I find it crazy to see history being made. What an amazing fight from both guys. Reminded me of Khazmat vs. Burns. We get to see guys dig deep. Much respect to Glover and Jiri.
EXACTLY
Me and the family was standing and screaming almost the whole fight! Absolute 💯 entertained!!! P.s. she is a cutie pie
Ya bull.
Guy looks like a girl with his stupid pony tail to the gods.
What do you mean history being made? It’s just a UFC fight.
@@beradogs922 Just within the sport that is. Not in the grand scheme of things. Just within the context of this video. If we are talking about making real history this is extremely insignificant.
she's a good reporter. Jiri can be tough to interview. She phrased her questions well
he doesn't understand English very well
Cringeee
Jiri is a real life Tekken character with awesome intentions. Congrats to him on winning the championship won in an unexpected way. Much appreciation and respect too the man the myth the legend himself Glover Teixeira. At 42 years old and still managed to put on a masterpiece clinic against a young lion.
good thing he got lucky
Jiri was freaking massive compared to Glover and he's surprisingly light on his feet
See jiri being champ for a long time like usman putting everyone away...
@@johno30197 not a chance ....next fight he loose the belt sorry
@@sebg2086 he fought like s*** and still won so I would say that he can dominate if he's on his game and for you to say not a chance, who's going to beat him? Jan? Jan just got dominated and choked out by the guy that Juri just beat. So in my opinion you're talking out of your ass, hater
I was rooting for Glover, but I can't help but praise Jiri for his unbending character!
Jiri procházka direct and too the point that's what make's a great champ....
The Last Samurai Jiri Prochazka
This was one of the best fights I have ever seen but I honestly do not want to see a Jiri/Glover fight again. I feel like this fight was a one-off that should never be repeated.
the rematch would go how Jiri fans thought this one would: first round brutal finish
Jiri will clean that mistake and set up a finish as fast as he can in the rematch
Jiri is lucky glover didnt go for the finish in the 5th, instead going for that guillotine and slipping off. Jiri was donzo at that point and glover was hurting him over and over, good for Jiri tho hes a good champ. Make The Jan fight thats what we all want to see.
@@jonathansoko1085 so jiri is lucky because glover went for a submission because he was hurt? 😂 a submission is a finish bud
@@luminarypanic3058 are you drunk or high or what bud
"i want Jiri... IN JAPAN"
-Luke Rockhold
isn't he f****ng awesome?
"concieve, believe, achieve" - Luke Rockhold while getting killed by Jiri or any top5 LHW in the division rn
Hahaha that was good
Hilarious hahaha
I love how he follows the bushido code it’s very interesting and cool af in that kimono💪😂
Gotta keep it simple with Jiri.
Stick to fundamentals and he will be champ for a long time.
The difference in fundamental skills was most evident in the championship rounds. Both men were tired but Glover's fundamentals allowed him to get the better of the striking late in the fight. Jiri can't be like Tony and slack off on the fundamentals, it will catch up to him when he gets older and past his prime.
After so many years in the UFC, so glad that Tony Ferguson became the champ at 205.
When she said where would you like your next fight to take place, anywhere in the World? I for sure thought he was going to say “Inside Active Volcano”.
He is basically a real life Tekkeb character so its perfect
@@Werdxp 😁😁😁😂
Excited to see his next couple fights as always
Look at his robe.
Its a girls choice.
Look at his pony tail.
Its a girls thing.
Wtf???!!!
You want me to speak up for confused men?????
Nope
People need to slow down a bit when speaking to someone who’s first language isn’t English lol
Lol yes thats exactly my thoughts.If you can say " My family live in a large family house" she thinks you are native speaker 😀
hopefully rematch with glover
Great fight but no. If you mean in the future after Glover gets a couple wins and earns it, then yea. But immediate? No way. This was his first defense. We can’t keep holding up divisions for title rematches, especially for somebody who never defended the belt.
@@mikeymouse3941 glover is getting older hes on last fights of his contract, jan doesn’t deserve it nor does anklaev or smith, glover had an amazing war, i think rematch makes sense imo
@@mikeymouse3941 Ye but it’s not like Glover got ran through. He was up on the scorecards and got caught the last 30 seconds
Teixeira deserves it.
