"I am fighting to show the beauty of martial arts. That's all."
Jiri is so fuckin badass
Haaaappppppyw biirtttthhdaaay
Thats how it ahould be.and to show respect for the game and your opponent
ya, that's all, lol :D
This man is a absolute inspiration for me. One of those fights where I don’t want to see either guy lose
It's a shame one has to lose this fight.
Rip Jiri
@@samjones8126 yeah I like both guys a lot
What do you make of Cartman losing his house and having to stay in a hot dog?...ohhh yes,and getting boob implants smh
True martial artists 🙌
Jiri’s English has gotten so much better. That goes far when reaching out to fans.
He’s going to be huge in the North American market if he wins this fight.
Was thinking the exact same thing. Well said.
You can see him trying hard to figure out the correct words to say too. Hope he wins
@@viktorcheng2061 He has been learning English for about two years ... that's not bad at his age
@Snakejüce No he isn’t lol. Casual fans have no idea who Jiri is. Hell, Glover isn’t even a household name and he’s been around forever.
That’s why it’s so important for guys like Jiri to learn a new language when trying to breakout in new markets. Doors open.
Lol I’m the biggest Jiri fan but he will not be huge. No one will be huge without shit talk, that’s the only way to get all fans excited and to get the casuals interested. Unless Jiri gets an opponent who talks a lot of shit to him then maybe he can get a bigger following from ko’ing that guy
I love Jiri, what an inspiring human. He’s very unintentionally funny too haha I love MMA
Why you gotta be gay about it?
Nah
@@jcnunya8162 yah
Notice him and bisping pronounce buddy like BUDDAYH 😂😂 cool interview
yes
Gotta also love the effort these fighters make on learning english. I can see Jiri improved his english a lot
man, i want jiri to become champ soo bad. i think glover is gonna win though 😢
Daily practice for sure,even from last year it’s doubled
@@fanofmma100 Shut up Peter!
@@fanofmma100 noob
Makes you realize how disrespectful it is for a guy like Charles Oliveira to have not learned to speak English after over a decade in the UFC. Classless
How can you not like this guy? Prochazka is the human embodiment of class and discipline... AND NEW!
who doesn't like him?
@@RahulKumar-nh3wc nobody it’s the horrible comments on every video
@@RahulKumar-nh3wc some people still underestimate him because they think he hasn’t faced enough challenges yet for a belt.
oh shut up bobby what do you know
@Master General fighting is anyone's sport as long as they are fighting the same gender
I really wish they would be more patient with Jiri as he is responding. Re-asking questions while he is processing and talking over him while he is answering must be extremely frustrating for him while he is trying his best to speak English.
I agree
A few of the times they thought he didn't understand though and tried to rephrase differently
Very true
Yeah they suck just let the guy speak ffs
I’m inspired by how strong minded he is.
It’s very hard to learn a new language and he excelled in that department
This dude is unique, calm. Calm is dangerous, I believe he is goin to have the belt. But man Glover, what a journey tht man has had. And if he chokes this man out, goin to shake the world lol.
Unique is calm. Calm is dangerous, dangerous is lethal, lethal is fast, you are gay. Stfu
Is it? Glover has been on a long win streak vs. the UFC's best.
This man understands. Calm is dangerous. A cold blooded killer whose heart rate doesn't even go up after ending a life is an example. Calm also means you're unshakeable. Your brain won't go into chaos.
Kind of gives the same vibes in his demeanour as Fedor Emelianenko
If glover wins it’ll be ground breaking tbh
What a superstar jiri is. keeps everyone hooked at all times.
I can't stop staring at his antenna. Steve Rogers Samurai
Just needs to clean up his English a bit more. Thats the only thing holding him back
@@emailmailson6089 I was gona say this. If he learns more English he will be a superstar no doubt
@Master General Not true. Look at the Vikings, they had shieldmaidens.
