Always interesting to watch him do his thing. He's looking kinda skinny though

 

[Oddmonster]

Jiri is a beast. I do wish he got with a real team and stopped all his weird shenanigans. Some of the shit he does has me looking for Joshua Fabia amongst his coaches.

But who am i to tell him what to do*shrug*

 

[One MMA Fan]

In any USA camp he would have had a proper water weight cut and been at MW. Respect to him, he is wild, good luck to him.

I kinda see him as the Tony Ferguson of the LHW division as soon as he looses a step be it speed, reflexes, degraded chin etc it will look bad even worse then Tony since it will be vs 205's, winning fights on toughness and wildness has an expiration date.

Can’t tell if it’s CTE or rabies

I would pay to see him hitting the bag in a completely dark room.

 

[Van Daz]

He needs Joe Rogan to show him how to kick. That clip looked like he's pretty average. Looks like I'll bet against him on the next fight.

 

[Uber_Noober]

Flowy Jiri is born. Also, his reach is impressive, it looks like he can punch you from 10’ away.

 

[Boomb]

Great fighter but he tries a little bit too hard with the "samurai schtick".

 

[wildchild88]

I could wreck Jiri in about 7.5 seconds.

Then foursome with UFC ring girls.

Hahahaha. Mate, you've been drinking too much Bang energy!!

 

[Xoleth]

It reminds me of my first kickboxing class, before the coach arriving.



He is probably playing and experimenting, though.
Still, one of the most entertaining fighters.

You would pay to see it? How would you see it?

 

[PrideNverDies]

You'd think Jiri is still champ with all these threads about everything he does. If Jiri took his training seriously and trained in US at a top gym who worked on his boxing defense I think it would help his career a lot. He won't have a long career with that defense

What makes you think he’s “trying” or that it’s a “schtick”?

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Looks solid to me, just getting daily work in, developing a style your own takes time and every rep counts...that linear straight he throws is very sneaky.. almost no setup and comes from hip like a sword stab...very interesting... he's really focusing on the true aspect of Mix Martial Arts... Taking the individual elements and styles and molding them to you.. this is what all fighters should be striving to do v.s Cookie cutter mma training...where yes u generally improve overtime but at a slower pace and less specialization..

Interested to see how he looks in his next fight...coming off injury , the 2nd fight back is usually better

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Dude is an amazing fighter with some of the worst fundamentals in striking and wrestling I’ve ever seen.

 

[Stump]

I love Jiri, and I'm no MMA technical expert, but man alive I get the sense he has zero striking defence beyond having his long arms always in your way. Even in this video, he looks so hitable.

I agree with the Tony-of-LHW comments. I think Jiri is gonna fall off a cliff when he starts to slow down a little bit.

There's something very entertaining and quite succesful about the totally-unique and intense styles that guys like Tony and Jiri bring to the table, but it is absolutely rooted in physical talents like speed,timing and maybe most importantly, chin. Once these start to diminish even a little bit, it seems, the falloff is severe.

You can't help but wonder how much better these kinds of guys would do with a more traditional, more-defensive-minded training regime.

That man is psycho

Wading into danger the way he does is always wild but doing it against guys weighing 225lbs+ is just ridiculous lol.
