UFC is nuts for putting jiri in prelims card.
now it is less important because he got a bonus
The amount of people that tune out once prelims end is actually insane.
If anything, it just had the most people at the time watching for free, so good exposure for him being the prelim main event
@@frankgallagur2045This!
@@mickeymomighty5660 Well, less important because he succeeded in showing what a stupid thing it was to do. But it's not just where you are in fight order It's relevance for the whole show and the UFC in general.
Its 300 everyoneâs watching the prelims anyway
Jiri and Poatan are the best characters in the division. These guys are amazing.
It sucks I canât choose one over the other! Want them both as champs
@@RASTANAUT both are so likable and deserving of respect.
â@@destroyerofsensesyes đđ
@@RASTANAUTtoo real
LHW is filled with unhuman creatures
âGlover, this is for us.â I mean..isnt he fkn awesome.
They really nee to befrien him, I think he needs friends, real ones.
Yep đŻ agree- that's respect straight away for glover ,some fighters would have thought the award was all about them,not jiri - awesome humble warrior who doesn't fight for the money 'that was mega wen he said that ,respect đ martin
Yeah a nice reminder how he beat his ass
@@dannychief88 did you even watch the fight?
This guy is gangster. Love the response to the 300k
also tony ferguson with big frame haha
Well Alex is a monster
Hilarious ass thing, was Gangster's paradise playing after he won?? đ
Yes, a gangster in a supreme hoodie. đ But I also like him, he is a great fighter.
@@ShivaRainchild Whats the point? Doesnt matter what hoodie hes wearing.
All my homies love Jiri
Heâs so cute
dude's an absolute mad lad
You dont have any homies lmao
â@@Kurwaslayerbetter than your homies. They hold you down and put stuff in your butt, don't they? đ
@@Kurwaslayerbroâs projecting
"Glover that's for us" I love Jiri man
his fights are an absolute whirlwind. I know I know... we can all make a list of reasons why he shouldn't do this or that. But who cares, I fucking love this guy
Yip, definitely đđđđ
Love this guy tho
i just want bro to check, for the love of god man, please check kicks!
biology cares, fighting careers are short and then what.
@@HavocElec Then we die as life goes on, FOR ALL INTENTS & PURPOSES, this is the only life we have, might as well make awesome moments
The Schmo does BLOW!!!!
"With the money you are free and can do good things"
Heâs right. Money is freedom in a capitalist society. If we had communism we wouldnât need money to be free
You can get theeee best cocaine.
@@nobody617 Jon jones mindset
Freedom.
With the money you are free and you can buy more Supreme đ€đ€đ€
That english is what makes Jiri so lovable đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I really appreciate fighters that try as hard as they can to speak English, Moicano, Costa, Mike Perry.
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 Lolololol you win.
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 miocic, the list goes on and on...
You can tell he is translating in his head before he speaks
he is from Czech, English is not his main language
I love jiri
Meeee Toooooo!
So do I
Alex too
I know! I get jittery when I think of making love to jiri
This guy is an ambassador of the sport regardless of the belt. Heâs above all these guys. Heâs seeing a much bigger picture
Love how Schmo lets Jiri take his time talking, Iâm glad heâs willing to practice his English. Love Jiri
Jiri is so wholesome
The Last Samurai. This man is absolute G.
Jiri is one of the most likeable dudes in the UFC. Very good guy.
Glover vs. Jiri wasn't just fight of the year. It's arguably the greatest fight in ufc history.
Absolutely, I had money on glover because he always cashed as an underdog, that fight had me on the edge of my seat the entire fucking time
Sorry but Justin v Holloway beats their fight for me. Both great fights but my palms were SWEATING for that BMF fight
Alex rated Jiri higher. Real knows the real
It aged well too the thing about jamahal thinks he is good and technical all round while jiri knows he is gonna get punched
@@dobronxoliveira262 Jiri can't have the game plan he did with Rahik. Alex punch is unforgivable
Jiri got clipped because he was hobblin around on one leg. He made a movement adjustment in the rakic fight, he was whiffing leg kicks near the end.
Alex's days as champ are numbered lol. Jiri was beating him all over the octagon. Especially if Jiri works with legit camps instead of his Czech one, y'all are really gonna see
@@ceedub3966 Alex never fazed by the pressure of Jiri. He just waited his moment in all that chaos. Next fight he gonna adjust as well.
