If he was flatline KO’d we wouldn’t see him for like 9 months or so, but I think he should be back relatively quick after this.
 
9 out of 10 for sure but I dunno man I believe he'd get that weird flashy 1 off fluke ko win and it would likely be the first time they fight.
Ankalaev's reflexes are gonna make it tough for him to get that. That faking hurt/Flying knee shit def didnt work.
 
Out of experience; it will go downhill from now on for Jiri.
NO U

Honestly,the mistake he made in this fight is very fixable. He was doing very well,and kinda lost focus and got too wild there. Before this,he def made Poatan fight much more on the back foot than anyone ever has.

It cost him a leg in the process. The fight wasn't going to get much better for Jiri unless Poatan massively slowed down, and even then we know he still has nuclear power in that left hook. The leg kicks added up really quickly and he was already knocked down from them once, I honestly think that was the route it was going, just a leg kick TKO.
Look at what happened to Izzy. Goddard saved him from being shadfaced on the canvas and he came back sooner and got some revenge. It might piss some people off but stoppages like that can save a career
Not can, they most certainly do. Each concussion is probably ~12 months shorter a career for a fighter overall.
 

In hindsight I also want to say this fight made me love and respect Jiri a little more. Even though I was pulling for Alex, Jiris a great dude and I want to see him around a bit more, hopefully this stoppage helps that.

And how fucking cool was that pre fight staredown ?

Did Jiri ever watch a Pereira fight??

ofc he did.
stand switching and bum-rushing it is how you throw Alex off, thats why Jiri won the first round.
he was wining on the feet until that low iq TDA
