Jiri and Poatan are the best characters in the division. These guys are amazing.

UFC is nuts for putting jiri in prelims card.

“Glover, this is for us.” I mean..isnt he fkn awesome.

All my homies love Jiri

This guy is gangster. Love the response to the 300k

"Glover that's for us" I love Jiri man

This guy is an ambassador of the sport regardless of the belt. He’s above all these guys. He’s seeing a much bigger picture

his fights are an absolute whirlwind. I know I know... we can all make a list of reasons why he shouldn't do this or that. But who cares, I fucking love this guy

I love jiri

"With the money you are free and can do good things"

Jiri is so wholesome

Love how Schmo lets Jiri take his time talking, I’m glad he’s willing to practice his English. Love Jiri

That english is what makes Jiri so lovable 🤣🤣🤣

The Last Samurai. This man is absolute G.

Jiri is one of the most likeable dudes in the UFC. Very good guy.

Jiri, Schmo, Helen, $300k and pizza. Just too perfect!

the Schmo is really something, he's not boring and still gives props to the fighters and not making it about himself.

Glover vs. Jiri wasn't just fight of the year. It's arguably the greatest fight in ufc history.

Jiri always tries to communicate with his feelings along with language... and I'm here for it

I love this guy!! Congrats from Brazil!! 🇧🇷🇨🇿

Alex rated Jiri higher. Real knows the real

Jiri seems a good dude! Humble

How can you not love this man. To hell with Conors antics. You can be a good man and popular

This was fucking heartwarming. Schmo - you da man, man. 👍

Jiris english is so broken yet so perfect and literal at the same time

The Schmo always has the best interviews

Respect and love for you jiri

Awww that hug at the end gave me life 🥹

People forget this guy doesn't really speak English. Listen to him speak now. It's insane how good he is. Using phrases like "perfect storm". Can't wait for them to run it back.

jiri is the man. cheers from Brazil

This guy is a classy,humble warrior..... Best wishes to him...

They put this man on the pre lims while hes next in line for title shot

Loved the wayJiri hugged the Schmo. That was wholesome.

Jiri is great! Cheers from Poland!

He speaks good English for a Czech, I love you czech people! Miluiu Vas!

Schmo that was a really awesome and creative gift well done

I'll explain the Jiri prochazka samouraï situation in détail (shout-out to blue eyed samouraï Andy hug , RIP) : Jiri was a young holligan and started Muay Thai to improve his street fighting skills . His coach offered him the book of five rings, strategy book from famous samouraï Myamoto Musashi (undefeated) and since then was inspired from it . He eventually fought in Japan in RIZIN FF where he became popular (build up like continuity of Mirko CRO cop when CROcop was finishing his career . Rizin ff (attempt of recreating legendary organizations pride FC , same CEO Sakakibara, and btw have best MMA gloves in market since pride FC unlike crappy UFC and one FC ). This is when I became a fan of Jiri prochazka , in 2016 with his fight vs Karl Albreksson . Jiri became rizin light heavyweight champion defeating King Mo Lawal (back then the only guy to ko him , 8 years later Pereira ko him for second time of his life). Some japanese fans compared his attitude with Swiss legendary kyokushin and kickboxer (from golden age of heavyweight) Andy hug (1996 K1 WGP champion, and most popular foreign fighter ever in Japan , even more than prime , rampage Jackson, wanderlei Silva, Mauricio, Fedor , Crocop, Don From, Coleman etc...) . It was during the golden age of K1 . Who was Andy Hug ? : He was a finalist in the most prestigious kyokushin karate event , world open (open weight) against kyokushin karate GOAT Shokei Matsui (loss close fight) . (Back then only japanese win until Brazilian legend and K1 finalist vs mark hunt : Francisco filho). Andy hug became popular in karate and later in kickboxing, because of his will to represent karate spirit and his speciallity , the famous axe kick ("kakato Geri") . He died by leukemia after his last fight vs Mirko CROcop , buried in Kyoto with honorific title of samouraï. It was big deal on TV news in Japan back then with a big funeral in both Switzerland and in Japan . (Now , from this generation , Bernardo legend from south Africa and Branko cikatic also passed away, RIP) I understand the comparison and Jiri prochazka have a better understanding of these things than casual MMA fansbwhibjust want character , and btw he got his green belt in kyokushin karate before this fight . Jiri was fighting long time in Japan (rizin champion) and As popular there , Andy hug (rip) had many nickname in his career ("tetsujin" iron man, "mister karate" , with peter aerts and Ernesto hoost was the only 3 kickboxer who was called "mister K-1") and he was called blue "eyed samouraï" by japanese kickboxing fans. Jiri never claimed to be a samouraï but being inspired by samouraï myamoto Musashi, he already said it when he was fighting in japan. (When fought in UFC did his hair in tribute to Muay Thai fighters as well btw ) . But honestly, if japanese fans called a foreign fighter "blue eyed samouraï " during the 90's , I don't see the problem of calling Jiri prochazka a "samouraï" as well (human samouraï,in rizin some called him the " Czech samouraï" ) . There is no mockery to make , it happened before for one extremely popular fighter in k1 . Jiri is far from being as popular as Andy hug in Japan but some japanese fans compared Jiri prochazka attitude to Andy hug 's attitude and for old school fans it's understandable. Happy to see him win , watch all his fight since 2016, always said he will win when was underrated and not famous, for the first time, I though he would lose to rakic but won like typical Jiri I use to watch. Very happy for the "Czech samouraï" .

