#ufc #jiriprochazka #breakdown - Zábava
Jiri is the one and only.🥊👏👏👏
God is the one and only***
5 things that can make the difference
1) Weightclass. At MW, Pereira was a towering weight bully, fighting Blachowicz he was suddenly far less dominant and threatening. In Glory he also wasnt all that convincing in LHW. Jiri on the other hand is used to fighting far heavier guys (even at openweight) who cut down to LHW while he doesnt.
2) Creativity. Pereira is a fairly by-the-book dutch style K1 kickboxer. I think it is more troublesome for him to face someone as unorthodox and strange as Jiri than the other way round. Jiri spars with Glory guys in his gym. Does any other gym have a Prochazka? Even Izzy is very meat-and-potatoes kind of striker compared to Jiri and mostly relies on kicks and his jab.
3) Chin. Pereira was just flatlined and floored by a middleweight who isnt exactly famous for heavy hands. He got KOd stiff this April. Jiri on the other hand hasnt been even knocked down for almost a decade and had a long time to recover and heal his chin recently.
4) Cardio. Jiri often sets insane pace and boils his opponents alive. Pereira on the other hand often looks tired in round 3 already, isnt used to wrestling and gained some weight for the new category.
5) Lowkicks. This is famously a hole in Jiris game. He has a wide, bladed Japanese stance and doesnt block lowkicks too well, Pereira is a lowkick expert. On the other hand, many people tried this route and aften times got KOd by Jiri while trying to get close or getting too confident after landing a couple of them. This is what happened to Pereira this April afterall.
Pereira is getting that belt
@@devstuff2576Yeah thats a very convincing argument, thank you.
Funny how Adesanya which is as tall and has the same reach is a "MW" and not a bully. Both are as tall as Jones Gane and Ngannou
When Alex fought blachowicz to say he was less threatening isn’t really the case if you actually watched that fight you’d know Jan was literally just a wet blanket for majority of the fight and was on his way out in the second round. And also to say jiri would be more of a problem isn’t necessarily true because if you watch all of jiris fights he’s been rocked in damn near all of them, he was rocked by glover just got bailed out by glovers takedown attempt in the final round instead of continuing to plow his face the way he was. Lastly, you said Alex gained weight for LHW yet even when he was fighting at 185 he would get up to 210-215 by the day of the fight and was fighting at LHW at 228. If jiri keeps his hands as low as he does it could end up very bad unless he decides to do what Blachowicz tried to do; just shoot for the takedown early while he’s still fresh
@@heroe1486 Thats great, but what does it have to do with anything? We are talking about Pereira here, not Adesanya, perhaps because he is not fighting? Both are abnormally tall for the division. Pereira cuts huge weight, Adesanya does not. Neither does Prochazka, who is very light for LHW, lighter than Pereira even who competed at MW.
In Jiri's fighting style you can really see the influence of Miyamoto Musashi, the samurai he modeled his life after! Look at when Jiri's got a guy hurt and is trying to finish him, and think about this quote:
"The sure way to win is thus, to chase the enemy around in a confusing manner, causing him to leap aside."
He'll throw a barrage of strikes from different angles than normal combinations, combined with feints and also like Musashi said, when the enemy is hurt or tired you don't give them even a seconds break to recover!
100% jiri also likes to use the stance where he biltzes forward with both legs and switches the stance after every step - Something of that manner wrote Musashi also
@@fanboy7718 yes that too, Musashi didn't like alot of the types of footwork people used, like leaps and other types of steps. He advised moving more similar to how you naturally move and having the length of your step be similar to your natural gait
oh man 100% I am so hyped and I also think people get intimated from jiri after they are gassed or they have to show heart. They always know Jiri has a Samurai Mindset like they know I cant break him and I love how jiri gives every oppenent to quit because he is always looking for the finish@@stephanwatson7902
wow I am not a fan of spiritual stuff and traditional stuf but this is just cool find lol and sounds badass
@@martinja9953 definately, if youre into martial arts "the Book of Five Rings" is Musashi's book and it's not very long! Pdf is free too
I think the main factors in this fight will be in the natures of Jiri and Alex. Jiri likes to jump in the fire, while Alex is a little more stoney and patient. If Jiri can make Alex jump into the fire, I think he'll win. But if Alex can maintain his composure and set up that knockout punch at his pace, he's got it in the bag.