If you dont like Valentina Schevchenko, then you are just a casual who dont know anything about technique.
Meaning you dont know anything about the sport either
@@vipr1142 shieldmaiden is folklore and mythology. There has never been prove of this
They should really adjust their questions when speaking to people who arent that good with their english. hey ask such long winded questions and then dont give him much time to think or to even speak his answers.
still seems like his english has gotten much better which is nice.
seriously they show no respect or allowance to people who aren't native english speakers it's insane
DC and Bisping did a great job reexplaining the questions being asked when they saw Jiri struggling a bit with the answer.
Bisping needs to stfu and listen
Huh?
They were extremely patient with him. Stop being sensitive or looking for insults when there not there. What probably happened is they overestimated his English. Sanko and Gooden(?) were speaking at a pace too fast for him. Mike and DC understood pacing because there around more non-english speaking people.
@@x80five50 ok casual
Jiri: I’m self confident, I dont need trashtalk
Bisping: you wanna say I was scared while fighting?
Jiri: you gotta know yourself.
Glover also said, its the calm guys who brings the fight.
Meaning Jiri will bring the fight and it will be a banger
Jiri: "I'm crazy normally.."
Us: "Yeah we know Jiri" Thank god for that samurai book 😂
Agreed 🤣🤣🤣
Haha exactly :D
😂😂😂
True that, that book made a difference between being in ufc title fight opposed to serving jail time 😅
We haven't seen Jiri use flying knees in the UFC yet but man I'm thinking he's got it in store for this fight....
Throw a flying knee and you will be on your back. Not a good place to be against Glover.
@@MMABones I agree but Jiri is a risk taker and believe we see him utilize knees and uppercuts in this spot
Same here. I think he uses his knee when Glover attempts double leg TS
Since UFC debut? Lol he's only had 2 fights with the UFC so far
@@moneyman8772 I meant to say since debuting in the ufc, prior to fighting in the ufc there’s a lot of tape on him attempting flying knees. Nothing in ufc so far
there isn't another fighter like this man he's a beast
At 3:54 screams intensity and how determined and dangerous this guy is.
True and if his English gets better he could express himself more
I read the book of five rings, after learning about and watching Jiri. It taught me that alot of wisdom from 1000s of years ago very much applies to today.
All real wisdom is timeless ✨️
100s of years*
Jiri is a huge guy look at him sitting next to Mike and DC, HE IS HUGE!
While he probably was at only 95 or 96kg, i am honestly surprised how big he looks compared to Mike who's about the same weight, at DC who is certainly above 100
Yeah he looks the same as DC or bigger. Strange considering DC is like 240.
He has a bigger structure and bone density and also the height .
He is long AF.😁
@@martinasrna1108 Pause 😂
One of the scariest dudes I've seen. I legitimately thought he was gonna kill Reyes. Absolutely absurd how he didn't back down from Dom and took that man's soul.
The way Reyes fell on his head tho! Ouch
He fought like an animal hunting a human...
Jiri, truest Martial Artist since GSP.
Much respect from Germany. 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
🇨🇿👍danke
This guy is exactly what the ufc needed
I love how Mike translates the kilos into pounds for us Americans :)
speak for yourself man, not all Americans are illiterate when it comes to metrics
And those brits weigh themselves in stones, ffs. Gtfo eh!
@@codychickadee5095 true 🤣🤣
@@codychickadee5095 at least they don't measure stuff with their feet.
Just multiple the kilos by 2.2 and that’s how you get the pounds.
he is one special person
jose aldo best win is a bum who got ktfo by a 135er who did aldo beat no bums included little weak aldo couldn't succeed as a double champ he was never even a champ how you be a champ without beating a champ weak aldo
@@hellotron9118 he got koed in 13 second and people actally dare to compare him to the great khabib
^These two are trolls, Khabib and Aldo are both all time greats
@@KayZee82965 im not a troll im a realist. aldo fought bums untill he faced conor mcgregor who exposed him
@@RUARI-mi1yt He's literally still beating contenders at the age of 35 tf are you on about
It was a proud moment when Glover won the belt, but this will be the ceremonial event where the true king of the light heavyweights is crowned. This is something special we are witnessing and soon the whole world will know.
