I love this guy, u can really feel his humble nature, but the same time straight killer
Killer? Lol, Naruto say hold my Rage.
Jiri lookin at the camera like hes cutting a WWE promo! Lol. What a legend!
🤣
Casual sheep
@@kylejoseph7849 gatekeeping loser!
@@kylejoseph7849 Imagine having that name and commenting like that 😂
@@elyas4637 Imaging treating WWE synonymously with pro wrestling in 2022 😂😂
Jiri is a very respectful man
ight
Jiri vs Pereira is the super fight I want to see eventually 🔥
Jiri has submission wins not only the Glover fight. It won't just be a stand up fight.
Jiri would smoke him in my opinion. Whatcha think?
Wouldn't be close jiri is so much stronger and bigger. If izzy can hold him down for a round jiri can do it the whole fight but he probably would want to stand a prove a point
@@kcohBets jiri's not "so much stronger." Jiri's strong but Alex's one of the most powerful guys in the UFC.
@@SteveCabana-ir7jt not he’s not … heavy hitter bust far from the most powerful man in the UFC take it easy
He was in a dark room measuring his power in real time. Something mere mortals don't do or would even understand
🤣💯
Respect to Jiri. He did not have to take the rematch. True Warrior.
If he didnt it wouldve been a tragedy
He kinda did. Glover was ahead until the submission.
@@betteldottel I just rematches that fight and it was a lot closer then people say . At least that’s what I got from it
Hate immediate rematches. Next opponent plz!
You spelled killer wrong
the most respectful and the most violent. The samurai luke rockhold always wanted to be
This man is something else. He is the reincarnation of some savage samurai.
Jiri: "I don't want to talk about the Singapore fight I want to think about the next one"
Interviewer: "Okay so tell me about the first fight"
These interviewers are terrible
Mark the stooge thought “loophole! I’m not asking about Singapore.”
😂😂😂
Lol. These stupid journalist have pre planned questions like a puppet
Yeah sometimes it feels like these nerds don't belong in the same space as these warriors but it's all we have.
Jiri is a total savage. Lives and breathes martial arts. Will be a really hard fight against Glover again but can see him finishing him again but earlier. Love Glover as a fighter,total inspiration but that's my honest opinion. Should be another awesome fight
hopefully they stay on the feet jiri Too nice wit it
Idk how anyone can hate on Glover but I think he gets finished earlier too
ight
"When you are ready to die, to show the best, like the last thing in your life, YOU WILL". Amazing quote.
and the cool thing is he doesn't mean it just for fights...
@@jakubsvoboda9134 Yea man it's great advice
Is the media mocking his "dark room". Seems like they target that for some reason. Let this man do his thing.
Media is just a bunch of conformist c*nts. They preach tolerance but are anything but tolerant.
by asking him bout it ????? I mean he the one who told us
@@AliFrankTheTank it's cause he gets the same question every interview, and he Always says that it's personal, it's not exactly mocking, but it must be annoying af
It is actually good therapy for the brain to heal, especially after sustaining a concussion. His 5 round war was one he would need to recover from
@@tvojemanka I mean let’s be real, if you interview izzy tomorrow you gonna ask why Alex P knocked em out again. Y’all just be talking sometimes 😂😂😂😂 Bro POSTED he was a in dark room prepping of course it gonna be mentioned every “interview” .
Dark Room Jiri will become a mythical fighters like TRT Vitor, Sea Level Cain, or Horse Meat Overeem.
Just no
I'm down. Oh and don't forget another new mythical fighter, Financially Motivated Moicano!
I think without the hair he will lose some energy
Lmao I hope so
Jiri is a mythical fighter even without the dark room
He's calling the Warrior spirit in that dark room.
Jiri is definitely one of my favorite fighters on the roster. Very humble, insightful, and savage! He's always interesting and exciting.
I love his new look and image. Jiri stature and standards on life really is inspirational. It makes me very thankful and helps me challenge my own views. This world we live in is small and despite anyone’s living situation there is always much to be thankful for.
Well said big dawg
well said
I love this guy!!
So sad for him and that fkn injury!!!
