Bisping looking at Jiri like a proud uncle.
Vai apanhar de novo.
How can you not love Jiri. Just a gem of the sport. I wish him all the best in his potential rematch with Alex.
i think Bisping has Czech blood too
Vai apanhar de novo.
Jiri is such a real dude. His english is coming a long so well, he rambles a bit but he's such an interesting character. Wish him nothing but the best, and love watching him fight.
Yeah, it's super tough to try and express complex things - life philosophy, your business vision etc. - without being next to fluent in a language. But he did good.
Great to see this interview. many people in Czech republic don't understand how many mma stars and legends are now close to Jiri. How popular is he worldwide how many popular youtuber are out of their mind seeing Jiri fighting. I live just 25 miles from Jiri's cabin and it is very interesting to watch czech fans and fans from UK, US. Totaly different worlds.
Honest question, is there a big UFC/MMA following in your country? I am curious after reading your comment
@@tehlurfry679 I think it's getting better and better, but still the majority of people don't understand it well and still have some prejudices. But like I said it's getting better and better, big reason for this is Jiří himself. My opinion.
@@tehlurfry679 MMA is pretty big. Not the number 1 sport, but Oktagon MMA has been working hard for years and plans to fill a football stadium this summer. But I think regular people seem more interested in watching Jiri than the whole UFC.
from what I've seen, czech are low affect to a crazy extent
f
Asking if the Czechs have their own beer is like asking the Americans if they have burgers. Come on, Bisping.
Tbf I had no idea Budweiser was from there🤯
There is Czech Budweiser original and way better and American replica.😂
@@alisoyupak2730sure also Pilsner Urquel.Etc Etc,,, btw Budweiser (Budějovický Budvar ) is in ownership of the Czech state.
@@alisoyupak2730 Well the American Budweiser was founded by guy that visited Czech Republic and tasted Czech Budweiser and when he came back to the US he wanted to replicate the beer but only thing he could replicate was the name .... and they are still in dispute over the name till this day.
Beer was named after a city where it was brewed ( Budweiss) now called České Budějovice
Czech budweiser is sold in the US under the name of Czechvar.
Jiri, a great fighter and an interesting dude.
Focused mind makes all the difference.
I can count on my hand the number of truly "alive" people on this planet and Jiri is one of them. What an icon and possibly one of the most influential people in my life right now. I am thankful to be here watching his career unfold.
I totally get what you see, something about his aura and what he brings to a room is special. I just wish I could understand the Czech language and hear his thoughts come out naturally, even though his english is getting better each interview…
Bipsping and Jiri,all respect
Great interview with the Bushido!
Very well spoken individual.
He's committed and remains following the path of mastery.
In every interview he essentially retells the same responses.
So I know he speaks of conviction and integrity.
A man of virtue who fights not for monetary means, but legacy and the art of the craft.
Very glad that he got the W on 300.
Inching him closer back to the throne.
With that said, I'm glad he's coming around to admitting the match with Alex was an early stoppage.
Same what many of us have been saying.
Here's to amending the wrongs in a rematch down the road.
In time. .
✊⚡⚔️
Jiri still stewing over that marc goddard stoppage and wants that one back with pereira man's got a point..
It was an early stoppage, and there is no denying it. Fighters lose their legs over big shots and other officials like Herb and Jason give them chances to fight back.
It was an early stoppage but Alex was in a better position where he could've done GNP and still would've ended the fight. Should they run that back ? Sure .
Man, you saw the shots that jamahal get after on ground? Pereira would put Jiri on hospital after that vicious elbows + ground and pounding.
@@1est1yeah, the gnp was so vicious that Hill is fighting a month later. Poatan's power is very overrated. All you have to do is avoid the left hook and counter him with a punch to the chin and he's out
@@IdontKnow-gm7euI wish the UFC had Steve Mazzagatti as a referee for these big hyped up fights.
1:09 bisping was thinking “conceive believe achieve” 😂😂😂
Great interview bisping!
Jiri you beast!!!
Lmao the amount of edits because Jiri drags on is hilarious. Nothing against him, i think its awesome that hes learning english. Just noticed quite a bit of edits is all
well that is the way he speaks, even in Czech it is not much faster. Rogan is gonna have a good time when he finally invites him
well its good to see he is willing to learn and engage
Edits r too jarring, imo
Yeah, I was wondering about a lot of those there were so many along with just stutters. It was hard to tell if the stutters were actually stutters.
