Other new or casual fans aren't going to care any more about Bo than they do about Jiri, and Jiri is very much a known quantity in terms of delivering an exciting fight. It actually is a smart business move, because we're all whinging about it (including me), but I don't see anyone boycotting the card over it. It's only serving to draw new eyes to the PPV

    I watched the fight with Pereira ! several times and Jiri wasn't bad with 1 week camp... he wents too much to the spiritual world... in Rizin, he also went through these things, but he was a more aggressive fighter, he just has to find himself and work his way to the title, he has all the prerequisites,but as I listen to him, we can look forward to some real bombs :)

    I really like Pereira but it was an early stoppage against Jiri. Jiri was really starting to turn it on and get the better of the exchanges until he got grazed and took those hammer fists/elbows. Goddard should've let it go a little longer considering it was a title fight. I think we'll see Jiri as LHW champ soon enough.

I had asked the question genuinely in the past and I thought the Czech people who responded seemed fairly mature (not biased or malicious) against Jiri. They were saying that his way of speaking is considered "unintelligent" and lower social way of speaking. Perhaps the way you perceive him is more accurate and others associate how fast someone talks with intelligence or something like that.
