Can Jiri Prochazca win the rematch?

[Mcnugget]

He knocked out oezdemir w one punch.

Knocked out Reyes w one elbow

Lots of one punch kos in pre UFC career as well

I said one lunch power

True.

You did.

Jiri can win but it's not going to be easy. Jiri is too stubborn to change his style. He also likes to fight against his opponent's strengths. Jiri doesn't seem like he is going to start checking leg kicks anytime soon. Alex's gameplan is out there. I don't think it is any secret that he wants to kick the calf a little bit then set traps. It is really up to Jiri to neutralize Alex's game.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

It's probably 60/40 Alex but he's injured and coming off a vacation. It really comes down to who fights smart and has the better night. They are very evenly matched.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Jiri is capable of big KO power himself. He was landing in the first fight. Both of these guys are fighters who can end it at any point. Just enjoy the show.

 

[Burd]

He has to pressure constantly and not let Alex set the pace and tear his legs up. You have to just stand and bang and pray you connect

 

[StonedLemur]

jiris biggest issue in the fight was the leg kicks in his orthodox stance, when he switched to southpaw the leg kicks were not as effectice, but jiri was not comfortable enough in that stance. If jiri can become more comfortable in southpaw, that could definitely be a factor in avoiding the leg kicks, along with learning how to check them.

The leg kicks weren't as effective when he turned southpaw but neither was Jiris striking.

 

[StonedLemur]

Glover just has nothing left.

Fuckin hell of a fight though.

I'd give Jiri a better chance this time around

He did struggle with the kicks but really what did him in is when he had Poatan backed up, which he did often, in that last exchange he got a little too reckless/overzealous and that was the opening that a cornered Poatan needed.


He need to stay frosty and do everything right. Cant mess up with a guy like this.

That’s just not who Jiri is, though. Homeboy is chaos incarnate inside the cage. I wonder if it’s even possible for that guy to mind his ps and qs.

Easier said than done to check those kicks which have basically no tell. Izzy had trouble doing it. Hill couldn't really do it..

 

[flektarn]

Zero chance with this guy

 

[whocares]

I know Jiri is the master of rabid hyena style but he would benefit greatly from clinching Alex and hunting some early toe stomps. Try to fuck that foot up and inhibit Alex's movement. He just needs to resist the urge to go full Garbrandt at some point, which I don't think he can.

In the final exchange he got a little carried away. I know what you mean but..I think he can do it.

 

[WhiteMousse]

I CUCKED YOUR MOM

Wait----

 

[HHJ]

He knocked out Reyes with 2 elbows tbf brother.

The first elbow didnt really connect,it was really a setup,a rangefinder for the second one.

Hill stopped most of it by just not giving Alex the leg. Alex couldn't get his leg kick game going. Alex can't really throw the rear leg calf kick to a southpaw opponent. Hill also tried to step to the outside of Alex's lead leg so only Hill could kick with his own lead leg while Alex was out of position. Try to find the Hill fight online. I am pretty sure Hill landed more leg kicks to Alex. Hill's team really came up with a game plan for Alex's leg kicks.

Keither Jardine evolved into Jiri
