So let's clarify something. Last time Jiří Prochazka lost was 31st Dec 2015 to King Mo via knockout. It was his 6th fight that year, 4th fight WITHIN A MONTH, 3rd fight IN 3 DAYS, AND 2ND FIGHT OF THE DAY! The fighter that Jiri beat immediately before the fight with King Mo was no one else than Vadim Nemkov (current Bellator 205 Champ who beat Ryan Bader) and that was all in RIZIN where you have 10 minutes long 1st round! The fight with Nemkov was crazy and Nemkov wasn't able to continue after the first round while Jiri needed to get ready for the final fight with King Mo which he unfortunately lost. However he avenged his loss to King Mo couple years later. I think that's an important thing to consider while you talking about Prochazka.
Jan blachowicz vs jiri prochazka has a real old school barbaric vibe to it. That would be fight of the year.
2 Vikings going at it.
I think Jan knocks Jiri out pretty early. Jiri needs to get some better defence. Against Reyes it was actually improved a little but he still got clipped a lot
edison hewitt true, Jan hits harder than Reyes we saw that in their fight
@Yarp Yarp Slavs were Vikings too, but I get what you mean. The Vikings were dirty pirates. They should call them winged hussars or something.
@Yarp Yarp The Wends were technically Vikings. Northern Germany and Denmark had to fight lots of Slavic Vikings.
Light heavyweighht : Jan & Jiri waiting
Heavyweight: Francis waiting
Jones: *Just cut me already*
Foreeeal though .. Let’s go Jones!!!
Jones ain’t beating Ngannou his skinny legs will feel that African power in the first round. People saying fight iq takedowns etc you really think he’s gonna be able to wrestle 275+ lb Ngannou for 25 minutes when he barely beat 2 former middleweights 😂
@@Amzyy since he came down off pico he can't take down anyone not even Santos and you seen how early Glover took down Santos
@@Amzyy hes not 275 and hes gettin gassed
Samoan Suave 45 Jon would maul Jan and jiri honestly and ima a Jan fan he’s to big with that 84 inch reach nobody in lhw can beat jon that’s why he left
Saying "Dominic got 180 no scoped by Majin Buu" is now the fastest way to tell new people your into MMA, Gaming and Anime.
😂
Underrated comment
😂😂😂
Fantastic lol. He really did get 180 no scoped by Buu lol
But it’s a 360 no scope. So I know ur not really that much into gaming.
Jiri: 28 wins 25 by ko/tko
Blachowicz: 28 wins 8 by ko/tko
People: P0LisH poW3r!!!
Jiri: Am i a WiFi antenna to you?
Bro, people don’t believe me when I tell them he only has 3 KOs in the UFC in 16 fights. Jiri has 2 already in his only 2 fights and against guys that have never been flatlined like that. Jan is good but I just dont think he can deal with Jiris power, pressure or pace he’s just inevitable.
Jan’s been in the UFC for years now. Facing tougher competition, less knockouts. Plus his power and his technique came around two years ago. He has nasty hands now.
@Jacob James Jan wont be champ by next year lol
@Jacob James Jiri or Glover both have good chances. Jan isnt unbeatable, beating Adesanya a 185er shows me nothing, Beating Rockhold and Weidman shows me nothing, souza, Cannonier, manuwa, 185ers, glass chins or 185ers with glass chins shows me nothing. Reyes was by far his best win and Corey anderson is a respectable win but Jiri beat Oezedmir and Reyes too which is equally respectable.
@@2BaSedP0l0Swagq Who tf is gonna dethrone him lol
Reyes: "I'm not fighting him, he's fighting me"
Prochazka: "Oh.... Okay"
Fun fact Jiris past 10 opponents did not have post fight interview. :D
that is fun fact I didnt know, thank you!
I take it back its not fun its soooo scary actualy..
I wouldn't say fun considering that means those guys were so messed up they couldn't speak
They were being removed from unconsciousness - in words of Jon “someone got murdered but I keep it proffesional” Anik.

