Problem is the more you touch Poatan without taking him out the closer you get getting taken out.People forget how competitive it was. Jiri touched him a lot times
Lmaothe first one knocked him out the second one killed him
He just fought in Vegas and made weight and fought just fine. I dont know why people say dumbass shit like this without at least making an easy check to see if their own made up bullshit is real or not.probably because he can roid or not make weight there.
because Ankalaev doesn't want a title shot outside of Abu Dhabi, probably because he can roid or not make weight there.
Jiri/Poatan winner should 100% avoid Ankalaev in Abu Dhabi and force him to fight in the US, UK, Australia, France, Brazil, China or Canada.
He just fought in Vegas. Where was the missed weight? Where was the positive roid test? how did he fight any differently?Agree.

When did he not make weight on the abu dhabi cards?
Historically when has Ankalaev had trouble making weight?You’re missing the point. Historically, those kinds of things are allowed in abu dhabi for certain fighters.
He took a little break after the Hill fight to heal his toes but he's been back in training for a while now. Even while traveling he's still training every day and he weighs 227 lbs atm so just a normal cut.Alex was out of commission with a broken toe and has been traveling the world making appearances.
He's taking this fight with zero preparation. Forget a camp, he's not even in regular training. He has to fly across the world from Australia and somehow make this weight cut, then walk into the cage.
This is 100% Jiri's best opportunity to beat Alex. Everything is working against Alex here and he is brave but arguably a fool for taking this booking.
He actually wasn't too reckless against poatan until he got finished. He was picking his shots more.The problem is, Jiri usually doesn’t mind getting hit. He has a crazy ability to just recover from being put on skates immediately and fire back. He relied on this for a long time, but must avoid it against Alex at all costs. Like HHJ said, he must fight sharp and do no mistakes, which will be hard. Once the exchanges start he will constantly have to fight the urge to go back into “Standard Jiri mode”. He is his own worst enemy sometimes.
That said, Jiri ko round 2. Fingers crossed.
Jiri also doesn’t really seem to have one lunch power but more swarming stoppage ability. I don’t think Jiri is THAt dangerous for alex
Jiri should wrestel
That’s true for anyone to be honest. And alex can get one shot killed. We have seen a MW in Izzy leave him dead in the octagon before tooProblem is the more you touch Poatan without taking him out the closer you get getting taken out.
We have seen nobody else do it as well. A MW in Izzy is the second best MW of all time, let’s not make it sound like an easy task.We have seen a MW in Izzy leave him dead in the octagon before too
And Jiri has only been bested once in UFCs (weak ass) LHW division too. So let’s not make it sound like he will get KOd by Alex everytime.We have seen nobody else do it as well. A MW in Izzy is the second best MW of all time, let’s not make it sound like an easy task.
Well no, I’m hoping Jiri gets it done, but it is a bad matchup for him.And Jiri has only been bested once in UFCs (weak ass) LHW division too. So let’s not make it sound like he will get KOd by Alex everytime.
Vegas is not Abu Dhabi. I don't trust him in Abu Dhabi at all.He just fought in Vegas and made weight and fought just fine. I dont know why people say dumbass shit like this without at least making an easy check to see if their own made up bullshit is real or not.
