I hope this doesn't get me banned for bashing but wth is up with Jiri's statement about Alex using black magic to win the fight? He said it on Ariel's podcast and now doubled down on media day and challenged Alex to win the fight. So if he wins he beat Alex despite the magic spell and if he loses it is because Alex still cheated with magic spells...
This might have topped Tito's broken skull excuse.
Wtf is it? Is that a samurai cultural thing or is Jiri a little.... Nutty?

Having said all that. I can't dislike the guy. War Jiri.
 
You mean the Czech samurai who spends days in a dark room without food or water to train for himself for combat might not be mentally all there? Hard to believe, personally.

In all seriousness though, Czech people are very superstitious in general. It's not a big deal.
 
Jiri - if you are convinced "in his fights he uses spirits" you've already psychologically lost.
 
It wouldn't be the first time a fighter has done that. I'm trying to remember which fighter told a story about a (I think) Braziliaan fighter going to a shaman for that reason. I think a Dutch fighter said it.. @BoxerMaurits maybe you know? I think it was either Bas or Yvel.


Also, Pacquiao's mom...

Izzy talking about doing juju



Juju or ju-ju (French: joujou, lit. 'plaything')[1][2] is a spiritual belief system incorporating objects, such as amulets, and spells used in religious practice in West Africa[3] by the people of Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, and Cameroon.[4] The term has been applied to traditional African religions,[5] incorporating objects such as amulets, and spells used in spiritual practices, and blood sacrifices.[6]

I would be expecting tony levels of eccentricity but he was pretty normal, at least socially, until he said this

Maybe gyno is the price he pays.
 
It looks like Jiri has caught a case of TFS (Tony Ferguson Syndrome), but there is still hope. If he turns his chair backwards we know it is terminal.
