When Jiri Was Honest vs. Alex Pereira

Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira squared off in a highly anticipated Light Heavyweight title bout at UFC 295. And through nearly two rounds the fight was living up to fan expectation. Until an unusual sequence happened when Pereira dropped Prochazka and seemingly knocked him out momentarily with additional elbows. Referee Marc Goddard would step in to end the fight but Jiri would attempt to continue fighting which created confusion. After the fight Prochazka would admit that he was hurt and Goddard made the right decision to end the fight. #alexpereira #jiriprochazka #shorts #ufc

jiri is a chad, he literally looks like the chad meme he vacated his title when he knew he's gonna be out for a long time and never helf up te division, he admitted that the stoppage was right, and now he's already back to fighting contenders on the prelims of a ppv we need more fighters like him in the sport

Bec he was out of u watch it from the angle Gilbert burns posted u see his whole body go completely limp from the elbows and that’s when the ref rushed in. The impact of him hitting the ground is what woke him back up but fight was already called off when the ref saw him go limp

Marc Goddard is an exceptional referee. It is one of the most insanely tough and thankless jobs on a world stage. There is sometimes a matter of seconds before permanent brain damage and even death in these fights. The fact we have such talented referees to step in and stop the bout when the time is right is honestly amazing. Sure sometimes they may get it wrong. Fighters will say “let me go out in my shield” but that’s not the referees job. They want to see you go home to your family.

Bad stoppage. Jiri said later he could have kept fighting. Jiri makes come backs in all his fights.

I would say 2 or 3 good unanswered shots or a sign of going out one more time then I’d call it, but I just say you have to let that play out I’m 50-50 whether Jiri scrambles and survives with his samurai instinct or if Pereira brutally ko’s him from mount.