Dana to Middleweight fighters: guys let me introduce to you a new colleage. His name his Jiří, he has more finishes than fights and he is coming from the LHW.
Bro could jiri even make middleweight? ... it's going to hard for him kinda like what happened to TJ Dillashaw
@@JeromeLee-wf8ws He said he can make it quite easily. His normal weight is only slightly higher than LHW limit, so he doesn't need to do a big weight cut.
Probably not cuz he is not cutting almost any weight in lhw so he can just adjust his diet little but and he will be good @@JeromeLee-wf8ws
@@JeromeLee-wf8ws Alex made MW and he bigger than Jiri
@@JeromeLee-wf8ws Alex Pereira did it and look how huge is and eve was there so i guess Jiri could also
Asking if czech republic has its own beer is crazy lol
yeah, i'm kind of offended :))
Jiri a great fighter and person 💪 interesting interview
I love the diffrence between mikes reaction to Jiris samurai claims and Rockwells samurai claims. Jiris right, hes not a samurai, after that Vietnamese liquor hes a lizard samurai lol
He couldn't get WiFi in the cabin he goes to lol
You say that like it's a bad thing
we lived without wifi and it was even greater
Jiri is awesome, I regret we never got the fight between him and Jan , true Czech vs Pol showdown in a good meaning of the word. Respect Jiri! You are the Man
It may still happen tbh, sadly I hope Janek is the same after the shoulder surgeries. Also I hate to see either of them lose.
@@captaindavison2601 I agree but would be awesome to see it whatever the outcome
@@Kornick81 100%, our slavic boys
First fight against Pereira was indeed early stoppage for title fight ,sure maybe it would make no difference but it was still early stoppage for such a huge fight lets run it back
Let's run it back at 301 Brazil. UFC cmon, then if Poatan wins, he can measure his power with others, but give Jiri second run for that stoppage.
Thanks Micheal for interwiev.great job.and thanks Jiri.good luck.
This was a early stopage of course.
in every tournament there are many fights where fighters get more chances to get back into the fight.on the prelims too.and Jiri is the king of returns.the main fight in NY deserved more.

What a great interview 👏 insightful we got to see and learn more about this special fighter...congrats Mike top performance.
Beautiful interaction. Cheers mate.
It was not a perfect storm, but it was a STOOORM!
Honor in defeat. Honor is victory. Jiri is a true Samurai that embodies the Bushido spirit. He lives by the code and dies by the code. In a sport full of fake clout chasers like Sean Strickland, it's refreshing to see truly Honorable men like Jiri shine.❤
Spit that milk out now
Sean is so real that all the aussies cheered for him instead of Izzy...
Sean Strickland is real .. no sugarcoat in Sean
Sean is a psycho but he is real I'd say
He's certainly got the striking pedigree, and ground game is on point... he just needs to keep the hands up 🤔 he'd be an absolute unit... as good as he already is. Minor adjustments, etc...
I am a big Prochazka fan 💯
And he's so humble, too!
Love from 🏴 💪
Best of luck going forward 👍
Great interview Bisping, enjoyed the outside of the box questions.🙌
Great Interview
Jiri is the man
Great interview. I’m a bigger fan of Jiri now. Thanks Bisping for the awesome interview and hopefully more to come.
Perfect interview :)
Nice interview, thanks!
Clearly mike’s favourite (non uk) fighter right now and rightfully so! Good interview and what afighter Jiri is!!
These are good lessons!
Michael was a fan of Jiri from the start. Thank you for this nice relationship you have. Big fan of both from CZech Rep
Great interview for a great fighter. Good job mikey b
Jiri is such a nice bloke and very noble and honest. He's almost too nice because when Poatan was trying to smash his skull I didn't like it, I felt really sorry for him. Then for him to admit the ref was right after we all protested shows the character of the guy. Nobody in the UFC is as Samurai as Jiri. Hope he always wins.
Loved this 👌
M. Bisping is doing a great job, great interview, thank for that mate
I love every interview between Jiří and Michael. Mr Bisping have real feelings about Mr Prochazka. God bless
people need more influencers with personality of Jiri's period
13:25 ...Bisping manages to bring up himself constantly. Even shows his own highlights in an interview with Jiri lol
Well... it's his channel. What's wrong with that ?
9:40 most mature thing ive heard in long time. of course thats true for all of us, but someone like bisping saying it is great !
