"I'm sorry for that. Next time, I will be better." That response won me over. A very humble person, and a badass.
You can tell he's quite upset about his performance more than winning the title, that is terrifying for future opponents.
@@PeaceDweller exactly. would be happy to see jones against this guy instead of francis
I think it’s the first time I have ever heard someone win their first UFC title and apologise to the crowd saying “I’ll be better next time”
This is European Coulter not fake heroes
Lol
What makes this match greatest fight ever. 1)Jiri had very little experience against top UFC fighters especially wrestler. 2)Glover is 42! 3)The match was both standup as well on ground (unlike Usman vs Colby 1 or Joanna vs weili) Depicting full art of mma. 4)Both were too close to get the finish multiple times. Their cardio and heart fighting at light heavyweight was crazy.(Common in lower weight class) 5)Glover hurt Jiri on standup.Jiri finally submitted him on ground . No match can ever topple this match . Hats off to both fighters .
One of the greatest fights in UFC history, with an insane, in a great card, with 2 great fighters.
It's wild how many clean shots both of the guys took and kept standing and the striker submitting the bjj expert in the last minute was just sensational definitely one of the best title fights in mma history!
Glover rocking Jiri bad only for him to wind up getting submitted is the last thing we expected, let alone in the 5th round. Absolutely insane fight
The last two minutes too where he was winning on score cards such a pleasant surprise by Jiri
Bro Jiri tapped out in the 1st round from guard, his belt should be revoked.
Kinda questionable actually
Did no one see that?
This felt like an old school Pride fight. Both going for the finish. Neither playing safe. Never a dull moment on the ground. With many submission attempts and reversals. Both are Samurais to me.
Believe conceive achieve
Exactly
Jiri's a savage, he doesnt like to win by decision. 19 of his 20 wins have been KOs or submissions
Yah true champs, real warriors, not like other champions fighting in a distance or running. Its great to see these kind of fights again
Damn so true
This guy is an absolute beast. Every time you think hes in a bad spot he pulls some crazy shit to reverse it. What a legend.
So true haha , he’s so unpredictable and always seems to find a way
so true
WHAT BEAST ? HE WAS LOSING.HE İS JUST LUCKY NOOB
He’s kind of sloppy tbh
He tabbed in the first round. He tabbed!!!
As a guy from the Czech Republic I was rooting for Jirka, but to be honest I had 5 heart attacks during the fight. Respect to Glover, incredibly accurate at 42, physically super prepared and to be honest this fight needs a rematch. Hats off to Glover. He's a dude. Congratulations to Jiri. 🏆🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿
God bless you!
As a guy from Czech 🇨🇿 too living in the states for most of my life and being a long time big UFC fan I told my my family before the fight if I ever have a heart attack it will happen tonight but thankfully Jiri 🏆 put 🇨🇿 on the map and I couldn't be any more happier for him and our country. I almost shedded a tear 😢 😆 🤣 thats how proud I am for him and I've always respected glover he is a true warrior.
Piste cesky vy idioti, VITEZSTVI!
As a guy from Poland I am completely shocked. There wasn't fighter like Jiri in LHW. What a champion. I am a big fan of Prochazka.
Genetics 🧬 and hard work 💪
Words cannot express how bananas of a fight that was 🤯

@@hellotron9118 legend lol..what you smoking..glover whooped his ass whole fight with 4 rounds ahead being 42 years old..glover was a far better fighter but lost to an unlucky mistake in the end
by far one of the greatest fights of all time. both hurt each other, back and forth from the first minute to the last. and then it ends in the last seconds by the striker submitting the BJJ black belt. what a sport!
And the first time Glover was submitted in 41 fights over a 20 year career. Madness. Both guys were amazing.
Jiri’s era has just begun. I don’t think there’s anyone in the current roster who’s able to handle his toughness. He proved a controversial point on the ground that to many was his weakness. Controlling Jiri has proven to be more challenging than doing so on the feet! Victorious as promised ✊🏻

Dude is so humble Jesus Christ, he’s gonna be a monster as if he already isn’t, this guy only had 3 fights in the ufc now he is the champ, either way the light heavyweight division is in great hands

Nah he has a lot of holes and gets hit too much jan will knock him out the belt will float around till that one dominant guy returns
@@leonardorodriguez9919 Jiri has all the tools to be that guy he just makes pointless mistakes and isn’t defensive enough on the feet.

@@TheRealAbraxas I agree but his style is begging for a big puncher like Jan to put him to sleep if Glover was younger he wouldn't of got cought in that choke

LMAO I was legit thinking like he fighting like tony the way he was doin all the slow mo shit and switching stances every second he’s tough man he should’ve went for the finish instead of trying ti show off
now its jiri's era...may you reign long warrior💪
He definitely did not earn that the easy way! I feel he is slightly disappointed in himself knowing glover was really beating him up for alot of the fight and took him to the deepest waters he's ever been in. But he should be proud of himself. I know he really cares about the path of a warrior. The warrior is not made from a quick and easy KO, the warrior is made when one can emerge from the deepest and darkest of places.
A good chunk of Jiri's performance was sloppy as well; there was times where he was rushing and that gave Glover a chance to take over. Either way, I'm glad he recognized this.
nice words!
@Acid Goat yeah they need to run this back.
@Acid Goat Dana better not.He better give it to Glover.
@@naturemanironfist5621 immediate rematches are rare. You may not agree with it but jan will probably get it and then glover will have to win one fight and then he gets title shot again. That’s just the way it works most of the time unless Jiri decides to call put glover. Especially when this ended in a finish, regardless of how close the fight is. Would love to see a rematch tho personally especially since Glover won’t be fighting for too long, heard he will retire after a couple more fights?

