Alex training with Jiri to destroy Izzy and DDP will bring actual peace to the UFC world CHAMA

jiri and alex become friends and training partners and jiri becomes the gatekeeper of the division until alex moves up to heavyweight, jiri fights for vacant belt against new contender next year (wins) and is always gracious and humble like always

Chael at his best right here

I think Jiri is considering going to middleweight is purely because he almost doesnt cut weight. He's constatly 20 pounds lighter than his opponents. He even said in czech interviews many times that he believes there should be no weight divisions, so thats why he doesnt cut weight. Maybe he just now realized how much of a difference it makes when you do it like everybody else.

That reminds me, I'd like to see Jiri vs Izzy at either weight class

ddp vs jiri would be crazy

Jiri vs Khamzat Chimaev in Abu Dhabi would be Fantastic

Pierra outsmarted Jiri, early. Ate the jab, knowing Jiri is probably looking for the left-right combo, and in the middle, threw that perfect left hook, with that pinpoint accuracy, full wind up. That's just knowing what the guy in front of you likes to do and being primed to take advantage of it. So we know he's more tactical, tailored in his strategy to who he is fighting, and more mercurial than Jiri. Alex's development at what weapons to use against opponents and when, is finding more levels. Jiri was in a bad place, the Shaman stuff was a bit of a clue, fretting about what didn't matter, not comfortable in his skin. This is all part of the fight game, yes? Alex is peaking with confidence and accomplishment. So we learnt that. I wanted at least four rounds of chaddery. Early KOs do deprive you of a storyline. When the gas tanks emptied, how did the story twist and turn? That's why the Jiri/Glvoer fight is most people's favourite. The ebb and flow, the exchanging of dominance, facing each other at the start of the fifth, they are two different men than who started that fight. That's storyline. So yes, we still haven't seen what they have when it becomes more of a war of attrition. Anyway, the good news is that Jiri is back in the saddle of cope, which we like to see, sort of, and that he wasn't himself, and he isn't so fey as to... what was it, throw the flint into the rye... I guess that's a Czech version of spit the dummy out... and he'll decide in a month if he's keen on MW. (Yes, I think it's the latent sadist in me that wants to see Jiri create carnage amongst those prima donna MWs.) Chael, this video seemed almost paternal.

Love watching the episodes when Chael speaks on the mental challenges of combat sports. Whether it's losing a fight or having a bad day at the office, questioning our own abilities - being resilient is a skill we all have to acquire and reacquire. Hope everyone has a fantastic Sunday.

That’s the move he should do if we’re being honest. He won’t have a title shot as long as Alex is there. He’s in the same situation as Max Holloway vs. Volk

Hey Chael, please cover the issue of khamzat burning his fans with the crypto scam situation.

Jiri is a pure, lvl 99 str and lvl 1 def. He may dominate at middleweight because they just don't hit as hard.

Jiri should just go train at the Dutch pro kickboxing gym for 6-12 months. A modicum of defense improvement and he can take out pereira and everyone else at 205

Jiri hadn’t lost in years and destroyed all his competitors he just ran into a guy who had the toughest skill set for his style where he leans heavy on his front leg, fights hands down and chaotic on the feet.

Damn when Chael said "there is no man among us that could have taken that shot", I remembered a fight that sadly never happened Vettori vs Piera would have been interesting, imho..

Alex is not just powerful, he's masterful with range and timing. His length helps him when he pulls but he has a tendency to retreat straight backerds and also keeps his chin a little high when he does so. Somebody long gone touch that chin again

A coach that will get TF to keep his bloody right hand up ! The KO , every ko has been a left hook 🎉😂

Think Alex has only lost like 8 fights total. Def wanna give him Alex’s skills

Would love to see Jiri at 185.

This is a martial arts philosophy master class.

Maybe middleweight is a good move for Jiri. Yes, I would give my son Alex skills. He’s a world champion kickboxer and a UFC two division champion. Alex is also thinking about going to boxing and winning a world championship. If he does that he is the GOAT.

Once again, bro got a yappucino for me in the morning, thank you uncle Chael !

Chael cooking on this one n im with him id love to see jiri vs any of those MWs like ddp or izzy

But uncle, you forgot the fact that Alex did it to him twice..but yeah ,Jeri should keep those hands up more..

It would be interesting seeing him at middleweight would be some what interesting but I think he is a little to big it would be a rough cut but if he got that under control he could potentially own that Divison I don't think Kmazat could rag doll he has the power to k.o. guys like Strickland DDP and Izzy I also think he is big enough and good enough to rag doll some of those guys like Izzy and Whitaker it would be interesting if Yoel was sill in the mix and on of the top guys Paulo would be an interesting fight but I think Jiri would sleep him if he could healthy cut to middleweight he could really dominate that division I really feel like even though he is big enough Alex is at his perfect weight for him Jiri is most likely to but if he does it right he could be a long term champ in that divison

Alex is not JUST power. Yes, a big part of his game is power, but his accuracy, pace, and size play a big role in his success too. Not to mention the guy is always training, never drinking, and is steadfast af.