â@@ceedub3966 he was hobbling on one leg in the Rakic fight too, but his chin and recovery were too good. His chin got cracked by Pereira though, he hits HARD. he practically shoved him with his fists in two different directions to knock him down
Jiri, Schmo, Helen, $300k and pizza. Just too perfect!
He didn't get sex with Helen đ
big fanboy?
Jiri always tries to communicate with his feelings along with language... and I'm here for it
I love this guy!! Congrats from Brazil!! đ§đ·đšđż
the Schmo is really something, he's not boring and still gives props to the fighters and not making it about himself.
Ariel la đ đ dijo que?
The Schmo doesâŠ.BLOW!!!
Jiri also likes him because he was one of the first ones who gave Jiri the mic and made him viral when he was little known.
found the schmos burner account
the schmo is a schmuck and his schtick is schit
Jiri seems a good dude! Humble
Jiris english is so broken yet so perfect and literal at the same time
The Schmo always has the best interviews
How can you not love this man. To hell with Conors antics. You can be a good man and popular
Bro.... I love Jiri too, but don't even compare Jiri's popularity to conor... completely different levels of stardom... Jiri is an amazing and fun fighter with a fun personality... Conor is the biggest star the ufc has ever known... Maybe even the biggest star in all of combat sports. Love Jiri tho
@@saljewsteinbergowitz So true. Connor is on top of the hill. On the other hand, I have no respect for Connors imitators. We already have Connor we don't need Connor Lite 100x on the roster. Also while unlikely to ever achieve Notorious level, his star can still rise higher! The man was a champ in Rizin but he is 5 fights into UFC. Nowhere near Connor but five fights in, he is doing fine!
@@saljewsteinbergowitzeh after the fight with Dustin the whole bad guy act is really forced n overplayed now a days. He just gots to be himself bc once he loses again it will be his last fight with the company and heâll look a fool
â@@SBohsothishappenedtopuria has left the chat...
This was fucking heartwarming. Schmo - you da man, man. đ
I'll explain the Jiri prochazka samouraï situation in détail (shout-out to blue eyed samouraï Andy hug , RIP) :
Jiri was a young holligan and started Muay Thai to improve his street fighting skills . His coach offered him the book of five rings, strategy book from famous samouraĂŻ Myamoto Musashi (undefeated) and since then was inspired from it .
He eventually fought in Japan in RIZIN FF where he became popular (build up like continuity of Mirko CRO cop when CROcop was finishing his career . Rizin ff (attempt of recreating legendary organizations pride FC , same CEO Sakakibara, and btw have best MMA gloves in market since pride FC unlike crappy UFC and one FC ).
This is when I became a fan of Jiri prochazka , in 2016 with his fight vs Karl Albreksson .
Jiri became rizin light heavyweight champion defeating King Mo Lawal (back then the only guy to ko him , 8 years later Pereira ko him for second time of his life).
Some japanese fans compared his attitude with Swiss legendary kyokushin and kickboxer (from golden age of heavyweight) Andy hug (1996 K1 WGP champion, and most popular foreign fighter ever in Japan , even more than prime , rampage Jackson, wanderlei Silva, Mauricio, Fedor , Crocop, Don From, Coleman etc...) . It was during the golden age of K1 .
Who was Andy Hug ? :
He was a finalist in the most prestigious kyokushin karate event , world open (open weight) against kyokushin karate GOAT Shokei Matsui (loss close fight) .
(Back then only japanese win until Brazilian legend and K1 finalist vs mark hunt : Francisco filho).
Andy hug became popular in karate and later in kickboxing, because of his will to represent karate spirit and his speciallity , the famous axe kick ("kakato Geri") .
He died by leukemia after his last fight vs Mirko CROcop , buried in Kyoto with honorific title of samouraĂŻ. It was big deal on TV news in Japan back then with a big funeral in both Switzerland and in Japan . (Now , from this generation , Bernardo legend from south Africa and Branko cikatic also passed away, RIP)
I understand the comparison and Jiri prochazka have a better understanding of these things than casual MMA fansbwhibjust want character , and btw he got his green belt in kyokushin karate before this fight .
Jiri was fighting long time in Japan (rizin champion) and As popular there ,
Andy hug (rip) had many nickname in his career ("tetsujin" iron man, "mister karate" , with peter aerts and Ernesto hoost was the only 3 kickboxer who was called "mister K-1") and he was called blue "eyed samouraĂŻ" by japanese kickboxing fans.