Jiri is 😎 but don’t sleep on Glover!
@@catd2483 🛌
Jiří jsme s tebou všichni ! Z celého srdce mu přeju velké vítězství, bude to válka 🇨🇿🙏🏼 We are taking over LHW, lets go to war⚔️
BJP !
no way bro called george😂
Let’s go Czech!!
who is George?
All the best to your guy. Jiri is a beast💪🏻💪🏻
He’s so much more experienced than anyone knows his self awareness can be seen from a mile away
One of those rare fights , where you're happy with either fighter winning 🔥🔥🔥
and sad for whoever loses
@@paytonderksen7992 sadly yeah 😥
Lagrimas de felicidad y tristeza...
Props to Jiri from USA on being the Czech Republic's first title challenger. 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you!
He is the future GOAT. Remember my words.
🌪⚡️BJP💣
GSP calling jiri the future ufc champion
I hope Jiri Prochazka breaks the curse
Jones and DC would have destroyed this guy, sorry but it's true
@@Shozupz present ufc champ LETS GOOOO
Pure warrior vibes from Jiri
I hope he breaks the curse of older fighter's becoming champion besides Jon Jones
You can tell Jiri had wisdom in his body language but cant deliver it properly by words, i know he tries his best for us so we can understand what his message is, especially his message about ourselves, you represent yourself no need to do trashtalking, let all of your ability and crazy personality speak in the ring outside of it is pure respect no hate just love for the beauty of martial art, i do love Glover to stay champ for awhile but i'm rooting for Jiri on this one🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hes different. True martial artist by spirit
He has some deep philosophical thoughts too.
How not to like this guy?
I love Glover but man,I will be happy for this sweet soul Jiri too.
Vítězství!
I like this guy, he seems genuine.
This is what a champion sounds like! So down to earth, this man is what martial arts is about..
Powodzenia Jiri 💪🏼🇵🇱❤️🇨🇿
💗
All of Europe is supporting jiri I think, me too🇨🇿🇦🇱
Jooo kurvaaaa jiřiii a sivsanons
Any chance of watching UFC live in some pub in Kraków? I'm travelling there right now.
@@ElHal04 Agreed 🇨🇿🇭🇷
Both great people. Jiri and Glover
Whos here after he just won the title? FIGHT OF THE YEAR!!!!
Watching this after the Glover fight hits different, what a warrior.
We love Jiri from our country his whole career for his behaviour, im glad that now whole world see and like him
I love Glover and wish him all the best but i think Jiri would make a great champ!A champ that would challenge himself a lot like Izzy! Would be amazing!
Others have said it but seeing how they interview people from all over the world, they need to learn how to ask straight forward questions in concise English. They ask questions in such a long winded, round about way that it is impossible for non-native speakers who are still learning to understand what they are saying. This is a skill but they need to train their interviewers or get people who are comfortable working internationally and who know what kind of English is needed. Really anyone with a year of international business experience should be able to do this...
The ufc literally picks to best people to work for them. Like who doesn’t love DC and Bisping and Joe Rogan
Jiri is a great spokesperson for self-control. His understanding of the Martial Arts is apparent. As my first Sifu once said to me, "Joshua, the ESSENCE of the Martial Arts is NOT found in violence, but in learning to control One's ENTIRE Self!"
Jiri has a huge heart and even exposes his tactics to give a genuine answer. For example, when he gave the answer of what he will weigh on fight night, now Glover if he wants to press wrestling, can fill back up a bit heavier and try to win the takedown war. But the point is, Jiri is so genuine, this is someone i want to see win.
its as if hes so confident that he doesnt care to reveal
@@fredp1983 He is at peace and sees all outcomes and knows the path he must take to achieve victory.
