#UFC #ufc300
Dear UFC, don't ever do something as stupid and disrespectful as putting Jiri on the undercard again. Sincerely, the fans.
FACTS
Seconded 😤
On Yah😒
TIL that buying the PPV doesnt give access to the prelims... FML
Especially if after him you have Bo Nickal padding his record
THAT was a performance worthy of 300,000
If it was possible it would be 3x300.000
That was fight of the night so far back and forth
@@bilic8094 I think Charles vs Armin will be fire too
Prochazka vs the champion next, it's a no-brainer 🔥 🔥
Max outplayed Jiri
this man is literally allergic to boring fights
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 straight tf up god damn that's a hilarious comment
Es que no es un huele bolas dagestani
As a Japanese i must say jiri is one hundred percent a samarai its not about ethnicity its about the spirit
well said.
It says a lot coming from you. And he seems like such a good man, humble and brave.
Jiri trusted his abilities and threw himself into the fire. Respect.
He deserves that 300k
@@sonusomanna3068 so far yes best fight of the night
“I’m not a samurai, I’m a guy from Czech Republic. But we all need to live and be inspired by something.” - a samurai from the Czech Republic
Jiri is hands down my favorite fighter. This man is such a beast in the cage and just a humble great human being on top of that.
300k fight of the night...so far
'Hands down' literally
NICE SUMMONER ICON
@@richardgordon0407 Took me a second to get what you meant but actually good one bro ;D
Love this guy always win or lose
jiri with honor and respect what a role model for the young up and coming fighters!
300k...💯 Such fun!
Yeah these Russians and Europeans r honourable
It is one of rules of the samurais. Honesty and respect. He will never discredit someone for his own advantage.
@@christianmeyer1703 Funny ... Samurai are bastardy too ! They participated invading the Ryu Kyu kingdom !
@@theenlightenedone1283 the center of Europe, neighbors Germany, Austria (Rakič), Poland(Blachovic), Slovakia 
He's fucking crazy.
And I fucking love it lmao
People question his weird rituals like the samurai stuff, but it clearly gives him insane belief in himself. Guy's an anomaly
@@oxsilai think people question other weird shit he does more, but still respects to Jiri
In the best way possible!
@@Ake-TL Like what?
Despite his loss to Alex, Jiri's ability to take shots is insane 😳
Jiri probably had ring rust against Alex. He's a problem for anyone including Ankalaev
@@oldmedstudent1750ankalev will take his head off cuz he has more power and way better timing than Rakic; that being said he would probably out wrestle jiri cuz it’s the safest choice
@@posintabook594 I think Ankalaev will win but he won't walk through Jiri. It will be a war.
before Alex he was sick for a long time, he had an ear infection, he only trained for one week in the month before the fight.
Hes gonna get kod again if he fights Alex, too risky in exchanges,rakic definitely had his chance @@oldmedstudent1750
Rakic was wrong. Jiri is a real samurai, even though he's not Japanese. Dude's got the samurai spirit, that's for damn sure!
This is the internet, so the issue inevitably becomes technical. Jiří is not a samurai as he isn't serving any feudal lord. He is a modern day fighter, inspired by the bushido cose that the samurai followed during the time the Book of Five Rings was written.
Rakic is not a real Austrian
😂😂😂😂 he is ultimate lord of weeb.@BTCFKIVS
@@Renjiro91 as a japanese he is more samurai than me by 10000% as he actually lives the life of one, big respect
Jiri is not samurai.. samurai will serve Shogun
Jiri’s legs after getting kicked: 🗿
lmao
Chama
Chama
Except against Alex
haha
Jiri really walked through Rakic’s best shots and put him away. He never fails to entertain
Man, the anxiety that comes with being a Jiri fan.Just glad he got it done. As long as Weili wins too, I can sleep well tonight. Been a fantastic night so far!
Yeah i feel it too😂
Weilli won
@@claudemakelele2856 lmao phew. It was looking dicey there for a minute too. I still have not gotten over that Max KO, I ain’t sleeping regardless lol
Lol no kidding, like bro fucking dodge !
Objectively the most exciting fighter in mma history bar none. Been saying this for 2 years
Agreed. His fights outside of the UFC might be even more nuts than the ones he's had here
@@TroubleOnTheWaterslmao its so crazy and hilarious when you realize it
Dude fr I'll never forget hearing about him cause bisping wouldn't stop talking about him the week of his debut vs Volkan, I think it was actually masvidal vs usman and i was more pumped to see this relatively unknown prochazka guy fight, all i really knew was that he was Rizen champion and explaining to my friends what rizen was. Man he's such a beast
26 KOs 3 Submissions only 1 decision out of 30 Wins is actually god level statistic.
When did you start watching? 2021?
Jiri the last samurai came with the chaos!! He said f*** the technical battle I’m going primitive.
it only worked because rakic is a bum
@@The_Eagle_Official ur the same one calling Jiri a bum before fight, betting a house on Jiri getting KOed inside 2 minutes lol
Its so funny because guy talks about all this calm collective spiritual mindset then he goes in to fight and always fight like a berserk haha.