Jiri never claimed to be a samouraĂŻ but being inspired by samouraĂŻ myamoto Musashi, he already said it when he was fighting in japan.
(When fought in UFC did his hair in tribute to Muay Thai fighters as well btw ) .
But honestly, if japanese fans called a foreign fighter "blue eyed samouraĂŻ " during the 90's , I don't see the problem of calling Jiri prochazka a "samouraĂŻ" as well (human samouraĂŻ,in rizin some called him the " Czech samouraĂŻ" ) .
There is no mockery to make , it happened before for one extremely popular fighter in k1 .
Jiri is far from being as popular as Andy hug in Japan but some japanese fans compared Jiri prochazka attitude to Andy hug 's attitude and for old school fans it's understandable.
Happy to see him win , watch all his fight since 2016, always said he will win when was underrated and not famous, for the first time, I though he would lose to rakic but won like typical Jiri I use to watch.
Very happy for the "Czech samouraĂŻ" .

Respect and love for you jiri
Awww that hug at the end gave me life đ„č
He speaks good English for a Czech,
I love you czech people! Miluiu Vas!
Miluju/Miluji vĂĄs ;). Close enough Love the effort to type out such a hard language
@@coolprcekmk Any effort to learn Czech is worth it. Chci bydit v Praze. Toto mesto je super!
People forget this guy doesn't really speak English. Listen to him speak now. It's insane how good he is. Using phrases like "perfect storm". Can't wait for them to run it back.
Is it really âinsaneâ? Millions of people learn languages everyday, why is something so basic being glazed so hard? đđ
@@jmt-ri6ed or becouse of internet
@@jamesrevere2992how many you know
@@marcelotapia3970do you know Ligginese?
@@jamesrevere2992bc learning another language is not easy and he has no reason to learn English his fights sell themselves but he still wants to learn to be more in tune with the audience
"Glover, that's for us"
This guy is a classy,humble warrior.....
Best wishes to him...
something is oddly likeable about jiri and his english. He is like so serious, that interview when he says no problem if problem i knock on his door. stone fucking cold 0 hesitation he speaks facts and the truth only. dude doesnt even flinch. But in a cool way. idk, that shit cracks me up cuz u know he is always dead serious and stoic. just spittn facts lol. sick fight I liked the come back. It was also funny the build up to the fight was hela funny unintentionally cuz jiri is like I AM A SAMURI and the dude was like NO you arent, I AM!!, and jri was like NO FK YOU!! it was like watching 2 kids argue over whose the sickkest sooo funny but they are adults lol. def Tony Ferguson vibes you love to see it but low key says shit that is fun af but is stone cold serious.
jiri is the man. cheers from Brazil
Its a shame you cant hear Jiri speaks fluently cause of the Language barrier. i am from Czech Republic and I know this guy. He speaks very good. But in English he is just nervous and thinks about the right words all the time and it makes him talk werid shit sometimes. But He is very intelligent fluently speaking humble guy
Youâre wrong bro. His message comes out better like this. It adds to the mystery. Like Khabib. We would not like him as much if he spoke fluently trust me
â@@MrSilus2000 I speak Czech, but still I 100% agree with you. Let's see if Rogan invites him to the podcast after the callout. That would be one long episode with Jiri trying to explain all the thoughts running through his mind
@@ondrej2565 He is like a martial arts prophet. He didnât accept the shallow commercialized MMA America created. I hope they embrace him
I was annoyed when Rogan didn't get what Jiri was saying about how yea obviously he's not a literal samurai, but everyone needs to have that kind of passion. Something to make you feel like a superhero, to flourish in the game of life essentially. Rogan's like "durrr, but it really upset you though when he said you weren't a samurai..."
I can tell how insightful Jiri is and it'd be really cool to hear him articulate his thoughts in his native language. I wish I could understand Pereira like that too.
I think he speak similar in czech :D :D :D
Jiri is great! Cheers from Poland!
They put this man on the pre lims while hes next in line for title shot
ANkalaev nex
WARRIOR AND CHAMPION MENTALITY
Alex vs Jiri 2...aint nobody wanna see hug machine Ankalaev.
Hug machine have u ever seen Magomeds fight?
@@Albelekov prolly boring as$ fights anyway.
@@HellusRaizen hate him all u want he is getting next title shot
Magomed is actually like the one Dagestani that will strike willingly
@@griggsz9649 most muslim russians are hug machines,only Sergey is their best striker and doesnt hug people to win.
