Do u guys think Glover will survive the onslaught?

[Small Town Andrew]

I like Jiri and think he is a fantastic fighter but I am not convinced he will be able to stop Glover from doing what he has done to everyone lately. I think Glover will get him down and Glover is the last guy you want on top of you.

 

[mirko>anyone]

Yeah, the guy Jon Jones couldn't finish. Glover literally knocked his teeth out.

One of the few times I felt for a fighter in there. Glover beat Smith into a delirious and scary state. "My teeth are... falling out" or some shit like that. He was completely broken and shame on his team for letting him absorb more.

 

[mjfan23]

Old man strength is real

 

[Shaddows]

After Gus and poor sick Rumble broke his chin, can he survive another rampage assault, especially from the Viking?

I still think this guy is more hype than content.

WHo did he beat?
Oeszemir (who is on a 2-5 funk).
Reyes (on a 3 fight losing streak)...

That does not spell greatness, but luck.

Glover is a solid striker and a good grappler.
Jiri is on an easy road to the title, and have the opportunity to become the champion.... but it's not like he fought monsters in their prime to get there...

 

[heavyarms21]

And then what? Oh yeah, Santos tapped out...

I think people mistake him losing to Alex when Alex was near his prime and getting knocked out by the scariest version of Rumble as Glover having a weak chin. Glover is probably the most complete and resilient fighter in that Division even with how old he is.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Jiri better not be too wreck-less in engaging and wind up getting clinched up into a favorable Glover TD.

 

[wwkirk]

I literally don't think Glover can move fast enough to defend himself

Damn! How the hell did he become champ, then?

He is former champion of RIZIN which is unbeaten for almost 10 years.......with 96% finishing rate, is this just luck and as well?

 

[Tokoloko]

Fun fact is that Jiri and his team wanted Glover as their debut fight in UFC, but Glover refused to accept fight vs newcomer... So Jiri and his team definitely think that they have right plan to beat Glover, mainly with help from Cejudo and Fight Ready.

BTW just noticed that someone changed on sherdog Jiri's "style" to BJP(Bomby Jak Piča) which means Bombs As Fuck in translation .... love it

 

[CashMoney1991]

I keep picking against Glover and being proven wrong but I’m gonna do it again Jiri tko round 3

 

[jeff7b9]

He took the belt off another old man.

-->And Jon Jones vacated. <--

No disrespect to Glover. He is as loveable as they come and had earned everything he has gotten in the game. He can win this fight if he gets Jiri down (and MAYBE if he catches him in a wild exchange though I would consider that highly unlikely as Jiri is much more comfortable and adapted to thrive in chaos)

Do you believe that Glover can match Jiri in speed and athleticism?

I'd love to hear your case if you do.

if you think Rizin has the same level fighters as the UFC... then sure

 

[Lepo Lepo]

I’ve had a hard time picking for Glover since I lost big on the Rumble fight.

 

[rhynomight]

i think Glover's winning momentum is done. i don't think he will survive the first round

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I don't know, this fight could go either way. It's hard to tell how this fight will go to be honest. I can see both guys finding ways to win.

 

[BOTTICELLI]

I see Jiri KOing Glover but Glover is crafty and experienced tho

 

[Sasha]

I love Jiri but I'm rooting for Glover for this one.

He is complete but a little slow

 

[heavyarms21]

He is complete but a little slow

Speed will be Jiri's main advantage that and creative striking. Glover could very well set up a trap to get it to the ground though. This to me me is a live match -100 or +100 for either side is something you can make a case for.

And that was after getting the shit kicked out of him in the first rd
