Now I want to see that
Jiri via submission because I want a trilogy
Stop Dana can only get so hard
nah honestly i have a weird feeling that jiri is gonna submit alex with a rear naked choke
come back to this after the fight.
edit: jiri didn’t wanna win tonight i guess
Jiri has not been acting as strange as normal. I think he might be getting reverse CTE.
He is literally having spiritual enlightening now, everything is fine
Not as bad as locking himself in a dark room for 3 days. He has descended to Diego Sanchez levels of strange.
Jiri has always been a quirky guy, punching trees and screaming in the middle of the forest
I like how you said that and followed it by everything is fine 😂
Nah, just enlighten Sprite
Ohh yeah the old ETC!

Really not the craziest prediction. Short notice fights are always weird and Alex is coming off of a camp against a kickboxing purist.
In a world where Jiri does win though I’d put my money on a TKO. Alex got hit with a few good ones in their first bout and he has only gotten even older since then.

Schawing and a miss. But I respect you standing by your guy.
It wasn't a matter of wanting to win. It's that Alex looked legit a full league above Jiri.
I came back to see this age like milk

The “you have no spirit” line may have awoken something, either way it will have an outcome on the fight I think, good or bad, not sure if Alex said it or it’s just mistranslated by the translator
Alex for me. I was not a fan of how jiri looked against rakic. He took a lot of shots to the head and got his legs messed up super quick. I heard it takes legs awhile to start to feel normal again.
Jiri really didn't change anything stylistically from when he fought Alex to when he fought rakic that I could noticeably see. He took so many shots from rakic just straight to the head.
Like yeah, he walked through them, but I don't know if you wanna try to continue to walk through shots when you're fading Pereira whose left hook lifted him off the floor
Yup.. This....
I love Jiri and actually like him slightly more than how much I like Poatan so I HOPE he wins BUT....
Jiri was basically lucky to not get cold KOd by Rakic. He fought an incredibly dumb fight... Basically aggressive with no defense against a knockout artist. Poatan is better than Rakic. Jiri fights again like that and he's sleeping with the samurai...
I feel like that’s his style though. Jiri is always very awkward and also always very hittable, but it’s his chin and power and his opponents willingness to get into a fist fight with him that allows him to knock them out before they knock him out.
I think so, too. But it defies any sense to fight that way against AP. The first time, sure, maybe he thought his awkward style would match up well vs AP. It didn’t, really. But to take the rematch, he must believe he can win. He must see something we don’t. The alternative is that he’s just crazy.
Have you seen his training? Yeah, he’s crazy. Even just a little bit. It’s sheer craziness just to become a fighter. Their mindset is on another level, so I think Jiri is crazy enough to really think he can win. I have a feeling he has so much confidence in himself that he’s going to continue to stand with him.
I kind of hate how people are surprised that wow, Jiri actually thinks he might win… I understand that Pereira is the mainstream shit right now (and he is amazing, not saying he’s not), but Jiri is an elite fighter that can hang with and defeat the best.
Nat saying you’re wrong, but Rakic is not a knockout artist
“I heard it takes legs a while to feel normal again”
Wdym by that? Like after his fight they take a while to heal?
just to add to this, while Jiri is unorthodox that doesn't mean you cannot get used to that style. More often than not the orthodox fighter figures out the unorthodox fighter as the fight goes on. Alex has seen almost 2 rounds of Jiri. There is a decent chance he get the timing down quite quickly this fight. But Jiri is a guy who is willing to die there in one exchange and Alex isn't invulnerable looking, not by a long shot. Jiri can certainly get it done, but i favour Alex
Legs messed up super quick? Is this Rogans burner account? He was moving fine.
He has the oddest style. He just kinda waddles around the octagon, hands by his hips, bouncing around, throwing wide, lunging, looping shots from his hips and occasionally swaying his upper body. Sometimes his head movement is non-existent, other times his upper half looks like a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. For some reason, he rarely actually raises his guard and just eats punches or tries to weave out of the way while simultaneously moving forward, which has a varying success rate.
I’ve got Alex as well. Jiri is just too hittable, and his style seems to be based on his ability to take a shot and return one or two of his own. Thats a hard way to fight against a glory kickboxer
One Punched Man
damn i thought it was mob
Chuck Liddel hasn’t looked so good in years.
Doctors don’t want you to know this one trick.
Love them both, but I hope Jiri takes it so we can get a trilogy
Hopefully Jiri for some fresh material
If Jiri is cautious of his left hook, I think so. Jiri was getting the best of him and making him uncomfortable the whole fight. Alex is so used to being on the front foot, but in their bout Jiri was on the front foot a majority of the time.
I got Jiri by TKO
That's a BIG if but I don't disagree with you at all
This going to be post another 20 times before the fight
Chuck "The Shaman" Poatan by Spiritual submission
For those saying Jiri by submission, I believe the time to submit Pereira has long since passed. Jiri isn’t much of a grappler specialist, he’s more of a striker. Although Jiri does have grappling skills, I believe Pereira has enough experience to keep the fight standing..of course I’ve been wrong before but my prediction is, Jiri attempts to get the fight to the ground but somehow ends up on the bottom and gets ground and pounded.

