    Jiri's greatest weapon is his unparalleled willpower and focus, he has many holes to his game, but his single mindedness and sheer intensity gets him out from impossible positions, and allows him to assert his will on the other fighter.

      Jiri's craziness was his enemy because he had Glover very hurt and kept following him to the ground when he should've been more patient and picked him apart. The true true story here is that Jiri put himself in a big hole and was about to lose but found a way to win despite his own blunders.

      “I did that because I tried to push him, like to push him to give me more, give me more, show me more,” said Procházka. “Because I tried to make him (make) some action, and I wait for that action to do some (techniques) to reverse it.

    • @LordKeram
      @LordKeram Před rokem +7

      It's also very interesting to see the difference between UFC and Rizin. Personally really hate the ring as compared to the cage. Fighter like Jiri is trully unleashed in the cage, while the small ring could really hamper him. Jiri also used the cage multiple times to explode away from under Glover. In Rizin when he had some of those moments where he was just getting ground and pounded, he could never do that...

    • @bigboss8647
      @bigboss8647 Před rokem

      Strikers tend to do better in rings, because of the small distance, fighters will almost always play within your range, but as far as grappling goes its basically a hindrance, things like cagewalking are essential to adjusting your position,

  • @literallyshaking8019
    @literallyshaking8019 Před rokem +434

    This fight was insane because it went against everyone’s preconceived notion’s leading into it, and it changed momentum almost every 30 seconds for all 5 rounds.
    People thought it would be over quickly, either by a KO from Jiri or a sub from Glover. Wrong.
    They thought Glover’s chin was too far gone and wouldn’t be able to take big shots from Jiri. Wrong.
    They thought it would be Jiri dominating standup and Glover dominating on the ground. Wrong.
    Not only that, but Glover was often dominating standup, and it was Jiri who ended up getting the submission on the ground against an all time master in that discipline with 30 seconds left. Insane.
    This was one of those fights that nobody saw coming in terms of intensity and drama. I was absolutely buzzing afterwards, it was one of the all time greatest fights of all time.

    And, yes, Glover was WINNING, but anyone who says Jiri got dominated wasn't watching the same fight. Jiri clocked him so. many. times. throughout the fight that I really thought he was going to knock out Glover a few times. It was way closer than people were giving it credit for.

    You’re not giving Jiri the credit that he deserves. The reason Grover was so tired and Jiri was able to get out of the mount in Rd 5 was because of the devastating body shots that Jiri was landing through the fight. It wasn’t because Glover is “old and slow.”Glover even admitted to it in his octagon interview.

      yeah, I am thinking the same thing. At least from what I have seen, Lyoto Machida and Steven Thompson's speed of reaction, and movements were obviously slowed down after 3-5 years in UFC.
      Jiri's style is supported by an extremely high level of focus and concentration, even good eyesight. These capabilities shrink as time goes on, no matter who.
      I think the first thing Jiri might change is his KO mindset. He just can't KO his opponents every time, he just can't make every fight clean. Justin Gathjie is a good example. After being defeated badly twice in his early UFC fights, he transformed from the KO pursuer to a damage maker.

      He has better boxing, better tactics, and more experience. Unfortunately, as he himself said it, he gave it all... and it wasn't enough. In other words, his age is showing. When you're inching your way into your mid 40s and you're fighting a bigger, taller, stronger guy who is not even 30, the younger guy's lack of experience is more than made up for it by being so much fresher, younger, quicker in reflexes.
      Jiri survived all of those full mounts and BJJ maneuvers where the BJJ master was in control simply because of the young man's strength, agility, and daring (turning his back to the old man, so he could get on his knees and get up, something Glover was able to take advantage of in most of his previous opponents)...
      But here, Jiri gave the old man more than a few opportunities to sub him and Glover didn't have the necessary speed or reflexes any more...

    The entire event was 🔥 even the prelims were solid. This is one worth buying even on DVD when it comes out

    Man I'm so disappointed in you! You did not talk about what a tank glover was. You should give him way more credit than you gave jiri, glover literally won the entire fight except for that last mistake

      Maybe its about time for YOU to put out video praising what a tank Glover was - seems like you need it for some reason.. btw. watched some sprinters not that long ago, dude was in the lead the whole time and at the finish line he was overtaken.. its almost like you count the rabbits when the hunt is over.

      He didn’t win the entire fight except for the last mistake lol wtf. He was up on scorecards I’m sure but it was back and forth and he was tagged multiple times

    For what this fight lacked in fight IQ, it made up for in heart. Jiri is a beast.

      Do you think Rose Namajunas has a good fight IQ?

    Jiri was clearly powering up the right hand to later choke out Glover... such a smart move to use that power up.

    One of best LHW title fights of all time! Same level with JBJ-Gus 1. It was crazy action from start to finish.

    Jiri has been hurt in all of his ufc fights, and was able to pull out a KO, i don't think Glover made a mistake trying to get him to the ground after hurting him, cuz he was dominating the ground game in all of the other rounds.
    And of course, glover could just pass the time on top of Jiri, but the assassin instinct said that he should be able to finish Jiri, and that is the mistake i belive he made

    There was a moment when Jiri (I think it was round 1 ? I don't remember) looked like he tapped when Glover was in top position

    This is the 1st fight that I've watched where I was so caught up in the back-and-forth action, that when the 5th round came around I had no clue who was winning the fight. Amazing fight!!

    @monyetguru Před rokem +1

    like most i didn't want either fighters to lose the fight, but Glover winning most of the rounds then got tapped with 30 seconds remaining sucks so bad man. Dang it

    Jiri is a great athlete and I was deeply inspired my Glover man. 42 years old. You can't fathom how difficult it must be to rise to the apex of this sport at 42 and become a champion. True inspiration on both men's parts

    I was mind-blown when I woke up this morning and saw the result and the round in which it finished, this is why I love watching MMA. They should book Jiri vs Jan in Prague or Warsaw
