Jiri coaches should have not let him continue after he was basically KO'd at the end of round 1 and also getting tooled before that

[Fedora Millionankles]

Yeah, better to have him murder head kick KO'd 10 seconds into the next round.

Rationally we know he shouldn't have been sent back out, but that just isn't how MMA works.

In any event, I don't know how many times we need to see Poatan smash Jiri to the ground to comfortably say he isn't able to take his hits and doesn't belong in there with him.

Rationally, he wasn’t KO’d and it’s the ref’s job to determine if a fight should be stopped. Jiri may have been knocked down, but the is no logical argument for stopping the fight because of it.

 

[Prick_Flair]

I don't want to see jiri get damaged unnecessarily but people cried enough about Goddard stopping the fight . It would have been unbearable if his corner didn't let him go back out

Yeah this thread is some captain hindsight shit. No one complained when Izzy dropped Whittaker hard at the end of round 1 and finished him a round after. Wtf is this?

 

[MillingMeSoftly]

He got caught twice with no defense
Like his hands weren't even up that was crazy

 

[HP_Nut]

Jiri is a guy whom many times in his career he's looked down & out but somehow comes back to win. He is a disciple of the JBG. He got knocked down, got saved by the bell but his corner is thinking, maybe this bell saved us, maybe he gets 90 sec recovery & Alex gets overconfident & gets caught. They know if he loses to Alex he's never getting another shot at Alex, so let's take our chances. I thought Izzy was in huge trouble, about to get finished by Alex then bam, Izzy caught him in their 2nd MMA bout

 

[Xanzito]

itll be enough for him to get Poatan

50 - 45

Only way for Poatan to be an elite grappler is if Izzy goes to Dagestan. Then Alex would breathe wrestling 24/7 to beat him.

Poatan would just pin Sadulaev if that happened

 

[IronGolem007]

It was good to see Jiri get beaten down.

Only by this way is there no salt or controversy.

The last fight was stopped prematurely.
If the ref stopped the fight at the end of the first round, on this last fight, it will be the same shit all over again.

Jiri deserved the intense beating, and utter soul-taking ass-whipping he received.
Jiri is humbled, and defeated.

There is no more controversy.

This is the whole purpose of a fukking fight to begin with, to see who bodies whom.

Jiri was bodied.
No one needs to see this fukked up fight again, as Jiri was hopelessly-outclassed

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

The last fight was stopped prematurely and there was controversy. We needed to see one of these guys legitimately finished to move on. Jiri was sent to hell. One way ticket. It's over.

Have you watched Jiri fight before? That's not at all unusual for him.

 

[Elvis.]

I definitely would have advised him to stay the fuck away from him for the first few minutes of round 2 , but that’s really easy to say from my couch

 

[vivi]

That’s lame. Of course he should have continued if he was able to get up for the bell and walk back to his corner.

 

[maximus__]

Besides the fact that he was basically KO'd at the end of the round, he was also tooled and outclassed before that and had nothing for Pereira. What's the point of shortening your career when you clearly have no chance of winning?

Pereira had a similar moment with Izzy and then went on to beat him later.

Jiri has fought his entire career like that. The guy was flash ko'd vs Reyes via an upkick and came back fine.

 

[jeff7b9]

He got knocked down. He seemed to recover from it pretty well. Then he got kicked in the head. Shit happens.

This wasn't a Cerrone vs. Masvidal situation where he didn't look like he knew where he was and just sat there on the stool with a thousand yard stare. Rewatch that one to see a fight that should've been stopped by the corner.

Good call.




I'm surprised Herb Dean let it go when Cowboy stood up looking like Captain Jack Sparrow

 

[FrankNStein]

In the first fight, people said it was stopped too early. Now, in the 2nd fight, it should've been stopped between rounds

 

[HHJ]

nah he never got dropped before at least not in the UFC

Nevermind

go earn that last yellow lol

 

[pick999]

He has too much a ego to stop and rather get brain damage

 

[MillingMeSoftly]

It was a good stoppage this time
Last time it was not a good stoppage

Totally. He should have thrown in the towel and maybe with a nice win streak he can achieve another title shot in a year or two..... Easy!
