People forget that Alex got KO’d bad this year and Jiri hasn’t had a UFC fight in over a year… so he’ll be the more durable fighter plus he’s a big puncher… all of that makes me believe the winner of this fight will be Jiri Prochazka.

Peak sigma energy

I want Alex to win but Jiri just seems to be more bigger more stronger and experienced , this one is gonna be good.
Jiri still is champ in my eyes. He never really lost the belt so this is sort of his first title defence.

True but Jiri can more easily hurt Alex. He hits harder than izzy by a mile. Izzy isn't even a hard hitter and Alex got flatlined

@@HugoStiglitz88 alex took punches from jan pretty well though tbh. izzy definitely has deceptive power as well. all about where you place a shot. izzy knocks people out when they fall into traps that he’s setting. happened with costa and whitikker. on top of all that alex’s weak chin can be attributed to the brutal weight cut that he had to do just to make 185. it’s a miracle he didn’t suffer from organ failure.

A life of ultimate focus 🔪
This guy was a soccer hooligan once. Must have been the final boss of soccer hooligans. Glad he turned his life around, though.
He is the champion and this is his first defence but and new alex poatan

Whoever told buddy that English is one of the hardest languages to learn has only ever had to learn English.
Jiri is a silent assassin.

Alex had a hard time with Jan he’s gonna have a hard time with this guy too.
poatan will knock his ass out
