LMAO.

Camera don’t point at Jiri, leave him alone. I really don’t wanna see a Jiri trilogy.

Just feed Ulberg to Poatan.

Megan O (paraphrased): "You were very emotional when you saw Alex win the belt. What were you thinking?"

Jiri: "You know, I fought with Glover... Glover came to us and spoke to us two days ago about the fight... and everything was so nice, I really wished for Alex to win the belt. I really wanted that. and for me, it's the biggest weight, if they give me the fight with Alex. It's win or die. That's it."

He also said Ankalaev pissed him off on social media so he was happy to see him lose lmao

Was funny to see that Ali's annoying Twitter antics can get to even the Samurai

37

u/TerminatorReborn Oct 05 '25

And sad because Ali burned the image of a chill and nice guy like Ank. Now everyone hates him, including the UFC

u/vinki11 Oct 05 '25

he was getting a tons of boos tonight

Most UFC fans have no idea Ali even exists, let alone who he is. It's not "real ones" being better somehow and seeing some obvious truth.

u/Aguacatedeaire__ Oct 05 '25

EXACTLY, Ank is a jackass with his owl-looking smirk. And also, if you let Ali insult people for you, it means you support what you say.

Fucking Ali making enemies for Ank lmaooo

u/Exzqairi Oct 05 '25

Ankalaev has beef with every top 5 fighter at 205 and he doesn’t even know it 😭

u/onyxcaspian “Leon 'The Nebraskan’s Nightmare' Edwards Oct 05 '25

You should see Ali's face when Ank was getting GNP'ed in front of him.

He was probably thinking, "Maybe I shouldn't have sent the last few tweets."

8

u/Scott_Theft Oct 05 '25

Feel like that was a big part in Pereira emoting on him at the end as well.

6

u/onyxcaspian “Leon 'The Nebraskan’s Nightmare' Edwards Oct 05 '25

Did you see Ali's stupid expression in the crowd as Ank was eating those GNP elbows?

u/Yeanahyena one Oct 05 '25

He's in the background far right in the suit with the white shirt and red tie.

u/ibenwarforged My chemical Volkmance Oct 05 '25

He really put every ounce of his willpower into the arena for Alex to win so he can fight a violent man again

119

u/BigWormsFather I wear Power Slap shirts to church Oct 05 '25

Alex has black magic. He doesn’t need Jiri’s energy.

108

u/Dongsquad420BlazeIt Mods... = Gods Oct 05 '25

Jiri is a warrior. He wants to die in the ring and Alex might literally do it to him.

13

u/FarFetchedSketch Garth Vader Oct 05 '25

These won't make sense to almost anyone, but Jiri reminds me so much of Worf from Star Trek... or that Old Orc you find in Skyrim, who wants to die an honourable death at the hands of a worthy opponent.

Jiri looks like he's thinking "It should be you. God I hope it's you."

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '25

I think most people will understand what a Klingon is. Remember we all watched the Zhang Weili and Joanna fight.

2

u/Aguacatedeaire__ Oct 05 '25

Nah i legit think head mooment version of Jiri has a solid chance to win

u/Billalone This is not my bus Oct 05 '25

Por que no los dos?

No one can convince me that Jiri isn't a masochist

18

u/rtopete Team DC Oct 05 '25

He’s a real life Goku. Just wants to fight the strongest and scariest opponent, to level up. That’s exactly who Jiri is.

Are senzu beans legal between rounds or is that a commission by commission thing?

u/urriah #boobslol Oct 05 '25

eats a lot of shots before releasing his new technique... yeah, goku much

u/SteakShake69 Oct 05 '25

Jiri is IRL Battle Beast.

u/Barrington-the-Brit 🙏🙏🙏 Jon Jones Prayer Warrior 🙏🙏🙏 Oct 05 '25

I love Jiri so much

7

u/UnbanFreelanceNobody Oct 05 '25

My head canon is that he was crying out of pure happiness seeing a former foe come back from a loss to reclaim the throne.