The first thing I noticed about prochazka was his insane cardio.....
10 min rounds in Rizin...
@@patriksvambera3648 thats madness
cardio by definition can't be the first thing you notice
@@jamesinhenley right I noticed his hair and long as reach and said yup he wins before bell rung
@@kangokidkidd4037 and presumably a load of things to do with his fighting style before his Cardio?
Reyes did rock Jiri before attempting the guillotine. Surprised they didn’t mention it
Reyes definitely had his moments. Jiri has to go for the takedown because he was rocked
Honestly I feel Reyes could have won, but he missed the best chances.
everybody is acting like that didn’t happen
Reminded me of burns rocking usman and then lying on his back for a few minutes, big chances but they weren’t able to finish it
Did you not hear the whole you can only take so many shots argument made by DC ?
I think that kind of knock out, pressure and dominant performance will always eclipse being rocket once early in the fight, that was only for a moment yk.
Ppl should watch Jiri In rizin. He is not always so careless and can be quite sound defensively when he choosee
Maybe he changed his style to be more fun for the ufc
@@ryu-ken I dont think that he is changing anything from his fighting arsenal for fun :D
@@ryu-ken he always has some more wild fights but I cant imagine he will fight Blachowicz in this way
Jiri has great head movement, good headkick blocks, and rolls with punches very well. Jiri is like Wonderboy, old Gathje, Ferguson, Ngannou, and the Diaz brothers combined into one fighter.
@@kurthuber8665 he definitely can eat a shots like Diaz bros. Kill or be killed. And also his cardio is relate to them. They can have triathlon together and one hour of sparing right after while talkin. Freakin zombies:)
Fun fact: Jiri defeated Boyka to win his release from a Russian prison and became the UNDISPUTED champion🤣

yep
He got distracted by Jiris hair
So y’all go act like he didn’t eye poke before the ko
@@ss4vegas right you tell yourself whatever you need
his face was fcked up after first round , and Jiri had nothing that why he was so confused , also maybe the pace in second round was suprising considering Reyes did land some good hits but Jiri was still going that would suprise any fighter , Reyes had him in good hold , he landed hard upkick to his face and Jiri didn't slow down , how can you not be suprised ? :D
Something I hate though is after the fight Anik was like “Jiri you looked like a 10 year veteran in there even though you’ve only had 2 fights!” But like the dude is a beast who’s been fighting forever all over the world and they act like he just entered the game
ne asi.. ma vic zapasu nez kdokoliv tam, jirka jim prisel neco ukazat, tady neni debata kdo je nejlepsi, jen se kochejte bude to pokazdy stejny dokud jirka bude zdravej a bude se mu chtit.. ocekavam ze dojde i na francise, ale to je zatim odvazny, za dva roky nebudou vedet koho dat k jirkovi..

Yeah right. No one cares about 205.
There's some insane match ups at 205 man Prochazka vs Rakic, Rakic vs Blachowicz, Prochazka vs Blachowicz, Santos vs Reyes, Reyes vs Ankalaev, Santos vs Ankalaev etc. 205 is insane rn man I'm so excited

Funny how Jiri was surprised after the fight by the possible title shot... Almost as if he feels undeserving and in need to prove more to himself.. Amazing Warrior!
Jiri is a straight up contender. Dudes not playing. Looking forward to see this dude fight more.

only better

guys im telling u, Jiri is different . im from czech, saw everything about him. u cant stop him. he let himself even put the strongest chilli in the world in to the eye to learn breathe in the hardest situation ever... he did it after few minutes like nothing and this is only one thing.. he is real samurai. future champ no doubt about it
Rakic did nothing to deserve contender spot, two fights ago lost to Volkan who Jiri knocked out cold in his first fight. Let Jiri just prepare for Jan and then defend against Rakic if he wins title.
Did Volkan win tho?
What makes sense => JIRI VS RAKIC **(Winner fights winner of =>(JAN VS GLOVER).
Time line could be set at September, when Jan fights Glover.
Prozachka vs rakic would be sick 🔥
Rakic lost two fight ago to Volkan then had boring decision wins. He doesnt deserve it right now imo.
@@richardwagner2811 but he also won against Smith and he is nb 2 in the rankings plus we want to see jiri back in action if he is gonna wait for the winner between Jan and Glover that means we will not see him for a long time so best thing the ufc can do is to put jiri and rakoc as the Co main event for Jan and Glover and make it a five rounds like mate Diaz and Leon edwardes
Reyes was the craziest dead body moment we’ve seen in the UFC
I love DC's 💯😂 honesty because I had no idea who Jiri was before Saturday although I did see his highlights 🔥 I know him now and I'm a huge fan! 205 is back baby!
Man.. fighters like Jiri and Chandler getting title shots after one or two fights makes being a Tony Ferguson fan even tougher.
I agree but Chandler is ridiculous. Jiri just wiped the floor with the guy who just had two shots at the title
I feel like the ufc just sees Tony as a PR disaster or something and they just never wanted him as champ
I also can’t think of anyone who made an impression like jiri and chandler did though, plus they both have way more impressive records. No disrespect to Tony