Get well soon *Jiri!!*
How can you not like this guy and the excitement he brings.
idiots feel threatened by his intelect so they hate
Can't wait for all the crazy moves and hits in the fight. Very rare at this level of fighting to see someone so unorthodox who can use his style efficiently.
Dude’s mentality is on another level
"My current main goal is actually the oldest one".
This says so much about him.
How can anyone not love this guy!! Strait maniac !! Cannot wait for this rematch!! 1 of the best fights I have ever seen, ready for round 2!!
Jiri wasn't looking at the cameras he was looking at us the viewers.
God bless this gem of an athlete, samurai, and human.
Jiri "The Ronin" "The Treebeard" "The Fist of Death" "The Antenna Guy" "The Golden Vibe" "The Mortal Kombat Character" "The Highlight Machine" "The Ancient Warrior" "The USADAs Nightmare" "The Dark Born" "The Bell-ringer" "The Last Lullaby Before You Fall Asleep" Prochazka !!!!
Just about more nicknames than Rory Macdonald lol.
Jiri from a year ago wouldnt understand a single word this man was saying… he improved his english a lot still struggles with speaking a little bit but still very impressive.
Well his speech skill is not very impressive even when he is speaking Czech. But I agree, he understands questions better and his replies are actual replies to said questions.
@@johnhorak2000 jojo jako ten pokrok je za mě impressive když by to vlastně nemusel vůbec řešit jak to dělá hodně brazilců jinak v češtině podle mě mluví taky hezky ono je asi občas obtížné vyjádřit ty jeho myšlenky slovy :D možna mu rozumím trochu líp protože mám ten stejnej přízvuk a slovník co se tady tak mluví na brněnském venkově ale je prostě svůj Jirka no :D
@ToxicSnake znáš to někdo mluví sice plynule ale na úrovni prvňáka. Jirka se snaží skládat komplikovaný věty ale občas se zakoktne.
Dude jiri gives the BEST interviews of all the champions in the ufc.
That mental strength is crazy ,all those distractions only right outside that room and to chose and sit there all alone for that long shows true grit ,this is going to be a good rematch but we all know how a rematch usually plays out
Such a different breed of warrior. Respect
I don't believe that this kid travelled in a plane like he said at the beginning of this interview, he swam the ocean...
good one
1:52 "I don't want to talk about Singapore." Reporter 5 seconds later, "Tell us about that fight..."
“I will get the power back” 😂
spoken like a true power ranger
Jiri: I don't want to talk about that fight
Reporter: So tell me about that fight...
True story (1:52)
“sheds light on dark room” thanks espn
I want nothing short of retiring on top for Glover
2022 has been a great jiri for the champ.
I just watched another interview with Jiri the other day where his name was pronounced correctly, and you could tell how flattered he was, even said he was glad about it. I might be wrong here, but shame on Raimondi for not doing his homework.
Interviewer does a good interview, does his job, makes valid questions, generates good content
fan: SHAME ON YOU BRO YOU DIDNT SAY PROCHAZKA THE RIGHT WAY, ITS PROJAZKA PLS DO YOUR JOB.
....
Yeah you can see that Jiri started laughing a bit, when he heard the incorrect pronunciation
How is his name pronounced?
Chubs never does his homework chael sonnen even cussed him out one time
@@SteveCabana-ir7jt yiri prohaska
Can't wait till Dec 10! Long live Jiri the Champ! ✊💪
Jiri trying hard not to laugh at how idiotic & generic MMA journalist questions are. The same stupid questions over & over. Even when he's answered them 100 times. He's another level altogether.
Jiri si borec..fakt klobúk dole .. držím ti palce ..vytrieskaj to tam radu máš môj rešpekt ××÷××=$++
This guy is a different breed
Every time before he flushes the toilet, Jiri runs on top of a waterfall just as a sign of respect towards the things we take for granted.
Hope he recovers fast. Really like this guy
Jiri is nuts but every ufc fighter is nuts
In the dark room one is forced to face their 'demons' , truly a neglected yet important aspect of warrior training.
