Jiri vs Pereira, who you got?

[BlackStrap]

Jiri too wild to not get knocked out by Alex

I have to agree. Jiri gets hit way too much, and Alex's punches are precise and effective. Jiri won't get banged up, he'll get knocked out. I am also a big believer in activity. Not ring rust but activity, and Alex has been active.

 

[Nobru]

Alex by TKO. The left hook will be too fast for Jiri.

 

[HHJ]

Jiri is also the first guy that matches poatan in all areas physically, height, weight, and reach. There is not one single physical advantage for poatan here, which is not something that we've seen in his mma career.

Yes Jiri is an incredible specimen which is why he can get away with some of the stuff he does.

Double Champ Pereira

 

[Buffmeister]

• That fight was nearly 8 years ago
• That was the second fight Jiri fought in the same night

Yes it was...also the 2nd fight for Mo.
And he still is careless and wild.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Leaning Alex since old man Glover brutalized him with strikes in their fight. Jiri is just too hittable and Alex is precise with his strikes.

Jiri is wild though and could definitely catch Alex unless his defense is on point. Jiri has a history of getting hit with near zero defense though so Alex should be able to crack him.

I think this is a far easier fight for Poatan than Jan or Izzy were. I see him finishing Jiri.

 

[Burd]

Jiri just because of the age difference.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Jiri gets rocked almost every fight, I don't think he will be able to recover against Alex.

 

[mjfan23]

Jiri via Lay n Pray

 

[Uncertainly Principled]

the fans win

Jiri via greater diversity of attack, superior recovery & hellbows is my guess but wouldn't be at all shocked by any result...

Especially a draw

 

[Blastbeat]

every single vote should be for the Fans. because this matchup is a blessing from the JBG.

if i had to pick, i say Jiri wins this by KO/TKO. he's so dynamic and got so many weapons in his arsenal that training for him must be a nightmare because you never know what he's gonna do. but its gonna be a great fight either way and i wont be mad if Alex wins.

Jiri’s wide ass stance is getting calf kicked into Bolivia until he turns into a wrestler.

 

[FrankDux]

Both fighters will land shots.

But Jiri wins due to better chin and durability. Jiri via decision. Classic just bleed match for the ages.

 

[L0ki]

Leaning towards Poatan.

Insane to see Jiri only has a grand total of 6 UFC appearances.

Would've been a pick 'em but that's a nasty injury that required a lot of time off while Alex has been keeping sharp.

 

[Dirty Frank]

Poatan.
Jiri's "samurai", "chakra"-summoning style is bound to get him caught soon, and who more equipped to do it than Poatan.

 

[Dirty Frank]

Perreira wins second gold in his second sport.
In some bar somewhere, Izzy says that he beat that bum once.

<[analyzed}>

 

[doggo]

Alex is also defensibly irresponsible. Just watch the fight with Jan.

Exactly!!!

Finally someone sees the same I do (and says it)

 

[Uncertainly Principled]

Insane to see Jiri only has a grand total of 3 UFC appearances.

Poatan clocking in at an enormous 6 UFC appearances

Interesting to note that arguably the most hyped fight in ages is between two guys who made their names outside of the UFC.

Further proof the UFC is in the business of promoting itself, not fights or fighters I guess

Spoiler

Jiri gets wobbled in almost every fight. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Alex knocks him out.