Iâve never seen a jiri interview and I know itâs because of his language barrier but he reminds me of me of my younger bro whoâs a little on the spectrum itâs wholesome
Loved the wayJiri hugged the Schmo. That was wholesome.
He looks very focused all the time.l became fan of his since after the Reyes fight that was spectacular back elbow
Samurai warrior x 5 . Jiri he looked double your size and your relentless energy and willpower seems like something out of a gladiator movie you deserve 300 and some . Thank you
Jiri is such a cool dude !
Pereira vs Prochazka 2 next
JiĆĂ is gonna win.
Anakalev next
@@jankonicek8158donât bet on it buddy
â@@jankonicek8158 I doubt that
Jiri already got slept and was losing this fight heâs a like able humble guy but cmon
Jiri is a badass. Youâre the man Schmo
Schmo that was a really awesome and creative gift well done
Most entertaining fighter in the world 100%
I think second after Justin Gaethje
The Schmo's got a lovely job
I love Jiri but Alex is my fighter. These are two good guys and I hope they have a great fight.
Alex and Jiri are literally the definition of "Warriors born in the wrong era".đ„
Schmo knows
if all fighters would have the Jiri's mentality MMA would be the most followed sport in the world đŻ
Glover that's for us - he didn't said oh for me ? thank you
What a respectfull guy
Very nice gift Schmo , i hope you have one for Glover too :D
Love Jiri. One of my favorite fighters. Always witnessing something incredible when he fights
This is a solid if short interview. JiĆĂ's type of mind is one of the main reasons to watch this sport. Fun Fact: Schmo used to mispronounce ProchĂĄzka and it would make JiĆĂ visibly upset LOL
Bro got the ko then pulls up in a box logo đźâđš
I remember Jiri's debut in summer 2020 he couldn't speak word of english. He really improved alot.
Schmo is the best MMA journalist easily, he has the style and interesting personality
Jiri sounds like MCU Thor, but without having to try.
Jiri is a real warrior.
CSchmo does a GREAT interviewâŒïžđđ Vinny đșđž
That hug reminded me of when Voldemort hugged malfoy in the last movie, gotta love Jiri đ
This guy is by far my favorite !! Bad mf
Jiri is an awesome dude and fighter. However after tonight, I don't think he can beat Alex man. He needs more than little upgrades. Fingers crossed and Goodluck in the future. Will always cheer for him
Yes but do not forget, in previous fights have Alex Pereira much lower weight, and he beated everyone. If any of previous guys who Alex fought with would go against Alex now, they would end up similary like Jamahal. Only Jiri can fight with him quite (or very) good and had some chances after Alexes gain weight, and he even was not prepare properly (just few days instead fully 4 weeks, he was also week after disease and antibiotics etc etc).
Man of virtue.
One who fights for legacy and the love of the craft.
Not for monetary means.
Very content that he caught the W this weekend.
Inching him closer back to the throne âïžđâĄâ
âNow Iâm starting to take this seriouslyâ bro literally what.
schmo is so amazing.
I love Jiri but I always, always play his interviews at 1.5x speed lol
A really nice interview.
đŻ jiri =them words at the end from jiri hit home hard -- thats why we lov this guy - real character good guy , an the walk off with arm up đđ,brilliant đ€schmo!uk
Much love Jiri! đ€
So glad Jiri's horrible injury seems fully healed and he seems to be just as good as ever. He has a wild style and he's unpredictable, and that makes every fight he's in exciting. Hope to see a lot more from him in the future.
Justin's performance was unbelievably gritty but there was something so insane about Jiri's courage. Rakic is such a huge intimidating guy and his shots looks so heavy and Jiri was really just like... i am happy to eat all of this
Jiri, We all love you! But We need "Another 1".
Because you "Got the Keys".
I totally agree with schmo on giving the prize to Glover and Jiri , Smart !
WE LOVE YOU MAN
Love this Schmo! Jiri is gangster.
Wassup schmo đ cool interview as always...and im oout

Bless his heart. He was about to cry.
Guy went from no English to taking interviews in 4 years. Guys the real deal professional
Gotta love da Schmo
Out of all the fighters who's fisrt language isn't English, Jiri is one of the best at pronunciation
"We're oooouuuuut!" đđ
Jiri doesnt seem like someone trying to fake a persona, like Izzy for example.
He is humble and a true warrior.
How are you not a fan of this man? Seriously. He does everything the right way and conducts himself like a true Warrior.
