Jiri looked terrible tonight

He didn't look terrible but he didn't look like someone who could beat Alex using that same style. He would not have made it to round 3 if Alex was in there with him.
 
He looked slower than usual, but I think he struggled with the southpaw stance of khalil, plus khalil is fast as hell
 
He was definitely getting owned in the first two rounds, but Khalil is no joke.

Jiri looked like something was off with his balance or footwork, early on. He kept kind of slipping and stumbling.

But when he switched into kill mode in the third, he just melted Rountree. No one can ever question Jiris heart or fighting spirit.
 
Jiri did OK in the UFC.

His game plan against Khalil was actually excellent, he implemented it 7/10. His long punches from weird angles confused Rountree, he kept hitting his own chest which was fucking pointless, he did OK in the close range exchanges, although it did seem like he wasted time hunting for big clinch knees that never came.

He ate too many punches but his plan was solid and very effective. By the 3rd round he'd broken Khalil down and he looked great when he went for the finish.
 
Arre yaar you are mistaken 🙊This time he is mixing slap dangal style with MMA dangal 🥋🌊

Good defence brace leaving Rountree exhausted whenever he land ji 🫩 he cannot defend the strong thappad of Jiri by rd 3. This new Jiri is the final physical form
 
I think he performed worse against Rakic. I'd call it a classic Jiri performance.
But against Chama it’s going to be tough.
 
I thought the opposite.

Jiri is the only white fighter in UFC that can fight w a black guy style. Super loose and fast twitch. He made Khalil look like the white guy, the way he was dancing circles around him, till he decided to go beast mode.

Jiri ate so many punches with his face that Rountree got tired…not too impressive.

What fucking fight were you watching

The 3rd round is the best jiri has ever looked

Who cares about the rest of the fight.
 
I don’t think some of you appreciate the speed and the precision in which Khalil throws combinations with… he’s by far the fastest guy in the division.


Khalil makes a lot of guys look slow and off rhythm on the feet.

I agree. He didn't look good at all imo either. If Rountree didn't gas Jiri wouldn't have won that fight. He was losing the entire fight.

He looked as good as always. His leg was injuries, but he wasn't rocked at any point, he didn't get hit as much as with Reyes. Jiri and his team and most fans who knows a bit knew that Khalil had no cardio to withstand the pace for 15 minutes
 
He did look bad at first, but most of his fights he gets his ass beat for the first 1-2 then comes back and wins. Only fight in recent memory that that didn't happen was vs Jamahal because Hill sucks ass.

He always look like a person who shouldn't be fighting at ufc level.

But he often make it work. This was one of those times.

He reminds me of a more successful Johnny Walker.
 
He said he came in with the gameplan to counter Khalil's blitzes but Khalil kept everything tight and didn't give him any good looks. That's why he looked kinda lost in round 1. Then he adapted by using the reach of his jab to push Khalil back and walk him down.
 
How do we know Jiri looked terrible and wasn't just trying a new technique that involves getting hit in the face a lot?

He got hit a ton. Jiri in general has terrible defense & will always run the risk of getting ktfo. He didn't look good at all & only got the ko because Rountree was gassed. Ulberg & especially Pereira finishes Jiri within two rounds.
 
He knew Khalil was trying to counter him.

He had to wait for him to tire.

But Jiri never goes to a decision. Dude knows how to close the show when he has to, and he always has to because he is the violence god