"Glover, that's for us"

WARRIOR AND CHAMPION MENTALITY

Jiri is such a cool dude !

Its a shame you cant hear Jiri speaks fluently cause of the Language barrier. i am from Czech Republic and I know this guy. He speaks very good. But in English he is just nervous and thinks about the right words all the time and it makes him talk werid shit sometimes. But He is very intelligent fluently speaking humble guy

I’ve never seen a jiri interview and I know it’s because of his language barrier but he reminds me of me of my younger bro who’s a little on the spectrum it’s wholesome

Samurai warrior x 5 . Jiri he looked double your size and your relentless energy and willpower seems like something out of a gladiator movie you deserve 300 and some . Thank you

something is oddly likeable about jiri and his english. He is like so serious, that interview when he says no problem if problem i knock on his door. stone fucking cold 0 hesitation he speaks facts and the truth only. dude doesnt even flinch. But in a cool way. idk, that shit cracks me up cuz u know he is always dead serious and stoic. just spittn facts lol. sick fight I liked the come back. It was also funny the build up to the fight was hela funny unintentionally cuz jiri is like I AM A SAMURI and the dude was like NO you arent, I AM!!, and jri was like NO FK YOU!! it was like watching 2 kids argue over whose the sickkest sooo funny but they are adults lol. def Tony Ferguson vibes you love to see it but low key says shit that is fun af but is stone cold serious.

Most entertaining fighter in the world 100%

Pereira vs Prochazka 2 next

He looks very focused all the time.l became fan of his since after the Reyes fight that was spectacular back elbow

Love Jiri. One of my favorite fighters. Always witnessing something incredible when he fights

The Schmo's got a lovely job

Jiri is a badass. You’re the man Schmo

CSchmo does a GREAT interview‼️👊👊 Vinny 🇺🇸

I love Jiri but Alex is my fighter. These are two good guys and I hope they have a great fight.

Alex vs Jiri 2...aint nobody wanna see hug machine Ankalaev.

Schmo knows

A really nice interview.

Wassup schmo 😎 cool interview as always...and im oout

Alex and Jiri are literally the definition of "Warriors born in the wrong era".🔥

Bro got the ko then pulls up in a box logo 😮‍💨

Jiri sounds like MCU Thor, but without having to try.

“Now I’m starting to take this seriously” bro literally what.

Glover that's for us - he didn't said oh for me ? thank you What a respectfull guy Very nice gift Schmo , i hope you have one for Glover too :D

Jiri is a real warrior.

if all fighters would have the Jiri's mentality MMA would be the most followed sport in the world 💯

I remember Jiri's debut in summer 2020 he couldn't speak word of english. He really improved alot.

Jiri broken English makes him even more entertaining tbh. Dudes the definition of warrior as well 🔥

This guy is by far my favorite !! Bad mf

Man of virtue. One who fights for legacy and the love of the craft. Not for monetary means. Very content that he caught the W this weekend. Inching him closer back to the throne ⚔️💀⚡✊

💯 jiri =them words at the end from jiri hit home hard -- thats why we lov this guy - real character good guy , an the walk off with arm up 😂😂,brilliant 🤝schmo!uk

This is a solid if short interview. Jiří's type of mind is one of the main reasons to watch this sport. Fun Fact: Schmo used to mispronounce Procházka and it would make Jiří visibly upset LOL

Love this Schmo! Jiri is gangster.

That hug reminded me of when Voldemort hugged malfoy in the last movie, gotta love Jiri 😁

Schmo is the best MMA journalist easily, he has the style and interesting personality

Jiri is an awesome dude and fighter. However after tonight, I don't think he can beat Alex man. He needs more than little upgrades. Fingers crossed and Goodluck in the future. Will always cheer for him

So glad Jiri's horrible injury seems fully healed and he seems to be just as good as ever. He has a wild style and he's unpredictable, and that makes every fight he's in exciting. Hope to see a lot more from him in the future.

Guy went from no English to taking interviews in 4 years. Guys the real deal professional

Gotta love da Schmo

There's nothing like Respect for your sport. That was heavy, " glover this is for us" the heart of Champion!

Justin's performance was unbelievably gritty but there was something so insane about Jiri's courage. Rakic is such a huge intimidating guy and his shots looks so heavy and Jiri was really just like... i am happy to eat all of this

Love the Schmo

Fuck I love this man. Stay true legends 👊🏽

I love Jiri but I always, always play his interviews at 1.5x speed lol

schmo is so amazing.

Why did they shadow ban you schmo 😭 haven’t seen you in a while and it’s not bc of you man you got top tier interviews 😂💯

Man Jiris english has improved. Props to the guy taking time to learn so he can communicate with his fans.

WE LOVE YOU MAN

To je démon ten Jirka 😆 Gratuluju!!

Jiri is a favourite. He is awkward ,cringy, crazy, believes what he is saying and so special in terms of fighting.

Much love Jiri! 🤘

Jiri is fucking awesome

His mindset is amazing!

Respect

Bless his heart. He was about to cry.

I love it." this is for us, Glover"

Love you Jiri 😘😘😘 Your the best Fighter

You gotta love Jiri !

Repping Jiri 4 Life.

You Rule, Schmo

bloke is a straight up legend

I love this man

The ending dap up embodied a true samurai.