Alex. But this mma and anything can happen.
Hopefully Jiri so we get a sick trilogy
Alex wins via curse. I predict Jiri will fall 2 seconds into round one and vomit ectoplasm, ending the fight right there. Easy win for Alex.
Alex “with that look in his eyes” Pereira
Bro is the new iceman
I like Jiri but he is to easy to hit and he welcomes it.
Draw
Chuck Liddell wins, stupid question. Next!
Until this very mom I thought Alex
But jiri can’t lose with that one punch man shirt
I think Poatan wins just cuz of all the damage jiri took in his last fight
Alex by evil spirits
Think Poatan takes it
Chalex
Jiri is going to switch it up and make early takedown attempts. Alex catches him with a knee on the way in and finishes with hammer fists
I’ve got Chuck Liddell to become 2x lhw champ
My hearts want Jiri but my head says Alex.
Jiris defence is just to one dimensional and leaning on his toughness. With a striker like Poatan, I don't see that being a smart strategy.
Poatan
Chulex Lideira
Okay I was an Alex Fan until I see jiri with one punch man merch
Alex by armbar
I want jiri to win, in my gut i think jiri will win, i want a trilogy. But iteration one of those fights, you hate for either man to lose.
The dude not whining about ritual magic.
Pereira by black magic
My heart is divided, but I'm with The One Jiri Man 51/49
Nah Alex slaps this guy with that haircut
Chama
Funny because Alex is Saitama . Gets bored because of his awesome power, let's you think he's in trouble only to end the fight with ONE PUNCH
I’ll bite. I’m a huge Poatan fan, but even I thought the fight w Jiri was an early stoppage. Only saying that bc I think Jiri would not have stopped til he was dead. I thought both men had an equally good chance of winning the rematch.. Until I heard that Jiri thinks Pereira is using magic to win fights. Sounds like AP is in his head giving Alex a slight advantage. Gonna be an incredible night and it’s a shame either man has to lose.
I bet on Saitama, you cant bet against caped baldy.
Chuck poatan
Alex Liddell might be the scariest thing I’ve ever seen
Alex imo gets it done. One punch man Goated
Jiri is getting slept. He’s overrated and always has been. Got to the top of the division after a generation shift. Pereira is on another level.
Imagine you walk into your room and Alex pereira is giving your girl the business from behind and he looks at you like that.
Is that a fantasy of yours?
My fantasy is butter boobs
Alex fans are weird af
Yeah they are. Good thing I’m rooting for jiri
Fans are just weird in general, like real hardcore (borderline mentally ill) fans, people who will get their favorite athlete or entertainer's face or name tattoo'd on their body.
Yeah I’ve never understood that either. It’s hella weird when people have some famous persons face on them and they’ve never met them
Alex fighting with a Liddell cut would be sick