yep pereira’s main moments of adversity are opponents with strong chins and bait him into boxing in the pocket. we’ve seen him wobbled in those moments and it could be even riskier if his own chin has degraded since the izzy ko. however jiri tends to spend a fair amount of time at range setting things up. if he get complacent there he’ll get chewed up for sure. very excited for this fight :)
@@unique_mushroompart of his chin issue was the weight cutting, remember
He took all of Jan’s shots no problem from “Polish power”, “the 2nd best striker in LHW” Blachowicz who hits like a truck and power is the last thing to go so the whole he’s declined argument is useless. Alex been knocked cold (not tko) one time in his career by the supposed best striker in MW history with a perfect shot he did not see coming, after getting excited and going for the kill once again. He’s been hit with 2 huge shots, both from Assbender in his whole UFC career and made a rookie (9 ufc fights) mistake against a guy with 25 fights in the UFC after beating him twice by ko/tko. The people who love to run with this narrative are those same Izzy fanboys who couldn’t get over their champ getting beat multiple times by another fighter, as well as being chased down and embarrassed in another sport. Rest are casuals who saw both ufc Izzy fights and like to act like they know something 😂
@@mikemosley2948holy shit the glizzy gobbling here
@@JayCosmos56 clearly not permanently gone from the Jan fight.
That spinning elbow setup was legendary 🎉😮🔥💯
My fav. UFC fights:
1. Jones vs Michida
2. Jiri vs Reyes
one of my favorite things about jiri is his composure and ability to always find a way out of unfavorable and dangerous positions through patience and fight IQ. his ground defense especially is amazing to watch. not that he’ll need that again pereira
Was funny to see him tap on Glover’s shoulders when he was on top of him landing bombs saying that’s all you got. Jiri is the only one to submit Glover in his 21 year MMA career
@@ryangreen45 thats just so funny and epic... Texeira will think of the submision on his deathbed LOL
@@martinja9953wtf? Weirdo
Jiri still is a champ.
Jiri is one of my favorite fighters, dudes style and mindset are ridiculous. I call straight right hand KO by Jiri, Alex always gets hit by that shot and never fixes that weakness and that is Jiri's best punch
Guys been hit with that shot 2 good times his whole career in the UFC so that reasoning is ridiculous. Dudes also knocked out 27 fighters in 43 fights most with the big marshmallow 16 oz kickboxing gloves one shot no follow ups needed. Go look at his highlight reel which is absolutely ridiculous and tell me he doesn’t have the power to KO Jiri. This Is 50/50 at best
@@mikemosley2948if u think Alexis gonna one punch jiri you are terribly wrong bro
@@leprikonobecny6233if alex catches him with a powerful left he will be out like everyone else
@@clkgtr12 doubt it
@mikemosley2948 look at his kickboxing fights he gets hit with it a lot
the Glover fight makes people think Jiri isn't that good. But that argument is just underestimating Glover (something everyone did in each of his 6 fights won as an underdog before getting the belt).
Poatan beat Jan by decision
Glover finished jan
Jiri finished Glover
didnt anyone ever tell you mma math never works
Good ol' MMA math. 😂
Alex beat Jan. And Jan beat Izzy. And Izzy beat Alex. So does that mean now Izzy can beat Jan? Stfu. Jeez Louise, styles make fights; not maths.
@@s4daude_filmandcombat the ¨styles makes fights ¨ argument also favors Jiri.
I was pointing out the decisions and finishes
@@ellishawkins984 not always but ¨never¨ is an overstatement
pereira jan 3 rounds u dummy) jan was done at the end he would be finished in 4 by ko
Jiri has a real mix martial artist mindset that makes him one and only in this sport!!!
This is high quality content, I mean, the connections and understanding of fight you can develop only through sparing, and fighting.. about “TECHNIQUE” and as you said that you dont like him being hit, I understand that but Jiri is so rare even in this that he is 100% about flow and it looks like he count even blows into his head as part of his own game, its like he welcome it and take it as booster of his own power, like “I need you to hit me to feel your power to boost my power” hes so connected to presence, he take from every single moment what is needed, man he is better than even any Mortal combat character, he is real 🙏🏼👊🏼
Great BREAKDOWN. I was sold on Alex, but I feel maybe Jiri should really be the fav in this fight. Maybe u played Jiri a little on the Technique points tho.