"But I don't know the date" 😂

Jiri vs Michel Pereira would be super entertaining

If it’s strictly about Jiri fighting for the title middleweight does make the most sense it’ll be very hard to get a third fight with Alex after you’ve already had two in the last three months

I don't think he can make 185. I don't see how Alex did. But Jiri is naturally thicker and that's a hard cut, I don't see it happening. He is a big 205lb guy. He probably walks around at 235 240 between fights.

It would jiri badly to cut to 185... jiri walks around at 222lbs and comes in at fight night weighing 218lbs.

He has terrible defense at 205 even if he goes to 185 this won't change how terrible his defense is. Honestly he should stay at 205 but if he really wants to chanhmge weight class a heavyweight move would be better than 185 for his body and more interesting, can you imagine jiri vs Tom? Or jiri vs volkov? He should call out volkov try to beat him and than call out Tom or Jon jones. He is 6'4 and is a huge puncher at 205 plus he is pretty fast for a 205er, he would even be more dangerous for most heavyweight in the top 5, he will be faster than most of them and he has enough power to ko most of them, plus his style of constant attack would work well against the top 5. if he tries to move to 185 if you consider his bad defense and the fact he will cut 20 extra pounds from his normal cut to 205 his chin will probably be affected his strength too, I don't think he will be as good as it is at 205 plus fighters are also faster at 185. If he goes to 185 its going to be like Paul creg who was ranked in the top 15 at 205 when he decided that cutting 20 pounds to 185 was a really good idea, the result is two ko lose and he isn't even in the ranking anymore lol, at least he was ranked at 205 but now he lost both. Jiri should stay at 205 being ranked in the top 5 isn't bad, why would you risk losing your ranking.

I thought the first fight got called way too quickly for a championship fight.

Jiri vs Whittaker would be a spectacular war.

Pereira's "power" is 100% his skill, he sets up every KO in his fights

I sure hope Jiri doesn't retire, and I think he could be a champ at middle weight.

Jiri would be a destroyer at MW but it seems like it would be hard for him to make 185. He's only 31 and has only lost to arguably the best striker on the planet rn

I have always wondered Jiri's philosophy on weight cutting or if he even does it. For all we know he could be like Covington and just fight at his natural weight. He does not strike me as a particularly massive LHW, would love to see him fight at middle weight.

The only issue with Jiri staying at 205 is that he's beaten most of the top talent except for Poatan, and depth isn't as good as in the middle divisions. Jiri is a pretty big 205 though, not sure how he would carry power, durability and endurance down.

Uncle Chael, if you don't believe Uncle Chael could have taken that shot, then you don't know Uncle Chael.

100%. Jiri lost to Alex twice but he is still capable or beating ANYONE else in that division. He is not done at all. If Alex goes up even more and if he goes down a weight class EVEN more! I love the concept and the match ups would be WAY BETTER. I also feel like it will slightly extend jiris career. Jiri is more than okay in his situation. He’s gonna take his time now and come back. 2-3 fight win streak when he comes back. Calling it right now. Not taking away anything from Alex. What a beast. But he’s not done. 100%

Juri definitely needs to be more defensively efficient. That's so obvious big Chael 😆

he should get immediate no1 contending fight now right? or can only alex get away with moving up on a loss and getting immediate no 1 contender fight?

Jiri was the fastest to be a champion in UFC history. Won the belt in only his third UFC fight. Impressive.

Jiri training with firaz would be a great matchup

I think itd be cool to see Jiri at MW. My only concern is Jiri is a big dude, could he cut that much?

Jiri and Dustin both peaked during the wrong era 😅 Dustin lost to prime Khabib, prime Oliveira, prime Islam, and prime Gaethje. Jiri lost to Alex twice, and neither fight resulted in Alex so much as walking out with so much as a scratch. But if Jiri can make 185, I’d love to see him in that division. Bc if Jiri manages to make 185 and wins the title, he’ll be the first to ever move down from LHW to Middleweight

Make it happen 🔥🔥🔥

He needs to either put on 10 pounds of muscle or keep slimming down and go to mw. He looked thinner against Alex in the rematch. He just came off the 3 day food fast which shrinks the stomach and body because he trained in that time also. So he didn't gain all that weight back in time while stepping up his training for the rematch

He is at the moment the second best guy at 205. He doesn't need to destroy his body to drop 20 lbs. He needs to figure out how to beat the #1 guy.

Whoever said Jiri vs Dustin I'm 100% in

Dam I’m happy you have started posting more again been missing ya.

