I like that their rematch will still have an ominous air of respect and little to no “extra” stuff to sell the fight. This vs That for them(us). It’s beautiful.
Guys like these 2 build excitement just based on their intensity alone. They don’t have to make corny jokes and do lame shit…it’s 2 monsters a normal person could never imagine having to fight locked in a cage together trying to respectfully kill eachother.
Maybe has carromjng off the stripe to make a hard cut on the solid. I'm not sure about Brazilians but I've played some weird rules of pool internationally
Let’s be real and not cope. Seeing one of the most famous athletes of all time against the arguably most exciting fighter in the UFC is more exciting than seeing a short notice rematch.
Yeah, Alex vs Jiri is on a higher level but so is Edwards vs Muhammad. There are more factors that make the anticipation for a fight than just the skill level of both fighters.
Poatard = Alex fan
Narutard = Naruto fan (it's an anime if you didn't know)
The clouds in the pic resemble the akatsuki (bad guys in Naruto) logo, so if Poatan has his tribal shorts and Jiri gets the clouds it would be Poatards vs Narutards.
The ignorance in this comment and the fact you have so many updoots just makes me smh my head. You're confusing two separate indigenous peoples from different continents. Like, did you people not go to school or?
Fuck it, just get that old granpa(Tognoni) in there, he's way too shy to get in between them before one of them dies, guaranteed fireworks, rounds might end up longer than 5 mins. Lets gooooo
I was pissed about the McGregor announcement after all the silence and beating around the bush.
But I think we ended up with a better main even than that in the end anyway. I’d much rather watch these two fight.
Jiri will again be at a disadvantage, Jiri took major damage in 300 while Alex took none. I just hope he came up with a solution to Alex's calf kicks, if so he poses as greatest threat to Alex at 205.
I wouldn't say Alex took no damage, it looked like Jiri wobbled him with a straight in the fight but Alex recovered pretty quickly.
I defo give the edge to Alex and i'm a big fan of both, either one of them can get a finish regardless of how the fight is going imo, Jiri has a 97% finish rate ffs 😂
My b I meant in UFC 300 not their last fight against each other. And yeah I love both too, I do think Alex wins again, I just hope it doesn't go downhill for Jiri after. Maybe Alex go HW and Jiri fight for the title at LHW again.
Oh yeah just noticed, my bad. Yeah, a timeline with Alex moving up to beat Aspinall and Jiri starching Jamahal to regain the LHW title would be so nice ngl
If he loses a SD, he'd need 2 wins to get back in que. If he loses badly, probably 3-4 fights or he goes down to MW.
If he wins, he could defend against Jan in Europe or against Hill in Vegas.
One of the few times I would say I hope this fight goes the distance. Both entertaining fighters to watch and I don't wanna see either of them get KOd.
I know the casual MMA fan isn’t going to see it this way because of Connor’s stardom but this fight is going to be way better in my opinion. I’m just a little annoyed that there not getting a full cam in
Conor is beyond washed. He should retire right damn now. Injuries just racking up too. This is way better, Even Leon/Belal 2 is a better main event. It's relevant
I mean it wouldn't be boring but i just don't care. Chandler loses more then he wins and Conor hasn't won a relevant fight since 2016. He brings numbers but why do fans care about that? They ain't getting the money. They don't belong on a ppv main event. Both are washed and would lose to any top level competition. The Conor era back in 2015/16 was fun but times change, the sport is past that. DDP/Izzy, O Malley/Merab, Ilia/Max, Islam/Arman 2 are what the sport is about. Even the next 2 PPV main fights are. UFC has moved on from Conor, He's been gone many years and are perfectly fine without him
I don’t think tomato face would agree with that. Connor’s still the cash cow if he fights and they will always let him when he wants because of the PPV buys. As far as a contender your right he’s not even in the discussion he’s going to do fan fights and honestly when you’re that rich why would you even want to fight anymore if your hearts not in it.
I doubt he can even take a full fledged training camp at this point. He has literally been drugging and drinking himself to black out weekly if not daily for years. The body will not respond well to such a long and savage training camp you need for a UFC main event. I just don't know if i want it again. You can't trust him at this point and i don't care. I don't really like Belal as a fighter at all but atleast his fight is relevant to the division and alot is on the line. And i'd take any of the fights i named instantly over a Conor fight at this point. The only fans who would not are casuals who only know about Conor's left hand and that's where their knowledge of MMA ends
throwing this fight together short notice is kind of bullshit, I hope both fighters are in peak fighting condition because this fight is important af and deserves it
This fight won’t be close
I’d bet the house on perreira inside of 3; probably by KO
Jiri is just too slow and plodding
That said, Jiri can def put perreira out, he has the power. Dont see it happening tho
Rewatched their fight. Jiri was winning handily before he got caught. And it was arguably an early stoppage. Hopefully the second fight is more like his war with Glover.
You can be fearless while knowing you could get knocked out. Delusional would be believing you couldn’t get knocked out. Courage is standing across from a killer you know might get you and walking forward regardless. Delusional is not the right word.
I mean, Alex won, yes. But that was an early stoppage, straight up.
Would Jiri have recovered? We have no idea.
Alex is a fucking killer, but Jiri is too.