Both fighters pressure heavy. IMO whoever moves back longer loses, but whoever weathers the storm first wins
I saw all the matches of Jiri. He knows when he's going super weak and when he's going to get sick. He has great stamina and strength. In the Japanese organization where he fought, I think one round was longer than 12 minutes. In my opinion, it was one of the most difficult supers in his career, that of Texeira.. Alex Pereira does not have the qualities of his coach and neither does he have the experience. Jiri stares at him with his cardio. I hope that the match will be at least 4 rounds.
Jiri gased in 1 round again Glover. I think you just have a hard-on for Jiri
What?:-D You better go and see that fight again.. he pushed 4 rounds in a ridiculous pace. Then he indeed gased in the 5th round but even so he was able to walk that extra mile to finish Glover. @@fangiscool1
1 left hook and it’s over. Remember this . That being said, Jiri is so amazing I wouldn’t even be upset if he wins, even if I’m rooting for Poatan. Both outcomes are amazing for the division
@@fangiscool1bro?? 😭
@@fangiscool1 you repard... he had knockout gas until the last round and the whole fight was in INSANE phase and fast nd brutal... ups and downs and takedowns and reversing them ...NO ONE has that level of energy... EVERYONE WULD GAS OUT in the 5th had he fight like Jiri did... stop being dummy
Jiří taking a W by second round KO. 💪👊
🧢😂
I respect & love to watch both fighters
I will be happy for the winner & sad for the loss of whichever champion doesn’t get their hand raised
Thanks Cejudo 🙏
Jiri like a real life Tekken character.
Great videos Champ! Jiri will take his belt back for sure but its going to be a battle
Brilliant analysis as usual Champ 🕊️⌛️🕊️
good video bro
I was wondering, you could breakdown his earlier fights too.. he has super good history from rizin and even organizations before that
Great analysis as always Henry #CombatSportsGOAT
As much as I want Alex to win the LHW belt u never know what will happen.
This year has already given us some really surprises results, so idk what to expect.
Ppl saying that either of them will run over the other easily are fools. There is no easy matchup. This will be a banger man. Can’t wait.
Again I don’t know what to expect sooo keeping all expectations open
I like how people talk about Alex getting knocked out in april, bit fail to mention that jiri hasnt fought in almost a year and a half AND decimated his shoulder. Imo, that matters a lot more than the chin alex might’ve lost.
Actually that shoulder was slowing him down in the past years, then he messed it up completely, and now he says the shoulder is in stronger then ever.
@@MsXdcoolioxdu think it has to do with how he punches from so low? Ik it’s so sounds stupid but it makes sense to me
They really do teach this in jiujitsu. It's the sport BJJ point system that disincentivizes getting to your feet.
i dont think alex will fall for jiris tricks, hes too experienced on the standup
He has no experience with guys like Jiri. Jiri is one of a kind.
But jiri can definitely catch alex.
i can only see jiri catch alex with hes lunging jab. other than that i dont see jiri getting a ko/tko@@dammaguy1286
@@dammaguy1286they both can and will catch each other its just a matter of time
jiri has so much mma experience should be a good one
That's all i ask of Jiri, is that he protects his head more. Fair analysis and scoring
Going to be such a good fight! Both dudes only have a few fights in the ufc so it’s hard to go off past opponents. I think Alex’s crisp striking and leg kicks get the job done. Poatan 3rd round KO
Jirý Proháčka🗣️💯🔥 haha umru jak to z nich nikdo neumí říct
This gonna be fucking Madness
Jiri W by whatever he wants ..
In my top 3 fighters to watch.
if it gets out of the first round Jiri Prochazka front leg going to be compromised. I new when he beat glover Alex would seek revenge and thats the real story line.
No matter who wins that’s a fun fight between two warriors
If anyone can drag poatan into a war, it’s jiri, it’s possible…
Almost all of Alex's fights have been wars lol.
Jiri is awesome, but he makes me so nervous when he has his hands down.
Jiří 🎉👏🙂
I watched the Reyes fight and his corner Calls stuff like.. "ENJOY YOURSELF YEAH THATS IT HAVE FUN" They litteraly want him to get in a zone and make him calm and collected.
Prochazka is scary when he geats flowing.