@@mikeymouse3941 nah an immediate over jan tbh not like glover just cleard the division holding wins over #2 then champ Jan number 5 then ranked 4th Smith number 6 then ranked 1 in Thiago and number 11 tht is insane he beat 3 of the top 6 and take out rakic he hurt n bump everyone up 1 he beat 3 of the top 5 and just lost to the champ only ankalaev would make sense for the belt with a win
Jiri is such a breath of fresh air I definitely see start potential in him 🙏🔥🔥🔥
Should run it back 100%. Jan got absolutely mauled by Glover and his last win was iffy being that it was 1-1 going into that 3rd and Rakic unfortunately couldn’t continue. Glover was also up on 2/3 scorecards. Rematch and Jan vs Smith/Magomedov
Agree but i am affraid ufc will make Jan Vs Jiří because of marketing
@@vlloslangos8883 why are you afraid. It’s the biggest fight in European mma history
@@timfilipiuk9612 ok but Jan isn’t the best glover is way better
@@calvincalvin3132 that is even bigger bs. Go to a mental hospital right now
Nah Jan was looking sharp in that fight and his calf kicks is what caused that injury. Jan was well on his way to immobilizing him and eventually TKOing Rakic. Jiri vs Jan is next and they have both agreed to this
Absolute mad lad! Cheers champ!
That fight was really an *Ultimate Fight* 🔥🔥🔥
Jirka is the best ... what a relief to see a modest champ after all those cocky clowns we have seen in the past. He may help get UFC out of the gutter it has gotten itself into. True warrior does not need the trash talk and can beat opponents whilst staying respectful. A true hero and a role model for young aspiring fighters!
Run it back
Congrats Jiri! Awesome fight! 👊👊
RUN IT BACK! Glover almost had that!
They all "almost had it"🥱
@@OldTonyFerguson Name one example of someone being up on the scorecards and getting finished in the 5th.
Edit: Forgot to add but in a championship fight*
@@user-zo4iz2nv5u yair vs zombie
@@user-zo4iz2nv5u volkov vs lewis
@@user-zo4iz2nv5u chael sonen vs anderson silva !! this fight chael was winning all the 5 rounds till he got caught in the submission in the end of 5 th ! jiri and glover isn't that , its 2-2 going in 5th !
No one can deny this man is champion. What this man did was legendary
What did he do except the last choke? Glover was winning
@@bobby9568 He didn't quit. he said no. that's why he is the champion.
@@bobby9568 What he did except the last choke? Jiri survived about seven sub attempts from black belt jiu-jitsu experienced professional and came back with same mindset, even stronger,, and that elbow that cut him like man u serious? and did you saw Glover's face after the fight? Glover was that one who quit. keep it simple, 5th round, championship round.
@@bobby9568 please keep ur opinions to urself
@@uh2187 see, what happened to free speech? LOL this is human behavior they say one thing when it is advantageous for them but when it isnt they say something else
I think the interviewer kept forgetting that English isn’t his first language. Keep the question simple. Nonetheless I do dig how he’s just a straight shooter. There is no BS, just toughness and discipline
Old is Gold jiri 🔥🔥 congrats to the new champion jiri
It's jiri has a mindstate is crazy. He takes some big shots. And ground and pound. Just kept coming
Clever,smart, insane tough unconventional and modest at the same time, a real warrior.
Gratz and support from Poland, Jerzy. Greetings and let's fight for Slavic Pride, Brother. Hope the defense was with Johnny B.
Couse Glover deserves a rematch.But Jan vs Jiri in national stadium Warsaw 58 580 crowds sounds afsummm !
UFC won't do stadium fights in the open, Dana said this 100 times. It won't be Jan anyway, it will be winner of Smith/Ankalaev which is next month
Class act. GREAT fight!
What he is is yet to come JP will be a champion unlike any other in the light heavyweight class
Battle Wounds cover his face. Looking sharp in his 'King's Garment' ❤ LET'S GO CHAMP 🏆💪🐐
I love that yuri won... This devision just got really intresting
Props to Jiri but you should definitely run it back Glover deserves the rematch he was kinda dominating the fight until the end. Reminds me of chael sonnen vs anderson silva just a little less one sided. Good conditioning sticking in there to get the submission though, big respect for that 💪
Far from dominating.
Maybe the wrong choice of word but he would have lost unanimously if it went to decision, surely that’s grounds for a RM. Great fight regardless
I want next fight Jiri Prochazka vs Jan Blachowicz in o2 arena in Prague (19 500 seats for MMA gala evening)
The real man 🥷🇨🇿
Respect to glover
While Glover and Ankalaev/Smith winner would be more deserving for the next shot, I feel like Jan/Jiri is the biggest fight the UFC can make. Put the card in Czech Republic/Poland and that will be a historic card, not to mention guys like Gamrot, who can co-headline it.
Great fighter, but menthal strenght is diference where Jiri is the be(a)st. Maaan he survives everything, his chin, his ground game where he refuse to be submeted... Big respect Jiri, you are the man! Im Rakics fun but your skill and personality are very hard not to love and respect
I just hope he's active these LH AND HW fighters have 1 bout a year like damn
Beautiful Samurai robes, brother
and I will be prepared for dat.
Que fierce eye gaze.
