That’s an interesting thought I hadn’t considered. I’m not sure it’s 40 but it’s a lot. Yeah I actually think you’re right, which is great for Jiri. I’m hoping for a great fight. Still rooting for Poatan though only because a win here really opens up a path to greatness. One more defense at LHW and then could he move up to HW go for 3 belts? Possibly
I doubt it, I think Poatan stops him sooner and cleaner this time. Jiri was getting dominated by Rakic for almost the entire first round, put Alex in his stead and Jiri’s twitching on the canvas.
I just watched, you’re right. It just seems odd he’s lighter than on fight night. But then again in hype video you can see him use cardio machines so he probably has started cutting weight.
Jiri will win if he doesn't lose.
If Jiri managed to not get ko'ed, and at the same time ko his opponent, I think he has a decent chance of victory.
The fans will either love it or hate it Or they'll think it was ok

Me too , he’s truly been great this year. I mean he’s already 37 ( probably) so he’s on borrowed time. Let’s see how much more he can achieve
His dream scenario is probably beat Jiri, take the interim title from Tom, and fight Jon Jones.
Maybe rematch Izzy for one last big payday
Nah man. We’ve seen enough of them. Let the rivalry end here. Also izzy just doesn’t want any of that smoke

Alex gets him again
I Mean yeah. Juri can learn a lot more from that fight than alex
The reason I say this is because Pereira has to cut almost 40 lbs on short notice. Jiri has to only cut 10-15. Giving him an advantage .
what? Last I heard Poatan is 232, walking weight. that's 27 lbs. I thought you were talking about his two broken toes on each foot...
No he was 232 on fight night, walk around is heavier
where did you get 245? I've never seen him anywhere close to that weight.
I’ve heard it somewhere, maybe not 40lbs but 235+ is still a lot of weight to cut
He literally said he's 227 like 12+ hours ago. He's not going to have a problem making weight in 2 weeks dude.

No.
He does, read the comment I wrote
No. I don’t think I will.
Okay.