Loved the respect
Any Jiri fight is a must watch
Great interview
the head movement was crazy towards the end against Rakic. Looked like Prince Naseem in there
bob and weave meets eastern martial arts
Huge Jiri fan and he deserves a title shot
I'm also a huge Pereira fan
so if it happens..
May the best man win!
Im such fan man. Warrior, class, and respect the man is a true original in the sport.
Jiri is an original guy for sure and i love to watch him fight in the cage then kind of fight with expression of the words in English 😅he's great and i look forward to seeing him fight in the not too distant future.Thanks for having jiri on the channel Mr.Bisping
Proves it's about the love of competition to Jiri !!! Dude just banked well over a quarter milli 2 weeks ago !! And willing too lace um up 1 month after he just fought a killa !! Let's Gooo Jiri !!
~VICTORY~
I hope he brings up Jiri's fight with the parking garage vending machine. I just want to hear Bisping pronounce it "garriage" lol
Where can I watch the full 2 hour video without the cuts?
So proud of Jiri and how he represent our country 👏👏👏
The nicest interview of jiri right now
Much love and Respect to Jiri ❤❤
I hope that you can start covering PFL as well. I think they are just as good fighters as UFC but more fun because of the tournament format and the better representation of weight classes. Thanks
Temporarily unconscious = TKO. That was a good stoppage right on point. He wasn't even defending himself. We see people getting TKO'd on their feet and people are fine with it. How crazy is that
I agree, but looking at the fight several times, each and every times there is a part of me that’s feeling he could’ve let it a little longer cause it didn’t seemed Jiri was really out.
But hey, I have no doubt Alex could do it again in a cleaner manner, just think Jiri is an animal and I would have been fine if ref waited more.
A lot fights in the past has been like that aljo vs o malley had similar ending
He was defending.After he got dropped by the hook he immediatle shots an instinctive takedown. That is intelligently defending although he was rocked and did not have the strentgth to finish it and fell after the elbow strikes but it was too soon to be called.Maybe one or two clean shots and you call it. But those who know Jiri , hes been in the game for a long time and although hes style is not a grappler he does have some great sweeps , very explossive bridge sweeps and Alex inexperience on the ground compared to Jiri could get himself reversed potentially. Alex probably still wins the fight but the stoppage early, Pereira still deserves credit for the win. I would love to see a rematch.
Thank you Michael, thank you Jiri !!!
"Clear foods" 😂 its a clear trap 😂❤
Jiri has got to be one of if not the most likable person on the UFC roster
Jiri should definitely train in the USA more.
20:48 worst picture tenderloin sauce as an example😂🥲
Jiri is going to have to learn to protect that lead leg if even stands a chance.
Jiri truly is a G
"We all need to be inspired by something" is the best message ❤ //\\
Love jiri ❤🔥
Great man Jiri! Talk about birds of a feather! You two look like brothers from anothA mothA for sure Mike and Jiri!!!
Good genes
Bisping so locked in while listening to Jiri 😳 😅
Jiri a beast of a fighter
And quality human being.
I like Jiri but let's be honest after watching him fight Rakic there's no way he should be fighting Alex next let alone on two weeks notice. If he does he's only gonna get slept a lot quicker than the first time. He was fighting recklessly and his chin was up there to be hit all day, Rakic did land some good shots imagine instead of Rakis it's Alex landing those shots it's night night.
Next time Jiri fights Alex, If he can bring out a shaolin monk or something along the lines to stand with/behind him at the face off..it will be so epic
JIRI was not done vs Alex. I believe he was gonna win
Jiri is the man!
In some way DDP is just MW version of Jiri and I would love to see that fight in the future
I would say first Ankalayev vs Jiri then winner with pereira
They want ankalaev x periera but jiri dont have any opponent now
well, that was a good one ;)
Changing tune saying early stoippage is so funny when he already said he was out.
he explained multiple times that yes he was out and at that time, the stoppage was good from the point of the referee. But he also proved many times that he's able to regain consciousness quickly and come back so there was a chance the fight would continue. And maybe he wouldn't come back. What's so hard to understand about this that people have to constantly keep bringing this up.
Jiri where do I go online to buy a shirt from your lineup?
Bjp store
You know the funny thing? Both Jiri and Bobby Green went out twice and suffered the same amount of unanswered blows to the head.
The difference? The way that they fell. Green landed spread out and Jiri on his knees. And the truly massive difference? One was being hit by a LW and another was mounted by the hardest hitter in UFC.