They should give glover the rematch he was dominating the fight and I think he earned a rematch
Nah bro it was back and forth lol glover was dominating Jiri hurting him in the ground then Jiri reversed it and starts hurting Glover and then it switches again and again the whole fight til Jiri chokes out Glover lol
How can you dominate a fight where you lost two rounds, one of which 10-8? Glover was ahead, but it was super close. And before the 5th, Jiri came closest to finishing it in the third.
Glover was winning the fight, not dominating. Those are two different things.
@@TheStraightestWhitest dude none of those rounds were 10/8, fuck the judges and there stupid scoring. That fight was as close as it gets, sure both fighters had rounds but 10/8s?
Look the co main, 49/46! fml that judge needs to stop.
He’s the terminator. He walked Reyes and Glover down and didn’t stop until they were both finished
1:40: “What you mean? Like why you out of kitchen?”
- Jiri Procházka
Jiri looks like Tong Po from - 1989 kickboxer movie 🎥
🤣🤣🤣 good one
He's a real life anime character who moves like ours character
Great interviewer.
🔥🔥🔥
While i love his humbleness and honesty and urge to be better... I hope it doesnt affect him negatively, hes very hard on himself. That is good, but i just hope he doesnt go too far with that.
Rematch is the only fair next fight!
The modern-day samurai 🔥
he was talking to Glover smiling at him, patting him on the back... i think he's his own thing entirely xD
Amazing fight
Awesome
Croatian pride worldwide 💪❤🥊😘🇭🇷🇭🇷
Congrats to Jiri on his winning the Championship. War Jiri Prochazka & War 🇨🇿
talking about not fighting the perfect fight ,,,,,,,his first 3 fights have been against insane fighters ... there arnt any easy fights at the top! Keep killing it jiri
Jon Jones dominated a Prime Glover Texeira. Jiri went lífe and death with an old Texeira. Jon Jones is on another level.
Jon was also on PEDs
He beat a younger glover but he would argue he's the best he's ever been
Imagine if Jiri was juiced like Jon was, he would've destroyed Glover lmao
His picograms is on another level ye 😂.
@@mateohodge6998 agreed, but jones will still kill him
Respect for the ceh
Jiri vs winner of Smith vs Ankalaev and the 2 former champions Jan vs Glover in a title eliminator rematch. That's probably the perfect way to go
Jiri ‘it doesn’t matter’ Procházka
You tapped
Run it back!!
Legendary Polish Power is the only option!👊🏻💥
jan deserves a rematch because he beat a top ranked fighter after his title loss. Glover can do the same after
Holy crap, Jiris head has like 300 bumps. This fight was insane.
Man feeling that shit today I bet hahah
Has to improve head movement and takedown defense to keep the fight on the feet
No comments yet to THE SAMURAI WARRIOR ....JIRI
Jiri didn’t surprise me at all
Aceita a revanche com glover Texeira velho 🇧🇷
🔥🔥
4:57 next fight against Jan
I think winner vs magomed and smith should get title shot. Will give jiri plenty of time to heal up
Samurai Jiri
Jan?.... how about a re.match? Jiri was down in all judges score cards.
True Champion 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Это временный чемпион. Реальный чемпион, это Тейшейра!!!
Nice
Jon Jones and jiri that will be a next level fight ..
jones is done,washed out
@@thecount1 jones is dangerous and still on the scene
He’s scary when he says “what? 😐”
After a tough and brutal 5 rounds, the media should respect the fighters and leave them the hell alone asking stupid questions. Didn't they give of themselves enough to the media all week before the fight?
Capitan price I tihnk he said bravo six going dark
Can't wait to see Jiri smash Jan and his over inflated ego! Im sure Jiri will be a whole nother beast after this learning experience with Big Tex.
Imo there should be an immediate rematch vs Glover.
Fucking LOVE JERRY LOL I MEAN JIRI !🔥💪🏼✊🏼
Jon blockwicz vs jiri very very dangerous match
In future jiri also become wwe champ
Jiri :- I would like to fight the yan😁....The transcript also shows this!!
The Samurai Luke Rockhold wished to be...
Dudes still young for a champ, he's got a dominant career ahead of him I think.
Has to work on defense and take downs
@@seds94 Yeah, but as I said, still young, he will only get better.
Yiri is magic.. don't fuck around bro lol
I’m so glad he won and we got rid of weird old man vibes glover
Ahora toca con jan blachowicz
I'M HERE FOR THE FASHION TIPS
Give Glover the rematch. Do it in france!
Ankalaev vs Smith winner for Title shot.
Real killer
This performance will not allow him to retain his title . Great stand up and defense on the ground but still v naive on the ground
Hey, Teixeira admitted after the fight that Prochazka's body shots gassed him. Credit to the former champ for admitting that; credit to the new champ for landing them.
With a fight like that wouldn't the right thing to do is rematch glover?
I don't understand why the reporter was talking so fast. Jiří (Jirka or George) doesn't speak English that well yet.
McKenzie is a hottie!