Jiri really pulled a glover style type of win out on glover himself, well deserved hype and champion status. Glover is also a warrior fighting at this level at his age. Jan vs jiri next will shake the room guaranteed
Jiri: "i never thought, that's why it's good not to think the fight" DC: "did you ever think that would be the way it would end" Dominck Cruz: "DC doesn't prepare"
I think watching Jiri fight is the closest we get to a Colosseum fight , absolute entertainment
In Jiri's past 3 fights he looks like hes about to get knocket out but somehow he manages to finish them all. Idk maybe he has another chin😂. But damn what a fight that was, nobody expected this fight to be this great🔥 one of the best title fights in UFC history💯
Jiri is built different! He got cut early on and went through some really rough moments where it looked like he was out on his feet and he battled through to submit the grappler. Loved his calm demeanor after the fight and "apologizing", even though it was an amazing fight. Also props to Glover for his shof of heart as well, I had Jiri as a favorite, but he proved that his grinding path to the title wasn't a coincidence.
This honestly hurts the soul. Jiri is great but to see Glover lose like this. Absolute pain.

Both guys displayed 0 fight IQ throughout. They just made bizarre decisions in situations when they were gaining momentum which just let the other guy recover.

If you had told me that Glover would outstrike Jiri and then Jiri would submit him. I would not believe you. Great prove that this is the best sport on the planet. Props to Jiri tonight
It's like they switched Jiri - striking Glover - BJJ TO Jiri: BJJ Glover: Striking

Still white knuckled from watching this card, when initially prepared for a gladiator performance from Weili and Joanna, I feel like I got close to the experience of sitting in a colosseum watching Glover and Jiri in this epic battle. I’ve been watching UFC for 4 years but this was remarkable today. I had surveyed many commentaries about the upcoming fight. Most predictions expressed love for both fighters and the age difference. Age did not seem to be the decisive factor today (in my view), but 2 warriors with diff skill sets leading to completely unpredictable outcomes. What I am left with as I watched Jiri take the belt, - the outstanding qualities of respect, willpower, honor, courage, are still at the heart of this amazing sport and these two warriors brought me to tears today. Can’t wait for Jan and Jiri battling it out for old Europe.

You know this was a perfect fight, Because it was time to pass the guard...like lhw needed younger fighters..so according to the universe jiri needed to win but also didn't make glover look like a nobody, glover actually beat the shit out of him and almost won but also the final result of jiri becoming the winner came to fruition. It was the passing of the torch. Perfect ending
The calmness and humbleness is unique
This was fight of the year for me absolute mayhem loved it all the way through. Hats off to both 👏
Jiri had a tough fight because of his style, bending his head to the opponent with hands down and making risky moves. His ability to get back after a take down is impressive. His chin man, he got caught so many times by SUPER heavy shots and recovered like it was a medium shot. He in my opinion is tied up for the best chin in UFC history with Tony, look at the up kick by Reyes that sent him down, he recovers like he just lost 1 life and continues to fight with his other lives. Of course his striking, in my opinion is currently the best in UFC. His wrestling isn’t that bad but he needs to improve it! The way he tricked Teixeira for the rear-naked choke was so impressive. In my opinion ties up with fight of the year with the Khamzat vs Burns fight. Sad to see Teixiera lose after all his achievements in the UFC and his promess to his grandpa of becoming champ.
I think he has an incredible offense, but his defence on the stand up is very vulnerable especially on the later rounds when fatigue becomes a factor. I think to be a complete striker he needs to improve on that, because guys like Izzy hardly get caught and that's what makes him the best striker at the moment in my opinion.
i think he needs better coaches because his ground defense is shit when it comes to defending punches and elbows but also if glover couldn't finish him on ground then nobody else will.
Max Holloway has the best chin in UFC
@@tarunverma8355 I think his defense on the ground was pretty high level. Got caught with 1 elbow after spending 5 rounds on the ground with a specialist. We saw what happened to Anthony Smith when he was in the same position. Jiri, apart from the cut, looked pretty clean.
@@tarunverma8355 you are smoking man. No one was ever able to stand up so many times against Glover, no one was ever able to get out of that many super TIGHT submission attempts. Jiri was not satisfied by his performance tonight as he made a lot of mistakes, but it was a Fight of the year contender and both fighters really gave it all they had. Props to both, huge respect for both no matter the outcome.
Ultimate choke job by Glover. Hell of a fight though and respect to both.
@@beaualIoevv get a life

@@beaualIoevv I agree with everything you said but…. Jiri kills Izzy bro cmon now.
Izzy CANNOT ko Jiri. Saying Izzy would Ko Jiri made me cringe, and I like Izzy.
What a amazing fight!! It was a real war. Respect for Jiri and Glover and thanks for this beautiful fight. Greetings from Poland🇵🇱 Now I wait for Prochazka vs Błachowicz on stadium in Warsaw.
Jirko bylo to boží :-) Lepší jak u Polívky v divadle! :-) A ta totální pointa na závěr.. Tu by nevymyslel ani nejodvážnější mma scenárista :-) Tohle bude mít ještě dlouhý dopad, až se všichni proberou z toho šokistického průběhu. Díky za super zážitek a hodně štěstí! Crazy figt, up/down, dynamic scenario, unexpected finish. Big gold medal and thanks and good luck for both!