@@Jstrelts he did not know the way, but trusted that he would find it. and so he did :O
What a guy! Thats what I missed since Khabib retired. Straight Edge guy no matter if it’s because of one is Muslim and the other Christian, just inspiring in terms of Martial Arts and showing this humble love to the sport👍🏽🆙
Why did you bring religion into it though?
Whatever Jiris views he is an inspiration for sure
All the vets sharing a laugh at the end, the best 👌🏾
Very Humble Composed person With his dedication discipline he will become champion either this weekend or sometime down the line
I'm in love with this man's mind.
Glover is an absolute legend in my book, but I don’t see any body beating Jiri 😁 should be a very exciting fight! Pumped for this one 👊
I have read lots of sports take off in Singapore. Fan base is already huge. Seeing this Talk Show format to keep promoting this fight is awesome salesmanship on UFC's part. I couldn't stop watching and listened to every word
whenever he talks I have this delay of breathing... like I'm so soooo soooooo excited and pumped up..
5:54 bisping being fellow european xD
Fight before people. 😂 i love JIRI. BJP 🔥🔥🙏🏻
I think this guy has the persona of an Apex Predator and the eyes of a killer and I don't mean that in a negative way because his spirit and philosophy on life keeps the beast in check and keeps him hyper aware. What is crazy is for me is that I came to this conclusion before I finished watching the video and then he says the same thing in his own words during the course of the interview. I am officially fan now, I don't consider myself someone who can read people very well so this speaks significantly to the genuine nature and transparency of the man and his character. His take on the challenge ahead in Glover is spot on in my opinion, we will see if he is ready on fight night. I think he can do it but he must manage distance and the in fighting of Glover. Looking forward to the fight!! Best of luck to both guys!!
Dude is fucking big. Man look at him next to Daniel and Michael.
If Jiri stays patient and defends the takedown effectively he will find a way to win.
Thanks sherlock
This man is incredible 🙌
Thank you! 🍻🙋
"I'm good with myself"... That's something I've heard Glover & Jiri say in these interviews. They've also likened it to being confident. That's awesome stuff. Let's be good without ourselves guys and it wouldn't matter what life throws at us...🙏💯
Given the time period, he has adjusted to English very well, well spoken despite a few stutters here and there and very humble, I like this dude alot can't wait to see that belt wrapped around him
His English is improving a lot
Jiri is a gangster
I love this guys mind set. True lover of traditional martial arts and living his dream. Win or lose, am really looking forward to this guys career💕
Did not know about Jiri until the Reyes fight and I am a big Reyes fan....Now, after watching Jiri and his story ~ I can appreciate him and am becoming a fan!
Jiri is Miyamoto Musashi reincarnated
He’s gonna need to catch him early and not get taken down.
I agree,he's gonna look to use top control,inflict some damage & tire Jiri out.
Jump knee ko is my personal prediction. I guess we'll know tomorrow :D
He trained a lot of wrestling and physical strength training ahead of this fight. For all we know he's now capable of just stopping the grappling attempts altogether.
Imagine he submits Glover. Everyone at 205 will then either move up or down a weight 😂
@@netwatch7261 I hope
why early? Jiri's cardio is like 50% better than Glovers
Wow this guy is amazing! He’s so honest! He was so real! Good luck to him! I’m worried about Ankalaev..
The improvement in his English since his last fight is absolutely insane. Good luck Jiri 💯
Sme za tebou Jirko!!!
I fear for Glover. I am afraid Jiri is going to break things in Glover's body, not least of it his will to fight again. I hope it is quick.
U sound crazy..jiri is a beast but glover been top 10 for like a decade. Relax
@@freudgv Yeah so? Jiri is a really big and powerful dude, his knock out rate in Rizin is like 96 % percent or so. 28 year olds like Jiri are in their physical prime and have strength advances over 42 year olds like Glover.