I get it Alex came and made a statement in a short amount of time thanks to the Izzy storyline before the UFC and arguably i think he lost the last fight against Jan but this here a different beast...i feel like Alex gets slept within 3 rounds 🤷🏾♂️
He beat three champions in the span of a year and a half. You can’t deny him anymore
Jiri throw punches like izzy
Is it possible just to watch and enjoy fights without rooting for anybody...always tought people who think like that as pretentious ...for this fight tho i wish i could just enjoy
Big screen is 28" ....everything is relative....lol
if he plays like that with his guards down against poatan, lights out for him lol
Of course bud. Thats why he could spar like this with Ngannou... BTW Jiri's main sparring partner during his career was south pole MW kickboxer which was ranked #3 in Glory Kickboxing - U people should get knowledge before u start throw up bs like u did.
@@artofmma2870call them casuals...they never learn 🤷♂️
Jiri prochaza 🆚 Alex Pereira both fighter are my favourite❤
I watch jiri become champion then go back to the Forrest and sit in the middle of the woods with no shirt no music just him I'd never fight that guy
I think this fight will be soley based on jiris chin. He tends to take shots to make shots. And that can be dangerous for jiri. The way i see this fight going is alex will start leg kicking, and when that happens, jiri will start his blitzing, then we will see whos chin holds up.
Heal up champ....go get that belt.

Henry please tell the middleweight goat paul costa I need some secret juice

Dont let this distract you from the fact that ngannou beat up the world heavyweight champion
I've been waiting for this fight for almost 2 years.. who cares about rigged boxing match ? 😂
@@janzeman3777 rigged? only dumb people think that
This will be easier for Alex than Jan

Volkov,Volkanovsky 😂😂😂😂😂omg,you are next Sonnen 😂😂
So many ppl doing these fight analyses insist on pronouncing every foreign fighters name different ways every other time they see it and it honestly makes me leave the video everytime from how hard they're trying
Alex doesn't move his head that well - Jiri wins by K.O. in the 3rd.
Notorious mma❤
Jiri gets caught a lot which is no bueno against pereiras left
I haven’t watched the video yet but if Henry goes for Alex ima need him to change his prediction. This is the same guy who shit talked about Sean having no shot against sterling.
*Both fights are kill or be killed. Stylistically Pereira is favoured.* Jiri open to that left hook all day. High risk high reward style. He needs to attack Pereira’s legs and the second Pereira starts playing the leg kick game Jiri needs to explode with a 1-2. Every time Pereira kicks he needs to step in land the long 2 and duck under the left hook. Maybe shoot some takedown attempts just to mix it up and make pereira think.
ahahaha that intro, but pereira got him =]
4:34 right here, Alex would have landed a left hook & goodnight Jiri
That’s all fine and good but…Jiri isn’t gonna be standing with Pereira lol. If he does he won’t be standing long. Pereira will sleep him. His best chance is on the ground. I got Pereira by KO, Rd 2
If Blachowicz stood with Pereira for 3 rounds, why not Prochazka?
@@FF-wl1oo Pereira was coming off a bad loss, fair to say he wasn’t unloading punches the same way he would.
@@_4.6ricardo is that fair to say? Wasn't it that Jan was his most difficult opponent in UFC up to that point, so he didn't wanna rush things because ground was suddenly a threat etc.? I don't really buy that "he was holding back because he got KOed 4 months prior". I think if he wasn't ready to give it 100 %, he wouldn't have taken the fight.
Called it perfectly
@@hsp8018 Thanks. I thought “if “ Jiri could get him down he may be able to do something but that this would be the outcome if they stood. Hell Jiri couldn’t do anything to him on the ground either. Lol
Yeah, that Lamborghini wasn’t for Texeira! 😂
I feel, its gonna be a flyking knee KO by any of them
I might be crazy but I would really love to see Henry vs. Jiri one day. That fight would be an absolute banger!
The thing is Alex only knows how to fight 1 way, he’s getting killed by JIRI
I think Alex wins but just imo. I can see Jiri winning but I think Alex will take it
that slopy ass shit not going to fly with Alex. Alex is to sound with his stand up. Has anyone watched his kickboxing fights the guys he has KOed with the big gloves. Its going to be Strickland all ove.r
yeah. jiri fights too open and gets hit a lot…
Unorthodox styles are often a problem for a fundamental fighter.
Is not unorthodox he is open . He got caught and rocket by everyone he has fought.
