Jiri Interview: Opinions of what cancer patient Ashley said responding to the question starting at 2:08?

[Leonard Haid]

I was disappointed that she didn't support Jiri as he has supported her. Anyone have a positive take on it?

 

[loisestrad]

Yeah, cancer patients need to be more supportive of the people who are using them for media stunts.

How dare they speak their mind and say controversial shit such as "anything can happen in a fight".

 

[usernamee]

Lol yeah that was a bit weird

Guy is a day away from heading into a fist fight.. just say you believe in Jiri or something

Her comment kinda felt like she was talking about a video game and whatever happens in the UFC is just on the telly you know

Yeah, Jiri sure is using and abusing this lady isn't he.... Jiri is as pure as they come, what you said isn't in line with anything Jiri has ever said or done.

I guess she was using Jiri first drawing attention to her cancer by using his name and hair? How's fighting the cancer gonna turn out? Oh u never know with cancer, could be 50/50

Agree that what she said is the truth, but these fighters are going into battle. It's dangerous and scary. While they are as brave as anyone can be, they still need support, they still cherish it. She could've said something truthful AND supportive at the same time, especially after all the support that Jiri has given her (see third paragraph).

But yeah...she's a cancer patient after all. Cut her more slack than I'm apparently cutting Jiri. It's MORE dangerous and scary for her. She's so brave too. She's in a constant battle. Wake-up call for me. Thanks. So she may not have chosen the best words....Jiri's a big boy. He can handle it.

As for Jiri using her, she is a Jiri superfan. Jiri flew her out to LA, got her tickets, donated a shitload of money to her charity, and she was absolutely thrilled by all of HIS support. To suggest that it's a media stunt is quite cynical, and shows that you haven't been following Jiri's career. He's not like that at all.

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

shes got the same thing will smith mom has? or was that his wife?

 

[azerty]

seems like jiri said he will try win it fast, by knock out in the first or the 2nd and when ask her prediction she's talking about how and when jiri will win, obviously, if she's a jiri's fan and he flew her out, she think he will win, plus not everybody is used to the cameras and being interviewed thus giving a super generic answer because you're uncomfortable with the situation

 

[HHJ]

Miserable cynical fucks who have low self esteem love to shit in everyone's good time cereal with their backwards ass conspiracy theories.

 

[Lycandroid]

pathetic takes from you guys, did your periods all link up or something ?

 

[CatchtheseHands]

I mean sure she could have said Jiri wins by KO but I don't really think there's anything wrong with her answer. It's neutral IMO and she's not exactly wrong. You sometimes think these fights will go one way and it goes the complete other way.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

A cancer patient who's just being realistic. This much ado about nothing.

 

[that Indian]

Jesus Christo the amount of hand-wringing here.

No mature person should take offense to her realism. And yes, having cancer sharpens the mind to hard realism.

 

[ultra321]

where is his customary hair do..... people are gonna feel ripped off is he doesn't have his hair do.....
I can't believe there aren't 50 threads (well 10 with the state the site is in) on sherdog from "shookologist's" talkin how "Its over", "Look at the hair line", "Opening the prelims and then GFL are next" for Jiri....

Kidding aside I wish him luck, victory, and I hope she beats cancer.... It's nice what he did...

 

[CasualBot]

TLDW:
She said mma is unpredictable.

Get over it.

 

[PrideNverDies]

She's right. This is a pick em fight. First to land wins type match

 

[Neck&Neck]

I’ve been fighting cancer longer than most of these fighters today have been in the UFC for
Dana 50 geeeeeez baybaaaay !
They call me the Arlovski of cancer patients, Joe

Where’s Maddux !?