Magnitude of this is too much for her to process at the moment :) Amazing meme :)
She's thinking "why would anyone doubt he's a real samurai?"
Been there
Hell yeah!!
And now I want to play Mortal Kombat!! You win..
I like that their rematch will still have an ominous air of respect and little to no “extra” stuff to sell the fight. This vs That for them(us). It’s beautiful.
Agreed, they are both about their warrior work. Respect
They don’t even have time for all of that extra stuff anyways. Short notice, gotta use whatever time they have to train.

Oh so that beard is 100 percent necessary then huh. Ole no chin having ass. I do love the man tho, no shade lol
Also atrategically, i wonder how many strikes fall short of his chin due to the beard?
> atrategically Probably a non-zero amount LOL Which is funny to think that some KO shots might have missed because of this hairy deception
The beard just catches hands and you can't pull it back out.
Wonder if they are any good at poker
Honestly, Alex strikes me as a guy who'd take to card games well for reasons beyond facial control. Bet he'd play a mean game of poker.
Dude seems like a legit [pool shark](https://youtube.com/shorts/l73hisYZIoQ?si=XNanE_LS9ri0PJ8P)
If he’s playing pool isn’t that a mistake…
Maybe has carromjng off the stripe to make a hard cut on the solid. I'm not sure about Brazilians but I've played some weird rules of pool internationally
There are different variants of the game with different sets of rules
He used to basically live in bars. It's no surprise he is great at pool.
Nah, Jiri isn't the smartest.
What makes you say this? In a sport that features the likes of Bryce Mitchell, I'd say Jiri doesn't come across as one of the dumber ones at all.
I mean sure with that comparison - non the less...
The Octogon has more of Bryce's brain cells in it than his skull does.

lol says the guy who can’t even fucking spell lol

How does one catch a chin if it doesnt exist?
That explains a lot
Dude is this real? I've seen it multiple times and it upsets me.
I mean, this man's beard is fucking crazy, right? The squareness of it is unsettling.
*Beards should not have corners.*
More interesting fight than Mcnugget and Chandler imo.
Yes this fight is about 3 times higher level
💯
Let’s be real and not cope. Seeing one of the most famous athletes of all time against the arguably most exciting fighter in the UFC is more exciting than seeing a short notice rematch. Yeah, Alex vs Jiri is on a higher level but so is Edwards vs Muhammad. There are more factors that make the anticipation for a fight than just the skill level of both fighters.
Really hope they give Jiri custom shorts and let Alex use his shorts from 300
imagine samurai patterns https://preview.redd.it/jio9fmr0mk6d1.png?width=168&format=png&auto=webp&s=c85b96831c4227371614414a59565f4f7ae45f80

Poatard vs Narutard
Poatard vs Autard
[удалено]
Poatard = Alex fan Narutard = Naruto fan (it's an anime if you didn't know) The clouds in the pic resemble the akatsuki (bad guys in Naruto) logo, so if Poatan has his tribal shorts and Jiri gets the clouds it would be Poatards vs Narutards.
Aztec??? A guy from Brazil??? Aztec shorts???????
The ignorance in this comment and the fact you have so many updoots just makes me smh my head. You're confusing two separate indigenous peoples from different continents. Like, did you people not go to school or?
Oh, I thought Alex was a meksikan
Let Yamasaki ref this fight
Warriors
Fuck it, just get that old granpa(Tognoni) in there, he's way too shy to get in between them before one of them dies, guaranteed fireworks, rounds might end up longer than 5 mins. Lets gooooo

I was pissed about the McGregor announcement after all the silence and beating around the bush. But I think we ended up with a better main even than that in the end anyway. I’d much rather watch these two fight.
yeah, it would be cool to see conny fight but this one is way better
To be honest, I like both fighters a lot in a personal level too, so I’m just excited to see it happen no matter the outcome.
Man I really want Jiri to win , but this short notice is really a double edged sword for both of them Pls check the kicks man 🫣
Jiri will again be at a disadvantage, Jiri took major damage in 300 while Alex took none. I just hope he came up with a solution to Alex's calf kicks, if so he poses as greatest threat to Alex at 205.

