Media C’mon Jiri…

Jiri is who he is as a fighter. He is 32 and has almost 40 pro fights and has had a lot of success given his limitations as a fighter and his defense which basically consist of blocking punches with his face. I really hope he makes a lot of money and is set up for the future, he deserves it.

I would have liked to see him fight Poatan before he destroyed his shoulder. He's never fully recovered from that, and it probably limits him when grappling immensely. Oh well, part of the game.

The part when he gently taps a stick is so impressive. His next opponent better not be a stick I’m telling you
 
Just a jacked japanese white boy.
Deal with it TS.

But Jiri just loves martial arts. He likes being good at those traditional stuff, even if it won't matter much to his MMA skills.

And I think he doesn't even have a fight lined up, so let him have his fun.

You sissies say this shit but the guy was a champion with a 99% finish rare.
 
Ah, a little bit of Hyperbole I see? getting KTFO by every hard hitter he's fought hm? When in reality he's only been KO'd by Alex recently. Reyes, Ozdemir, Glover are all hard hitters.

Your mind seems to be narrow, Grasshopper. Perhaps being a good nail and enduring the enemies attacks to weaken their heart is a part of his strategy. It's a different type of defense; A flamboyant confidence in ones self belief, masked as arrogance to the opponent. Forces them to engage, for engaging when your opponent is defensively vulnerable, is what these fighters have been instinctively trained to do. Jiri anticipates this and masters navigating these circumstances he creates for him self via his "choice of defense". As long as Jiri can expect what they will do as he leaves himself open, he can capitalize on the attack.


He's a different type of fighter. It REALLY bugs me that everyone wants him to become some ATT wrestleboxer.
Problem is he's no prime Silva on his reflexes. He thinks he's prime Anderson, but he's trying to fight like prime Roy Nelson. Not shitting on the guy, almost everyone want him doing good. Especially if its another title run.
 
It's not a gimmick TS, give Jiri some fucking respect - do you really think he's been "pretending" to live like a nut job samurai monk for a decade plus because of marketability?

sure, that's what we all thought. then DDP came in with the high guard and just beat the fuck out of 2 of the top strikers at MW in Whittaker and Adesanya.

Part of that is DDP having a blockhead in the best sense of the word. Sean absolutely peppered his face with jabs that got through his guard, it's just that Sean is kinda feather fisted.

yeah but all Sean could hit him with was the jab. he couldn't do anything else. that in itself should be evidence of how good his defense is.

Come on, I’m joking, you’ re not believing that I actually think he’s weak or something ? He’s Jiri, he’s brutal, he’s also a bit peculiar which can be funny, but I always liked him.