Glover is definitely going unconscious, he's also just too old to be a champ, his body or chin will break.
As crazy as it may sound Jiri Prochazka has truly inspired me and made me want to better my life. 🇨🇿 💪
You can tell Bisping loves him, just the way he talks about him on podcasts and such and the way hes helping him with the correct words and such
I see very good improvement in your English in comparison with first talks in UFC. I love you work on it!!! //\\ just look at guys from Brazil that are in UFC for a while and still need translator … shame on them ;-)
3:02 Jiri by uppercut ko?? We've seen Glover get caught with it before
Yeah I noticed that aswell. Subliminal counters being shown there by Jiri??
I'm so jacked up for this fight. Martial arts is on display to the fullest Saturday!
Damn man stayed true to his word. I’m a big fan now
Easy win for Jiri
Jiri is LHW Tony Ferguson
Ye but even more explosive. Maybe tony at 170 would look more simular
He's way better bro.
Jiri does really well with the way they worded these questions
I dig Jiri's tude and WOW, what a get down to work and as DC says, "...like an avalanche breaking...."
He's kinda special
Why does Bisping look like he’s wearing his daughters pants
Skinny jeans should be illegal for men.
He is definitely a super interesting person guys like him are great for the sport hope he gets it done tommorow
This man is turning into my favorite fighter as we speak. Max Holloway is my favorite fighter. But this guy is climbing the list. He's awesome
No way that journalists asked Jiri a difficult question knowing his native language is not English. Connect with the fighter so he knows what you’re trying to say not to show off your vocabulary
Sean Johnson Exactly sir , thanks
Exactly what I said in my last video. He’s going to need to establish dominance early.
jose aldo lost to moraes and people think he had a chance against khabib crazy
MMA Guru king of the game
@@hellotron9118 what the fuck are you talking about
@@hellotron9118 Have you finished your veggies yet ??
@@hellotron9118 lol how out of place is this comment
Glover and Jiri are both really likeable fighters, good luck to both of these guys! I'll be happy for either fighters to win this fight
Gloves biggest strength is his top control.He's thick & strong & makes you carry his weight.If you're going to beat him knock him out,otherwise he's going to make you carry his weight..Pulling for Jiri but wouldn't be surprised if the Champ retains either.Much respect to both.
Dont look past glover
I don't thunk he is overlooking glover. He's just confident in his skills. As he should be
Nothing about what he's said implies that he is.
Ziri and Laura should marry each other
Did you see that smirk Jiri gave her at the end? LOL
I don't know why i am saying but combination of their genes will make best looking kids ever
@@joban_ true
One of those fights where you don't want to see either guy lose. Jiri and Glover are consummate professionals who put on absolute wars. Can't wait.
Such a fascinating and intriguing martial artist. Much love!
It is a MASSIVELY STUPID idea for Tony and Khabib to do TUF
Talk about tone deaf
Insulting to UFC fans everywhere.
There is literally no reason to make that show unless there's a fight to come out of it. And that ship has probably sailed in that regard so there's no reason to make a season at all. The ship has just plain sailed.
Said the random youtube viewer.
I am with you,unless they fight at the end it’s useless
Disney
love both these guys dude, cheers 🍺👍
Dude i love him ... With all respect .... He is good inside ... Looks confident ...niceeeee
The man sees The Way in everything. He's had a martial artist awakening.
What an absolute blessing it is that Jiri gets the experience of sitting down with two champions like Mike and dc
Jiri speaks through the way he holds him self, not as a mixed martial artist, but as a unique individual🙏
I love the intensity and how he swoops and stares at whoever speaks to him. I have hearing problems and do it to help understand what they are saying. The way he looks at people when he does it makes me laugh so hard since he is a giant intimidating monster of a man. 😂
This guy is no joke real pure martial arts 🥋 to distort everyone.
Man this guy is so cool, when he talks everyone listens!
