@@cooler14270 I think his mindset shows through the language barrier. I respect the fact that he isn’t leaning on an interpreter and has enough respect to take questions in English and answer in English because he knows who the audience is. Is he a linguist? No. Most aren’t. But there’s many international fighters who don’t even bother approaching the English language.

The UFC needs to start giving away $1,000 to whichever reporter can ask the most interesting question for each fighter interview. You can't make a fighter interesting if you don't give them interesting questions. I can't believe one of the reporters asked about Jiri's reaction to a freaking soccer game. The 21st century has made a complete joke out of journalism.

Jhonny fuc*er caught me off gaurd 😂😂
alex is so much better then rest of the division but I think jiri has the biggest chance in beating poatan
Channeling spirits in sports and the entertainment industry in general is more prevalent than people think. With that said, Jiri most likely taps into the same type of energy while meditating without even realizing it; so I'd say they're on even ground, in that context.
@staysolid19

Yup they all have occult backgrounds
As much as I respect Poatan & am a huge fan of him, I have to say that this fight could go 50-50. These 2 are true warriors. The intensity of these 2 being face to face in the octagon or anywhere, is on just another level. No fighters in the current roster of the UFC have this much aura. Although, I will admit that Max vs Ilia fight could be on a somewhat similar level.
He looks ready. you can tell he is hyped to fight on Saturday. Jiri is the man!
Jiri exudes a youthful, healthy aura this time. I'm rooting for Alex, but I can't shake the gut feeling that an upset is on the cards.

*MMA journalism has to be the easiest job in the world; all they have to do is ask the same questions asked at every pre-fight press conference ever, or just talk about shit that has absolutely nothing to do with MMA. Idgaf about hockey either. This is a complete waste of everyone's time, and absolute disrespect to the fighters and the fans.* P.S. I do realize the irony of tuning into every one of these, so I guess we're all dunces.

Jiri was reading the Book of five rings for years, last year he read the Art of War. This was perfect. Assuming he wants Alex to think he is crazy and won't change a thing. 50/50 in my book, Jiri might be playing mind games, or be dead serious. Anyone's guess. He'll win either way.

He just said he'll change nothing. As if leg kicks and being off balance after overextending recklessy with hands down didn't leave him defenseless many times. I love Jiri but he only had success because of his randomness but Alex has already felt it and is prepared now
Most people and most fighters have zero idea what a word is. A word is a spell and alex knows it very well ( black magic). When poirier talks of makhachev and say "I know I can beat this guy", he already lost. When whittaker says "I know I'm gonna win this fight" (aliskerov), He already won. When jiri says: 'I’ve Watched Our First Fight Many Times & Would Not Change a Thing", he's saying I'm gonna lose again. Le verbe est créateur. All around and inside you, everyone and everything, is sound frequency fluctuations. You create your reality through your words.
He threw in the comment “short notice” and what ever happens” and throws in the use of magic is other interviews.. realness see right past this one .. he also says he jumps into preparation.. “take your chance” and I think he knows it’s not no dang magic it’s that Left hand and the power of Alex strikes. He’s knows what’s up