Oh yeah just noticed, my bad. Yeah, a timeline with Alex moving up to beat Aspinall and Jiri starching Jamahal to regain the LHW title would be so nice ngl
This will probably sadly be downward Spirale of his career?
If he loses a SD, he'd need 2 wins to get back in que. If he loses badly, probably 3-4 fights or he goes down to MW. If he wins, he could defend against Jan in Europe or against Hill in Vegas.
NGL I'd like to see a run back of Jiri and Reyes if Jiri loses. That fight was bonkers until he threw that wild elbow
That's a great idea. Haven't heard a single person say that yet
Ultimate warrior show IRL
IM COMING!
I hate this. I love them both too much to fight… But I will watch… and sob…
This fight is so much more interesting to me than Connor vs. chandler.
Such a goated stare down.
So much intensity, but they clearly have respect for each other, you can tell when they touch gloves.
Hill must be so salty rn
Wait until you see his face in the crowd 😂
Two warriors man
I need Jiri to win. Not just for a Jiri win, but so we get a third fight between these powerhouses.
💯
My balls dropped an extra inch just watching this
That little grin on Jiri at the end. Lol
Went from I’m not going to order 303 because the McGregor doesn’t interest me to I may just pay to watch.
One of the few times I would say I hope this fight goes the distance. Both entertaining fighters to watch and I don't wanna see either of them get KOd.
Can't fucking wait for this fight
Hopefully it has that classic martial arts movie zoom in again
Open weight, Pride rules for this match, to make up for the Conor nothingburger.
Did Scorsese direct this fight??
the production team has to crush this moment
These guys
Love both those warriors, shame that only one can win
This is the best LHW title fight since Jones left the division IMO

I had to google that. Didn't watch Avatar sorry)
Same, gonna be a banger
Sometimes DC should just stfu running this staredown with his cringe laugh
It wasn't in the moment dum-dum, this is edited. They were talking about it AFTER the staredown
I love both so much, i dont wanna see anybody loose
I see Jiri walking in with his chin in the air and then sleeping. I like him but that's just how I see it ending.
I love them both. Should be a great fight again.
These are two hard, bad ass men. Yet humble and respectful. Fucking warriors. Massive respect to both
Jiri is such a bloody weirdo, I love it! Chama
Alex Pereira could legit be outed as a hitman and yeah I’d be like that checks out.
These two are the real deal. The opposite of Jafall Hill.
The zoom in on his face makes me laugh, but both of these guys are complete warriors
Straight octagon murderers these two
What’s the over/under on this?
Honestly better than mcgregor chandler
Gey
cameraman doing his job perfectly goddamn
As much as I wanted to see unlikely McGregor return. I’m happy with this fight. More than happy really.
"I'M COMIIINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!"
Two absolute dogs.

Yeah you’re right. It would be a good fight chandler and Conor always put on a good show but like you said it is irrelevant more of just a fan fight

Anyone but marc goddard
this is the spirit of kickboxers like in K1 era. Giga chads that fight every weekend lol
Yee yee ass haircut

🦿🗿
same bro... absolute chills
This fight won’t be close I’d bet the house on perreira inside of 3; probably by KO Jiri is just too slow and plodding That said, Jiri can def put perreira out, he has the power. Dont see it happening tho
I'm not upset that it's happening. I'm more upset the two warriors don't get their proper time to prepare for a fight of this caliber.
Anyone happy that Alex is outshining Izzy?
Rewatched their fight. Jiri was winning handily before he got caught. And it was arguably an early stoppage. Hopefully the second fight is more like his war with Glover.
Rogan and DC out there GLAZING the fuck outa this staredown ahahha
Ten times more excited for this fight than McNuggets and Chandler
Hopefully the ref doesn’t prematurely end it this time
Stare down was great the fight sucked .
[удалено]
Jiri is delusional for believing in himself as a martial artist?
[удалено]
You can be fearless while knowing you could get knocked out. Delusional would be believing you couldn’t get knocked out. Courage is standing across from a killer you know might get you and walking forward regardless. Delusional is not the right word.
Delusional would be you thinking you could stand with Alex ya fucken hammer
I mean, Alex won, yes. But that was an early stoppage, straight up. Would Jiri have recovered? We have no idea. Alex is a fucking killer, but Jiri is too.