Reyes peak is when he fought jones
Reyes is done his time has passed him at 205 every body too good and very skilled for him his hype train died a long time ago
Jiri is just 28 years old.
Amazing
Mr.Cormier u maybe should talk with Jiri, because he puts "shield" on his face inside of octagon, and thats reason why his chin is so "durable" !
What do you mean “shields?”
@@kurthuber8665 Ritual of protection, ancient magic which followed warriors into battles.
NEED to hear more details on DC's ear theory
Lmao at how fast some of yall dropped Jan and hopped on the Jiri train
Im for both!
Jan is cool for outclassing Adesanya
I would mention that Jiri lost to Lawal at the same night when he Defeated Nemkov, which is interesting
It's hard to judge since it was his 2nd fight that night. He later went on to KO King MO. Jiri is an exciting fighter but gets his way too much.
@@thesportsguy126 seems like he gets motivated from being hit but I agree he needs to be more cautious at times
@@ChiefKeeb502 I mean relative to the rest of the roster, Jiri isn’t getting hit that much or that bad. Ppl are like his chin isn’t going to hold up. Well, the guy has had over 30 mma fights and is fine. Plus he is only going about 2 rounds. In the span of 3-5 rounds, most fighters on the ufc roster have taken waaaay more shots and damage than Jiri in their career. They just say he gets hit a lot because of how chaotic his fights are. But if you compare him to other fighters on the roster who go those higher rounds, he isn’t getting hit that much.
jirí true samurai
DC calling Ariel Helwani white is hilarious
Shows how much a racist DC is
No one looks good after fighting Jones - and Reyes was busted up by Jones - He’s donesville!!
Only DC
Jiri vs : Jan, Rakic and Adesanya , all 3 of those opponents would be sick fights
We need a interim belt in every weight class for the fighters waiting on that title shot ufc would go crazy
I love how they started talking about ears 😂
DC having the meat sweat going.
Most RIZIN coverage I've ever seen on this show haha
Jirko jen tak dál
I think he should get winner or glover vs Jan, however I wouldn't be against him fighting rakic for top contender spot
Didn’t Dominick play football back in high school
DC, Helwani "It never happens in the UFC to fight for the title after 2 fights"
Chandler, Anderson Silva, Rampage: "I had 1 fight"
Jose Aldo, Ronda Rousey "It was my debut"
I mean, for some of these people their divisions were so underdeveloped and the UFC competition was on par or better in some cases.
But yeah, not really unprecedented. Eddie Alvarez lost a fight and then won two split decisions and was given a title shot.
@@seanmatthewking Yeah man that's the worst title shot in the history of the ufc after 2 split decision thankfully conor became the first 2 division simultaneous champion cause of Eddie weakest lightweight champion in the history of ufc
Fun fact : Jiri´s win over Nemkov and his loss in his first match ws in one day :-D And two days after another match, so 3 matches in 3 days...
Ariel..can u try to adjust audio..mybe little louder? Pls...
Would apriciate
I keep thinking n sayin the game has caught up with bones and he knows it which is why he's lookin to cash out on his legacy and fair play to him cuz there to many savaged in that division lookin to take his legacy for free!!
This is hilarious. I guarantee if Jones stayed at light heavyweight and beat these guys you’d still be saying he’s ducking heavyweight.

