jiri in the fight. Ragdolled him with ease. Jiri only "won", because Nemkov was too green and was inefficient with his energy in a tournament format he wasn't used to. Current mature Nemkov murks Jiri. Sneedthe.

 

[Mammothman]

I'm pretty confident Blacowicz dominate them both

 

[tehMoose]

He finished Mo in their rematch, moron. Try again.

That was Mo without any functional knees left, you casual kid from 2006

Bader finished that version of Mo in 15 seconds lmao
Andrew Kapel finished that version of Mo in 1 minute lmao

Jiri needed 3 rounds to finish that version of Mo, sad. He got destroyed by washed up Mo while he could still walk properly LMAO