Why is it so hard for journalists to learn the right pronunciation of guy's last name, he is not some third-tier no-name fighter, he is your UFC champion, show some respect
Jiri gives off Ultimate Warrior vibes with his promos
JIRI the future GOAT 🔥 for the culture
Jiri is a straight up Mortal Kombat character !
they should really find some other reporters , cause each and every one asks the same questions, ...props to Jiri for being able to smile about them , even thou I can see he is reaching a point where it starts to be a lil too much even for him 😅
Love this guy
Imagine going into a dark room and then you step into Jiri
Jiri is the best 🙏💗
“A photo got posted”
“I don’t like taking about personal stuff”
Jiri is an interesting human being.
That part with being alone in the darkness should/would strengthen many psyche!
A true martial artist
"I don't like to talk about my personal stuff."
Dude, YOU shared the photo, you dolt.
After jan, then jiri.. They are doing crazy things for their mind and spiritual to gain power from their mentality..
Legendary mindset
Jiří je jenom jeden🤗
It was one of the best fights ever.
I think LHW is the most entertaining division because these guys are as tall as the HWs but of course lighter on their feet and usually younger. This means its a fast pace and also they tend to be free and do crazy stuff. They have power yes, but they can also take a punch.
I mean both Gustavson vs Jones fights were wars and amazing to watch. Reyes vs Jones, DC vs Jones. Jiri vs Reyes. Jiri vs Jan. All great fights. This one was too.
That’s the Champion mindset. Hope he defends his belt successfully.
Gosh he's such an interesting character
This guy is giving the fans glimpses of his journey but don’t want to talk about it in details. Some people seem to don’t understand simple meanings of life. Im glad he is talking about spending several days in dark room because dopamine detox is crucial for human mental health.
Inner power Interesting champion
It’s all about MINDSET baby, Buges would be proud.
I like this guy
No true answer on that dark room but it's not clickbait, as it really is unique and different. Very interesting.
I hope u success
Champ🇨🇿 Vítězství 💪☝️
He's a good dude
Jiri looking 7ft tall next to that interviewer 💀
This guy is a total chad
Welcome to the midget and the man our brand new show on ESPN🎉🎉
" I don't like to talk about that, because it's my personal stuff", posted a photo... these millennia kids are off the hook...
@@mikko3 shh.
Jiri is one scary samurai
He's my best friend.
Y he keep looking at the camera like that? 🤣
The real Grandmaster in making!
Jiri is the most mma, mma fighter to ever have mma'd.
Dude lives and breaths fighting and martial arts!
Anderson Silva 😁
@@Iklasnja never seen silva intentionally lock himself in a room for days, or go to the mountains and let out a war cry lol or style his hair just for a fight haha, definitely up there though
Go search jiri war cry in youtube if you havent seen it hahahaha
i really want to see pereira vs jiri
samurai
If he can defend this title few more times, I'd like to see him vs Jones (if he's active and successful)
Jones is done
If Jon can't wrestlefuck him (and I doubt he can since Glover couldn't and Glover is a far better offensive grappler/wrestler) he's toast.
GSP: "I am impressed by your dark place"
I miss the antenna.
I don’t understand why everyone is so mind blown that the guy does some meditation
Doing 10 minutes of meditation a day is "some meditation". Sitting in a dark room alone for days is not just "some meditation".
ya, agree with the other guy, dark room is thousandsof years old and not practiced really. so its impressive.
The last samurai: Jiri Prochazka
Gotta dwell in the dark to appreciate the light
he says he doesn't want to talke about he previous fights.... and the next question is about the first fight....
USADA website says he's been tested 61 times in 2022
fookin savage 😂👏🏽👏🏽
The samurai is back
Dude literally didn't talk about the days in a dark room whatchu mean homie
honestly, i thought that world knew about these dark room therapies. here in czech republic its a known thing
One of my favorite fighters to watch, always exciting, dudes got some nasty uppercuts lol. I don't think he makes the same mistakes as last time. I see a 3rd round TKO. All respect to Glover though, how can you not give the man his roses. At his age to be doing what he's doing is insane.
Jiri looks handsome with that haircut and beard
The samurai slays the Brazilian again. No offense. Jiri prochazka is a madman.
Jiri Batemen
WIN
This is how you get people to like you; just be your authentic self like Paulo Costa, Jiri, and Mike Perry. Not like Cejudo, Giga, or Colby.
giga? is she worth mentioning?
