Jiri Prochazka Trades Barbs With Magomed Ankalaev After UFC 313

[Gabe]

It won’t happen unless Alex just decides to retire. I look forward to potential fight with Ulberg or Jan.

 

[HHJ]

I dont think Big Ank really said those things, but if he dont clarify that, that shit is on him, as far as Jiri is concerned and thats a reasonable take.

It might happen, actually. It's not off the charts from what Jiri said. He said he has talked to UFC and they will discuss it in person.

Or takes some time off, but I think they are gonna do the rematch probably

Yes, it doesn't matter if he wrote it or not, it is his platform. He never denied any thing he said on Alex when asked, either. As Jiri said, it is Ankalaev, as it is his Twitter and Jiri said he is unlikable and the true fraud that deserves to know who he is dealing with on the cage.

 

[fortheo]

I like Jiri's take on it all. I wouldn't mind seeing Jiri vs. ankalaev next. Let Poatan rest a bit or something.

 

[Tokoloko]

Someone tell Jiri Twitter isn't real life and a marketing tool only.

It's not that serious.

Hahaha. Ankalaev is going to face consequences for being fake boy...just accept it.

 

[Robbocop]

While I recognise Ankalaev's skill, that he chose to win the fight by running out rounds 4 and 5 with wall and stall, especially the last 10-20 seconds of the 5th round, it doesn't show the warrior spirit.

You think Jiri will beat Ankalaev ?

 

[Tokoloko]

Ankalaev is excellent matchup for Jiri. Expect same outcome like in fight with Nemkov - Jiri will simply physically break Ankalaev..

 

[Elvis.]

Ank is a better fight stylistically for Jiri than Alex

Lol No chance. Jiri gets slept in this one.

 

[jeff7b9]

Jiri is acting all innocent but he started the beef with his backhanded compliment,,,,,,"although nobody likes it, congrats on becoming champ." How did he expect Ank to respond lol?

I'd rather see the Jiri fight than the Poatan rematch though, hope they book it.

He's trying to PICK A FIGHT.

He was polite enough.

"Hey champ, congrats on winning the title with that boring as fuck fight."

 

[Objectively Correct]

In this interview with Ariel, few points for Jiri:

"Alex imo showed his worst performance. And still, when the fight ended and after watching it, I didn't know who won. I think there was a close round and I think it was 50/50. Generally they give fights that are even to the champion but I think Ankalaev pressured more so they saw him as slightly better. But for me it was even, I didn't think it was convincing for either side"

"Ankalaev is talking about me being a fraud, a fake samurai, a terrible fighter. He is two faced, because when I met him times ago in Las Vegas he was very nice in person. He doesn't know me, he doesn't know what I am living, what I am sacrificing, so he is the only one who is a fraud. He is one I don't respect as a fighter. I talked about Alex trilogy, but I think Alex needs to rest more. It doesn't affect me (what Ankalaev said) because I know my life and what I sacrifice every day. He doesn't know me, so he is the fraud. I'll have a meeting with the UFC and I can be his next opponent. I will show there in the cage who I really am, I am going 200% and show him what is a martial artist. I'll go there to do everything and hunt this guy who acts like a gangster but he is nothing but a big mouth liar and someone who isn't worth of respect as a fighter"

Ariel — "Some people point out, Jiri, that his manager makes most of the comments for him"

Jiri - "I don't care. It makes no difference. I don't know if it's his manager, he never said it was not him, but it does not matter, because it is his platform, it is his official platform so he is responsible for whatever it is written there, if it is his ""manager", I don't care, it is him all the same. He called me a fraud, a fake fighter. He has said disrespectful things about me and my style of life more than once. He is a big mouth, I will show him who I am when he is there e with me and I will go 100% to finish him. I respect Alex and I still want our trilogy, when Alex is actually 100% and rested. Right now I have some talking to do and I'll go there and show this ""tough gangster"" who I really am "




Haha chilling. He thought the fight was 50/50 between Alex and Ankalalev but he said he is focused on hinting and finishing Ankalaev, he will make a case for him to fight and, as Jiri said, he will go with everything to show who is really the fraud. He also hinted at Magomed talking about Alex's past and life struggles as a former alcoholic and tire worker, saying he is the least respectful champion and Jiri said he saw everything from Ankalaev, every fight and that he will straight up go through him.

It remembers me when Rakić was talking about Jiri being a fake samurai and all that... Jiri got hurt but he didn't falter... He seemed possessed lol and destroyed Rakić as if he were an animal hunting haha. Now I want to see it and I bet on Jiri Prochakza, I think and I root for him to destroy Ankalaev.

Let's go Jiri!!!!

reminder that pissed-off-jiri is undefeated

The point is to be champion.

 

[CombatCyborg]

Ank's speed and patience make me nervous for Jiri in that fight, but I need to see it. I think we'll probably see a Poatan rematch, and Jiri will fight the Jan/Ulberg winner. Might depend on whether Jan/Ulberg KTFOs the other.

 

[don't ask]

“[Ankalaev] can think what he wants, but I know the only person who is a fraud is him,” Prochazka told Ariel Helwani. “Because when I met him in the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, he was there, he was very nice, he was friendly, ‘Hello nice to meet you. All good?’ And right now he is superstar and big gangster. And right now he is playing these games and he is hyped. And I understand. He won the title against worst performance of Alex Pereira. And only fraud person here is Magomed Ankalaev.”

Isn't Jiri the guy that's based his entire life off pretending to be an ancient samurai?

 

[don't ask]

Jiri's dumb antics gold old quick. His black magic phase with Alex was legit embarrassing.

Hope he does get a title shot and Big Ank wrecks him.

It's like WWE explaining the undead biker zombie is in danger from his secret demon brother.

 

[TR1]

Hahaha. Ankalaev is going to face consequences for being fake boy...just accept it.

I'm going to root agains every Czech fighter just based on how dumb you are in this thread.