Don’t disrespect Jiri like that.
Almost pissed my pants DC is so funny
Lol. The 👂 comment is on point.
It was a good elbow before the spin that hurt him
Guess it doesn’t make sense but would love to see Jiri vs Santos 🔥
How about Reyes vs Santos? That's a better fight
Jiri looks like he's always trying to challenge the space-time limits. How he fights makes me think of how I play Counter-strike for randomness, surprise and ultra-agression(for dread).
No body is mentioning that Jiri is getting BETTER at dodging and slipping punches. Look at his first ufc fight and then this one. He's only worked on it for 3 or 4 months and has already gotten a lot better at not taking damage. Imagine if he keeps getting better with his timing and head movement for a year or two.. dude is going to be untouchable
Dude, he’s been working on it for 10 years. He hasn’t lost in the last 5 years.
He will be the next champ. No doubt
JIRI IS COMING
THE BOOGEYMAN OF LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT
Would love to see Jiri vs Jones some time
jiri reminds me of micheal chnadler in the sense that he's been running through the top guys just never got into the ufc until recently
He declined UFC 2x, he just wanted to take Rizin title first and defende it once. Now UFC LHW belt and maybe MW and HW belts too!
Izzy-hype screwed up this timeline. Jan vs Glover should've happened already
Bro we love DC🤣😭
DC called Phillips a young guy and Ariel had to adjust his glasses to make sure he heard DC correctly. 😂

If Jiri wins the belt against Jan, I want Jon to come down and fight him. It will be the epic battle of three J’s!!!
It’s crazy because he lost to King mo the first fight because he got tired and got knocked out and won the second on because he was well trained and conditioned
I think he had several fights that night before including the crazy fight against nemkov
@@trubkadefekt3645 wow that’s something I didn’t know interesting, he might run through the ufc with that type of cardio
@@djtoobrazy6963 yeah he might unless he gets ko´d because of his crazy risk taking style lol

I want to see Prochazka vs. Ankalaev
Jiri is a beast already beat nemkov who is bellator title holder ufc threw him to the wolves with volkan and reyes and he swamped them. He needs a belt immediately
I'd like to see him against Rakic. Rakic will try to take him down and i wanna see how he handles getting taken down and fight off his back.
To me I think Reyes should consider going to 185 if he could make it there and if he doesn't continue to improve at light hw in the UFC or join a MMA organization were you could juice up and still fight at 205.
I believe Reyes is going to be a top 5 fighter in the UFC light hw division but I don't think he has any chance chance of winning the Belt for a while unless if Jan is there and even this fighter Prochazka, maybe he could beat Rakic but I'm not so sure about that either, for sure he has greater chance of beating Glover but at the same time I'm not going to underestimate Glover too much because he is legit in his own rights but if Glover is the only one he a great chance vs then I just don't see Reyes winning that light hw belt any time soon for sure.
This would be a bad idea. Dom is pretty big for the division and doesn't look like he could cut much. If he did starve himself and beat anyone in 185, what's his reward? A losing point battle with Israel? Jones is no joke. Jan is no joke. And Jiri is no joke. He's had a bad run but that's what happens when you reach the top. Your competition is that much harder
Jiri reminds of the guy '' Techno Viking".
Rakic vs Reyes is the fight to make
Just proves these guys don't watch Rizin, atleast DC was real about it. Vadim was piecing Jiri up in their fight till his cardio gave up coz Rizin has a 10 minute first round!!!
Edit: And even though Jiri is on this streak and I love his style, those guys had Jiri all figured out and all of them took him down frequently,he solely won some of those fights due to his cardio and striking game from bottom position.
facts
That was 3 or 4 years ago. Since then he got better in grappling. He was always good on the floor though. Even when he was in his most reckless and careless times and was offering his neck to opponents for choking on a daily basis he was always able to get out of the worst positions even against very good wrestlers - and those were his bad days. I guess he would be a very good on the floor today, at least that's what he suggested in today's interview, where he said that just because he likes stand up striking game more doesn't mean people should underestimate his grappling.
Daniel 'the GOAT' Cormier
Prochazka vs Santos sound pretty cool
Reminds me of floki from vikings

Height doesn't change after puberty (well, if anything we get shorter as we age) but ears and noses are always lengthening. That's due to gravity, not actual growth. As you age, gravity causes the cartilage in your ears and nose to break down and sag. This results in droopier, longer features.