@@The_Eagle_Official he's not a bum. Lmfao he's a champion calibre fighter. Just how fucking good jiri is.
Jiri is such a humble guy. He is the true definition of a mixed martial artist. Very happy for him. Fight of the night so far.
So proud that we have such a fighter representing our country in UFC🇨🇿🇨🇿
Jiří Procházka's response to the 'Fake Samurai' criticism, where he openly admitted, "of course I'm not a Samurai," showcased his integrity and earned my respect. By addressing the issue with honesty and acknowledging reality, he demonstrated maturity and authenticity. His logical and sensible approach to the situation reflects a well-balanced individual, and I commend him for it. LM
Aleksandar Rakić should never ever call Jiri a Fake Samurai ever again.
Calling him a fake samurai gave him permission to go full destroyer mode.
he ain't from japan, he's just a weeb that watches too much anime
@@The_Eagle_OfficialJapanese fighters literally said Jiri is more Japanese than them.
@@The_Eagle_Official anime? No he does not ... Not a single grown man with testicles watches anime.
@@Tomenczo😂😂😂 damn right
living legend.. cant even tell u how proud it feels to be czech everytime Jiří fights. UFC fans and fighters are not ready for this unique and crazy style where he tanks the most powerful shots with his steel chin and does not even flinch. VITEZSTVI //\\
I'm happy for you! He is a pride for the Czech republic - seems like a such good man, humble, nice, an amazing fighter and a champion who may win the belt again, Sets an example and if he represents your people - i love your people
Crazy thing is that Rakic did everything really well. Good low kicks, held distance, very disciplined performance, easily winning on points. But then he woke up this beast landing combo after combo - and it is over in a few seconds. Jiri is really the master of the chaos and knock-out artist.
Rakic look tired after just 1 round with Jiri. Jiri's real weapon is pace & gas tank. The longer fight goes, the better his chance to win. ie: submitting Glover in the 5th round & Vadim Nemkov cant get up after 10 minutes with Jiri
So wholesome the way he says he’s not a samurai very humble
Jiri is the only man who could make a Rakic fight entertaining
😂 that’s right
😂
Lol dude was like, “Fck a boring technical fight I’m diving and swinging everywhere”.
So true 😂😂😂
Bruh 😀😀😀
a real samurai!!
A European Knight
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 both
Putting him in the Prelims after he just fought for the title is disrespectful as hell.
Honor in defeat. Honor is victory. Jiri is a true Samurai that embodies the Bushido spirit. He lives by the code and dies by the code. In a sport full of fake clout chasers like Sean Strickland, it's refreshing to see truly Honorable men like Jiri shine.
You are copy pasting this comment everywhere. Why do you use Strickland as example are you crazy ? Omalley litteraly has pink hair and pants, Israel is kissing his dog and Sean Strickland is clout chaser ?
Sean is a real one tf you saying
Jiri deserves that 300k
This fight was nuts man
Samurai 🥷
weeb
@@The_Eagle_Officialincel
That's a ninja...
What a fucking fight!!! Deserved to be on the main card
Rakic did a good job but man, once jiri hurt him he was on him like he owned him money. Tremendous finish from Jiri!
He smelled his blood there was no way back
one thing with jiri, his will to win is impregnable. jiri's durability is so underrated, he's really a championship fighter with a lot of heart🔥
The last Samurai made his Statement. 🙏❤️🕶️
Jiri always brings an exciting fight🔥
No interview for Aljo😂💀💀 Fuck!ng luv it
who?
Slow paced fight maybe thats why dana was angry on aljo haha
Still won cope harder insecure manlet :D
It was boring.
Damn i didn't even notice
That was a fight, two savages. Jiri is a beast!
This is our "Jiřina", folks. Our humble hero. Even Bruce tried to pronounce the "Ř" correctly this time when he introduced him in cage. He's not Yuri as many often says, sounds like some Russian guy... He is just tough as tough to pronounce his name worldwide. :)
Guys like this are gonna help push everyone back to our natural understanding of ourselves
I didn’t follow Jiri much until now!! “The perfect storm it wasn’t perfect but it was a storm!!”
Spiritually Jiri is a Samurai. One of the most interesting fighters in the UFC Jiri Prochazka
Such a humble man and a very special fighter. Very underrated and one of the few who’s in a mission when he enters the cage. I hope we see him again with the belt, he deserves it. 🙏
I like how Jiri uses the full extensions of his arms in his punches, it gives them that extra pop to hurt his opponents.
Jiri is one of my favourite fighters of all time. Remarkable fighter and person.
I don’t understand why people love trash talkers. I appreciate fighters like The Samurai, Aldo, Spider, Leon, and so others more that do not need the trash talk to be a great Champion.
neither do I. I hate that part of the show, would rather see more ppl like Jiri
Jiri's humbleness and unbreakable spirit is an inspiration to all
Rakic: You're not a samurai Jiri: So you have chosen death.
Jiri is a real samurai!
Jiri is immortal....code bushido cannot be stopped....