Jiri had already passed out twice when the ref called it. The G&P that Hill took would look silly close to what would have happened to Jiri with Pereira fully mounted
💪
JIRI PROCHAZKA is a man of honor, a true worrior of light!✌💪
🔥💯
Jiri is the fuckin man. Truly tryin to change consciousness of the whole world so that the world can be better and we can all have purpose and live fufilling lives
❤🔥
Jiri Is such a beast
Great guy Juri.
⚡💯
Jiří ❤
I want to see Pereira vs Pavlovich before Alex vs Tom
The Russian is fighting Volkov .....
@@JeromeLee-wf8ws the Russian is indeed fighting the Russian lol I am just pointing out the fact that; as a fan, I would like to see Alex vs Pav before Alex vs Tom. Either fighter wins, its huge for either man, and for the UFC. Plus I would like to see Pereira vs a mainly striking HW before setting up the Aspinal fight. Makes more sense to me because we can all see Pereiras prospects as a HW, let him build his resume in the weightclass, and give the fans a banger. For Pav, it gives him a chance to reinsert himself in the division with a win over a huge name. Either way it has all of the story and talent to give the fans great fights and make the promotion a lot of money. No matter who wins a hypothetical Pav vs Pereira fight, there is money and history to be made for the fighters and the company
@@tehlurfry679 I agree I Liked your comment but then realized Povlovich had a fight coming up .. would be a good fight
@@JeromeLee-wf8ws 100%, appreciate you, just making my case💯🤙
Jiri is one of a kind. UFC hold on to him
Alex Poatan lives rent free in Jiri, Bisping and Hills heads😂😂😂
Jiri is still samurai to me, damnit
"Five years ago there was no leg kick. One week ago I realised there is a leg kick" gotta love the guy roasting himself 🤣
jiri deserves the rematch
Stop casual bullcrap He doesnt. He is 1 win and 1nloss last 2 years and has just 4 wins in ufc.
3rd title Match is ridiculius.
Ankalaev has earned first
Jiri was out from the elbows, landed with Pereira in full mount, Goddard saved him from a nasty and unnecessary beating. Jiri vs Jamahal or Khalil.
@@zoro8117why do you act like the dude didn’t lost to just one man on the way to becoming a legend, Pereira, in the past 9 years. And with 26 kos out of 30 wins.
I’m fine with ankalaev having the title shot first, but don’t try to pretend Jiri didn’t deserved to be at the fucking top of the contenders 😂
@@alexf268 lol counting wins frlm other organizations is not a good Look.
Jiri is 4 wins in ufc and 1 loss and would have 3rd title fight. I just state facts mate.
Ankalaev def. Deserves it way more. Thats the only point that matters
@@zoro8117 The only time Jiri fought outside of top 5 was #6 in his Debut. sit down
cool
When I saw the Thumbnail my thought was "FUCK Yeah, they both will match perfect!" Jiři likes Bisping, only thinks we're I had to laugh was when Mike asked him about the Brand BJP , he must have thought while Jiři talking , "Conceive,Achieve,believe....shut the fuck up ,man! " 😅
I hope to see Jiri as a champion again
Man, this is ridiculous. From the day when Bisping was mocking Rockhold for Samurai BS, he now listens as a pupil :-D This is golden.
Conceive, believe, achieve! :-D :-D :-D
I think Michael really like Jiri so much.
We don't make excuses and credit Alex but you have to put that fight into context. Jiri came into the fight at 20%, coming off of devastating shoulder surgery, had a bad weight cut, got caught with a lucky shot, and suffered from an early stoppage. Jiri is an Honorable man and a true warrior and Samurai. We know if the fight continued Jiri would have won. Alex got lucky against a severely compromised man. Not hating at all though, congrats.
Based on that logic, Jiri got lucky fighting Rakic with a huge lay off of 2 years
Do not do Jiri or yourself a disservice by being so delusional and making rubbish excuses.
Jiri was out from the elbows, landed with Pereira in full mount, Goddard saved him from a nasty and unnecessary beating.
Jiri would not support this comment
A month before the fight with Alex, he had an ear infection, he was on antibiotics, he only trained for one week in that month, he told Ariel about it, he won't mention it anymore.
@@mickeymomighty5660 alex was in trouble despite jiri not being 100%. Alex would get smashed if ever the rematch would happen.
