Has Jiri become underrated?

He's literally only lost to one fighter in his UFC career, but he's sort of being viewed as a has been now. Very boxing fan reaction to him.

you gotta remember people on this website (Which is a reflection of the MMA fanbase at large) are mostly retarded.

They will suck a fighter off one minute, then they are yesterdays trash the next.

Take usman for example, No one is calling him an all time great anymore, no more comparisons to GSP or how easy he'd win that fight.... what happened?

Jiri is an easy target because he's unorthodox. People think if he went to ATT he'd be come a better fighter, or he'd slowly become some LHW Porier. Meanwhile, all of his success has come because of how different he is from others
 
I think once that style of fighter gets knocked out people start to look at other fights that they win and see the problem with the style...

Jiri gets rocked in every fight it seems like...

I still think he's must watch mma though..
 
if i was a completely devoted fan, he would be giving me a heart attack every match. :) i will always look forward to seeing him fight, for as long as he is able, or as long as he wants to do it. he sure as heck is fun to watch.
 
He has looked small and frail upon his return and and showed no real adaptability and learning in the rematch against AP. It's reasonable to be cautious that he's been figured out.
 
After I saw him basically stay knocked out for 10 minutes after the fight, I knew he was finished.

He's overrated.

Dumb as hell fighter.

But tough and fun offense.

I mean, literally only one guy has beaten him and he's finished everyone else. Pereira didn't figure him out, he just hit him harder than anyone else did.

Also this.
 
He's a glass cannon and not very bright. Trains a lot of stupid shit all the time. 39% defense that's a lot worse than Tony Ferguson. Probably the worst in all divisions top 5, maybe top 15
He's a 50:50 fight in the top 5 against everybody with power.
Still a very good figther and ranked #2

Nearly lost a few times to Glover due to being stupid
Nearly lost to Rakic

Once his chin is more gone, he will be knocked out a few times in a row.
 
I think people realize while Poatan is champ Jiri likely won’t touch gold, therefore less stakes and less interesting matchups.

I’ll watch Jiri perform regardless, he’s truly a savage that seems to thrive in the chaos, especially after getting tagged.

Pereira is just all wrong for him. Luckily for him there's not another Pereira. If Jiri chin isn't ruined i reckon he's probably the second best LHW right now.