What a savage crazy style 😂
Don’t ever say Jiri is not a samurai or he will KO you brutally 😄
Jiri isn't a samurai, he is THE samurai. He is our honourary samurai and we shall all respect him as such 🥋🥋🥋🥋
The most legendary part is him saying " doesnt matter who is champion tonight may the best win " doesnt even care about revenge vs Alex hw just wants the champion
probably my favorite fighter over the past few years
He's a samurai in my book! Congrats brother ❤
Rakic told him that he is not a samurai Jiri showed him in the cage that he is
He's not a samurai--he's a guy from Czechia, but he's inspiring.
He's samurai
Nah, he's definitely a samurai
Viking
That freaking speech ... Jiří is a warrior not only by body but also by his heart. So inspirative. Proud greetings from Czech Republic :)
His fights are most exciting in the UFC,i never felt boring watching this guy,much respect and we can't wait to see your another fight!
I'm glad Jiri got the 300k bonuses over Alex
The patience in the early rounds and the timing of Jiri were just a true warrior.
its almost immpossible to grasp how he took that many shots and kept coming likes nothing is happening,hes really fkin crazy not like fighter but as person,he has 0 regard for danger hes insane
Jiri will be the champ again
Jiri vs Ankalaev for title fight
Pereira vs Ankalaev first
What a fight!! Congratulations Jiri, honestly he deserved to fight on the main card 100%
Epic level of savgery. And the chin on him, sheeesh. Ate everything.
Best fight and best fighter on the card..jiri 💪🏻
I love how he can make fun of himself whether he wins or not. Not overfocused on his public image but being honest in his way as a man. He’s an inspiration!
He’s one of the best! Never boring . Give him that 300k
The real Samurai.Never give up . Thumbs up My man..
Jiri has a crazy chin and even crazier Mental Strength
Love Jiri! Glad he won, he seems such a good dude
You dare doubt a Samurai..👊🏽💥🧨
This is the man who we all look up to and get inspired by, he is the true embodiment of a "martial artist "
Jiri as close to samurai today as anyone can get
Ty jeho ruce dole mě jednou zabijou. Jsem na tebe strašně pyšná. Gratuluju! 🙏
Jiri is tough as it gets, very happy for him. Took some solid shots today. 300k right there. Imagine the power of Alex to TKO this man.
GIGACHAD Jiri
Jiri made that smooth transition from explaining his samurai status to calling out the winner of the main event then Joe ruined it by asking him what’s next.
Give my man 500k
Jiri needs on the podcast next week
Congrats to the Samurai
IT WAS A STORRRRM
I do like Jiri’s personality seems like a cool dude
My favourite fighter for a reason
How can you not love this guy! I'm so happy he won. He earned it with pain, grit, and belief. And he's so literal and honest. Even in his second language he communicates so well! And he told Joe he wanted to hang with him on his podcast. Stud! I hope it happens.
Wow man - EVERY.SINGLE.WORD! exactly how i feel
@@user-ck6yl6qb2g is it Abed? I studied Hebrew many years ago at an Ulpan on Kibbutz Regavim... am I close?
@@blessedwithchallenges9917 Hey :) Wow i'm glad to hear. No, my name is El'Ad (It's a combination of two words - meaning - god is eternal) Abed is an Arab name, and i'm Jewish. Why did you study in that Kibbutz? are you Jewish BTW? I hope you had a good time there
@@user-ck6yl6qb2g El'Ad - that makes sense! I remember El is God... and of course God is forever! What a cool name!
Love Jiri, Integrity, Respect, Courage, Honour, Compassion, Honesty, Loyalty. The seven principals that make up the Samurai Code of Ethics and he displays them all! He’s a true champion and he’s bringing the right message…
Jiri is Real warrior with a spirit of samurai. 🇨🇿 Great win again and Iam glad to see him again in that creazy fight. 💥
Rakic looked very good tonight
KRÁL JIŘÍ!!
Im glad Jiri bounced back, well deserved!
When he's saying how he's not a samurai in the way of saying it after all he's done, that proves how great samurai he actually is. And I'm Czech also so I've heard many podcasts where he can really express himself in mother language, a true role model and someone who inspires!
No hate u swear But not because you read a book about samurai and living their life's doesn't change the fact that you are not a samurai
@@Jouy195 I don't mean like real real samurai, more like a warrior style of living overall the similar way, with some aspects of samurai and bushido etc. But even as he said, he's a guy from the Czech rep who's living for something and conform some "rules"
@@kiko8554 yes agree Great comment
@@Jouy195 cool
i actually found this post fight interview to be very moving and inspiring AF, great choice of words and the power in his voice made for an excellent delivery
Absolute legend. Him and Alex Pereira
Jiri was vicious in there. Rakic is no joke either
Jiri with the most badass comeback 300k performance
The Czech Samurai ;) Respect from Hungary!
肉を斬らせて骨を断つ 日本の言葉にあるような戦い方をする侍
"Rizin daisuki , Nihon daisuki, victory!!," Jiri prochazka few years ago.
My guy! A Czech Samurai, but he's still a Samurai 👏👏🦾🥷
Much love Jiri ! Thanks 🙏
Jiri is samurai. 💯