Please do not retire Jiri!!!! 🇺🇲

I thought they had a rematch clause no matter who won or lost. At least that's what the commentators said.

I’m not saying he couldn’t be successful at middleweight, but when has the answer to getting knocked out ever been to cut more weight and go down a division. The lighter you go the more skilled they get. And I know jiri has never had chin issues besides against Alex, but if he starts doing a big weight cut that could change. Either way though whatever jiri decides to do, I’m watching

Power can be a skill

Everyone sleeping on Alex ground Game

I dont see 20 extra lbs on Jiri for him to lose and make 185. Him working on his tech is gonna be hard when the entire camp goes into starving himself

Uncle chael on a roll

Honestly Jiri needs to work more on defense than he does a lighter weight class.

Dricus advised Jiri to move down to Middleweight

That's a huge weight cut to get down to 185, only to risk fighting guys like Whittaker. If he does that huge cut, then loses he has to retire at that point. I'd rather see him fight Jamahal and then decide what he wants to do. Plus he could win everyone over again if he shuts Jamahal up lol

Interested in seeing him at that weight

Jiri needs to keep his hands up is all

Chael sometimes you break this down to such a simple explanation. Even a doofus like me can understand. Undefeated.

Personally, I don't think he should drop in weight. I think he should go to Heavyweight.

Skills keep you out the way of shots

If Alex can make 185, Jiri can. I'm not sure why people think it's drastic. Jiri cuts very little weight. And if he's currently stuck at 205, he could have a few big fights at 185 and return to 205 when Alex moves on. They are 5 years apart.

Do we ever get to the tough guy part with Alex? One time he had to dig deep and steal a victory from the jaws of defeat was a middleweight fight.

I want Jiri vs khamzat

imagine alex in slapboxing lol

Jiri needs to learn how to not get hit. Hes got as far as he has because he can take a shot and not go away. I've seen Jiri get knocked out and come to before the ref realized and the win fight!

Jiri should go to heavyweight

Jiri would run thru the MW division

Alex is the highest level of kickboxing. Period. Enough for Izzy to learn self defense against wrestling.

DDP said that Jiri weighs less than him outside of fight camp so if DDP is fighting at middle weight Jiri needs to go down to 185 as well. The UFC needs to fix the weight cutting situation and do the skin caliper body fat % say to fight at 185 pounds you need to be 6-8% body fat on the skin caliper at a healthy normal weight to fight instead of getting down to near death low body fat levels. You think mcgregor at 145 didnt take a few years off his life ? i gurantee it does! it is deadly they need to stop this drastic weight cut it serves nobody

You just made all that up dude, I get why people hate on you Chael.

hell yeah, Jiri needs to go down to 185, bring some awkwardnes to the division, cut the weight Jiri dam it.

Undefeated

Jiri needs time to think. He can rush into training and getting better but that won't give his brain enough time to do two things: Heal and create Retrospect. Without Retrospect, he cannot come to an epiphany about how to move further beyond.

Chael maybe doesn't know that when you level up you get a skill point you can add to any attribute you choose with out loosing any skill levels of the other attributes ..

Coz-mut Chew my ev. Get him, uncle Chael!!!

Feel jiri is panicking and i dont think he should yet

9:00 Max Holloway could've taken that shot

Yeah but but tito definitely tapped though

“ Pay - Era “

Jiri moving down to MW after losing to Poatan twice only to KO Izzy would be fucking hilarious

Honestly if he can't stand with Alex idk how he would expect to get pass Izzy. Yall can hate Izzy all you want but he strikes better than Alex skillwise. And Jiri will most likely want to stand

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇨🇿🇨🇿

Conor Vs khabib is a good example like Conor didn’t go in his next fight trying to be a wrestler uno

Jiri beats Strickland and Izzy and ddp, but Alex could drop down and sleep him. His chin and wreckless attack is difficult to deal with

I think the weight cut would be too much for jiris chin. Much like poatan vs Izzy two

I thought it was me alone 😂😂 Jiri is only 31 he still has a lot left in my opinion whatever he does next he is my guy and im here for it

Jiri vs all those guys I’m 100p in Strickland fight the most exciting but it’s title or nothing for him .

Did Chael just…… pronounce Jiri name right 🥹

Why so many cuts now in your videos? You're slippin

Jiri should just stay like Whittier

Didn't land on Blachowicz, Chael

Chaels not gonna be happy with Prohauska when he hears the tale about his tick bite

Strickland won that fight. Imo and he should have got a immediate rematch, but no Izzy gets the fight. The Diaz brother’s get the short end of the stick too from ufc IMO! Also Jon jones is the best also imo. I come to your channel and Jesse 🔥channel! Thankyou Linda from Ny. Nate us going to get the win! Jorge is a bully imo!
