Jiri is a LHW version of prime Tony

[Istryker]

Tell me I'm wrong and lying, only difference is Tonys BJJ was level higher and Jiri has the better striking.


They have the same mindset

 

[azerty]

you're wrong and lying

 

[Reach4theSky]

I see it..

 

[Lee Danger]

both weird people for sure.
Jiri used to be an hooligan and, trust me, those people are demented for the most part.

 

[blaseblase]

They both have terrible defense and unorthodox striking techniques. Though I've never seen Jiri do anything as stupid as throwing sand. He's also far more sane and humble.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

EASSSSSYYYYYY THEREEEEEEE GUYYYYYYY.

 

[b00tysweat]

has he ankle picked anyone?

 

[Xoleth]

I disagree
Sure, they both do weird stuff in the cage. So does Michel Pereira.
But Jiri is not the kind of fighter who gets hit a lot, bleeds a lot then wins the fight in the end.
Also, in real life, there seems to be a huge difference.

Thread is gold so far!

That's exactly the fighter he is

Av worthy

People always try to categorize everything. Jiri is his own kind of insane.

Tony always used his toughness/cardio and ability to scramble well to win.
I’d have to go back and watch Tony’s fights; but I remember more of a “knockdown dragout“ approach.

Jiri Is definitely willing to take two shots to land one, he’s more looking for a big shot from a weird angle sort of a one shot one kill kinda deal.
Tony is the type of guy that would rather stand in the pocket trading nasty elbows and knees and punches really not caring at all about his well-being because he believes he can outlast the other guy which typically happens.

I said for years here that I thought the key was to keep him at the end of one’s punches and kicks and not follow into the ground, unless “you’re” A highly technical position first type of grappler.

You do that against Jiri* and he’s gonna land some sort of weird spinning shit that’s gonna knock you unconscious.

 

[KOPPE]

More like late prime Tony.

[Conor Strickland]

I kinda see it although Jiri needs to start wearing shades 24/7 then he'll evolve to Tony Ferguson

 

[filthybliss]

I think yall are forgetting how good prime Tony was.....I'm not even confident about Jiri being a lock for top 3 in his weight class right now. Prime Tony is probably top 10 lws ever maybe even 5 for some. Jiri doesn't slide into the top 25 205lbers ever.....

 

[Steve Fox]

Jiri doesn't throw sand. He throws Miso.

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

I see it..

Lmfaaaoooo

And I've said the same thing before.

 

[Harlekin]

Tony relied on his chin, height, reach and some illegal punches/kicks.

Jiri is more technical and has been knocked out.

Overall: naaaa don't see it, just both having bad defense.