@@dammaguy1286that’s not true. Unorthodox style are best countered by basics and perfect technique and patience. Strickland vs Izzy, Gaethje vs Ferguson . Keep your guard up, don’t over comite to counters , and find that chin with a clean hook and it’s over
it will be a great fight, but, hands down Versus Alex, would be dangerous
dangerous for alex ;P call and ambulance but not for... just call an ambulance xD
@@BombsAF If Jiri show’s up still injured (more than likely) or with a fair amount of ring rust where Alex can land that windmill left hand clean, they’ll be backing up the hearse, no ambulance needed 😯
Damn Volkov got small quickly :P
what do you mean? He ate Volkan Oezdemir to become Volkov Oezdemir.
Rakić vs Jiri
Vol...KAN
yes for sure
I bet jiri +118 realist 💯
He’s fighting style with his hands down worries me. He needs to fix it. Receiving head punches is deteriorating.

Alex by head kick KO
Hill is the champ.
Back rolls out of a head and arm "they probably don't even teach that in Jiu jitsu" haha blue belt here 5hey teach that at white belt usually my guy Hahaha
Bro so you gonna ever fight again or wtf? Don’t you got fans who should know if you quit again or not?
Either Henry is a damn good presenter or he doesn't have to walk far to get to the big screen😂because there is no change in tone or enthusiasm. Sounds like he turned around looked at a different camera😂😂

Alex will kill the samurai Jack 😅
you don't like only JJ ..finally 3C
"wong tong chineese kung fu"
There's something jiri is going to do to Alex and its setting a trap which pereira aint going to escape
You figured it out
I m Czech and you don't prounanc it " Prochachka" he's not Russian. You prounanc it " Prohaska" - Prochazka.
This fool is doing breakdowns. Like if he was sooo good at analyzing he would have beaten sterling 😂
Jiri can fight alex with one hand..his weird movement will freeze alex for sure..
Someone was frozen for sure
Jiri stricking is overestimated... Glover won almost every exchange on the title fight. Jiri ate to many big shots, those cause permanent damage. I believe either Pereira or Jamahal will KO him up... and I consider me a fan of Jiri...
yeah, jiri gets hit a lot. jiri has to be more defensively sound against alex
@@agallonofwateryou are right, I believe Alex had enough KO power to put Jiri to sleep if allows himself to receive a clean shot
The same is for Alex, though. Didn't really shine against Blach. I expected much more given all the Alex boxing hype. And Blachowicz was waaay more static target than Jiri.
Second problem for Alex is that he is a good pressure fighter but doesn't take it well when someone pressures him. And Jiri is all-in when it comes to pressure.
That Jan fight was at Elevation and affected both Alex and Jan drastically. Jiri is incredible, no doubt but Alex had 22 KO’s in 33 fights in Glory as well as being the only 2 division weight champ. His highlight real is sick knocking guys out stiff with the huge 18 oz pillow gloves😮 This Is a 50/50 fight with 4 oz gloves and both these guys are 2 of the best strikers on the planet. If your betting this is risky as hell and could go either way ……..
@@mikemosley2948you should watch Jiris highlights… 25 KOs in 29 wins and he’s on a 13 fight win streak… and Alex has no ground game at all. Jiri can wrestle, submissions… Alex is in trouble
Henry doesnt even know how to breakdown Jiri's style.
jiri will get tko'd, his unorthodox style is perfect for pereira's striking style. if you look back on the sterling vs o malley bout, o malley caught sterling with a flush shot cause of sterling's unorthodox style. the outcome will be the same when pereira catch jiri with a powerful flush shot and i dont even think jiri's chin will survive all 5 rounds against pereira😂😅
If you look at izzy vs alex 2 you see that alex can get caught by a rushing 1-2 which jiri loves to throw
Fr
He got caught making a rookie mistake going for the kill against the MW goat. Alex’s whole style is baiting you in to get knocked cold which definitely works for him. Only Two division Glory champion and getting ready to win his 2nd title in 10 UFC fights……these guys are goofy as hell
@@mikemosley2948 Adesanya lost 2 of his last 3 fights and he's in his prime, one being against Strickland who can be considered as a "bum" if compared to people of champion's caliber.
He isn't at all the MW Goat, it's Anderson Silva
@@heroe1486 I care less what he’s considered but every time he’s mentioned on a broadcast it’s MW goat this and MW goat that. I am in no way a fan of Assbender’s but to act like he’s not a great fighter is total bs. These guys are the best of the best anyway you cut it…….
