Pereira vs Jiri 3, leg kicks won't be as effective ?

[MetaIIica]

One Pereira's biggest tools against Jiri is his leg kicks, but now that Pereira broke his right big toe I am wondering will that compromise him for the next fight, or even the rest of his career? Jiri is more comfortable in orthodox stance, and since Pereria's right toe is compromised, throwing kicks to Jiris lead leg from a orthodox stance can be more dangerous than the previous fights.

All it's going to take is Jiri checking one kick from Pereira, causing Pereira to shatter his toe again. I can't see Pereira being able to kick at 100% with that right leg.

There will be no Pereira vs Jiri 3. Alex probably has like 2-4 fights left in him and wants to fight at HW. He's also hinted at wanting to fight on the White House card and plans on recovering until then.

There won't be a 3rd fight, so the point is moot.

Jiri fans need to let this nonsense go; being down 0-2 and getting finished in both fights doesn't get you a 3rd fight.

leg kicks aren't the problem. it's Jiri being hesitant because he's been knocked out twice and since he has no defense he's just a sitting duck. if he actually attacks like the first fight he has a chance but that 2nd fight he was just completely nullified by aura

Jon Jones almost got his toe ripped clean off (he was lucky to survive Chael GOAT), but he was able to make a clean recovery

This gif is hilarious

But didn't Jon have to put some band tape around his toe for the rest of his career? Doesn't sound like a clean recovery to me.

My interest in this fight won't be very effective either cause... there is none.

Yes he said he would walk out of a UFC event if they make him remove the tape from around his toes. Jones still has damage to this day so he tapes his toes together.

I don't think a toe break is something so traumatic that guys won't kick again.

Plus Alex's been fighting for so long, he probably had so many injuries on his legs/feet/toes that it's just business as usual.

That shit is more to those ankle/leg breaks.

I don't think it will happen, but if they did have a 3rd fight I would put money on Jiri because he'd come in as a heavy underdog and people forget he had Alex in trouble in the first fight.

Jiri would lose again

If he tries to do everything by the book he'll get picked apart (like how khalil was outpointing him for 2 rounds).
If he goes for chaos he'll get KO'd like the last fight

he tried to change his style for the rematch and got finished even faster