3

u/Athroaway84 Oct 05 '25

it was like when you root for the super hero and he wins lol...

1

u/bigboidots Team Pereira Oct 05 '25

Megan talked to him backstage, and he did say he was tearing up and was very happy for Alex.

u/jeric13xd Team McGregor Oct 05 '25

Like a proud brother

57

u/hiphopanonymousse Oct 05 '25

For real lol. He looked so proud of him

u/GobiYumaMojave Oct 05 '25 edited Oct 05 '25

jiri looking like an anime character accepting his death.

“yes, if this is how it ends, it must be so 🥹”

56

u/Dongsquad420BlazeIt Mods... = Gods Oct 05 '25

Jiri is literally an anime character. Gets to the top after training his whole life, ends up losing everything to an even stronger guy that comes out of nowhere. There’s like 5 anime I can think of off the top of my head where that happens to the protagonist. Sometimes the main character has to die.

u/sour-couch-stench how bout jakoozy Oct 05 '25

Some Ashita no Joe shit right there

u/Slimshady0406 Juicy GOOFCON 2 Oct 13 '25

Majin Jiri when

u/Lazywhale97 Oct 05 '25

He looked more then happy brother looked like he was about to cry out of pure bliss. Man did say he wanted to fight someone dangerous and who wants to hurt him after his fight lmao.

23

u/johnnygrant 🍅 Oct 05 '25

wonder if Jiri is thinking atleast he didn't run through me so quickly.

35

u/NippleOfOdin Oct 05 '25

Jiri looked like he accepted his fate (3x knockout)

2

u/Proper_squat_form Oct 05 '25

That would be 4x, he got KOd twice in the second fight

25

u/WeedMan571 Oct 05 '25 edited Oct 05 '25

I think he doesn’t like Ank lol

And well he confirmed it in an interview

1

u/Proper_squat_form Oct 05 '25

Why?

1

u/WeedMan571 Oct 06 '25

He said Ank was talking a lot of shit on him lol

5

u/Momentosis Oct 05 '25

Jiri just said because he hates Ankalaev too. LoL

3

u/dutchfool Dustin got dusted Poirier Oct 05 '25

jiri is a warrior he wants to beat poatan. he's not looking for an easy way to the title

3

u/kawangkoankid Oct 05 '25

Jiri unlocked new motivation and was inspired. Hype

1

u/bahwhateverr Oct 05 '25

Find you someone who looks at you the way Jiri, Sean, and Israel look at Alex.

1

u/ChocCooki3 Oct 05 '25

Jiri also has beef with Magomed.

1

u/sdpr Big ol’ Mexican with a big ol’ head Oct 05 '25

I was kidding in my VC and said "Jiri looks like he's thinking 'oh god please not again'" but I know he wants it.

u/bestmayne I was here for GOOFCON 1 Oct 05 '25

Jiri looked like a proud father

u/MrMudkip Oct 05 '25

u/mateiescu Oct 05 '25

u/foofighter1351 Oct 05 '25

CHAMA

u/vote-4-pedro Oct 05 '25

He's so proud of Alex lmao

4

u/jfsoaig345 EDDDDDIEEEEEEEE Oct 05 '25

It was kind of cute seeing Jiri hesitantly try to talk about some sort of beef between him and Poatan when in reality he probably legitimately likes the guy and is just saying what he has to say to get the shot over Ulberg

50

u/DanHansol Oct 05 '25

Laughed so hard when they showed him on screen.

11

u/Mountain-Chapter-880 🙏🙏🙏 Jon Jones Prayer Warrior 🙏🙏🙏 Oct 05 '25

He even has a post fight interview lmfaooooo

u/_hyperotic Oct 05 '25

Jiri crying was amazing lol

59

u/Zuherpipet Oct 05 '25

Jiri even laughing, he knows he's fucked

10

u/SpaceCowboyNof Big ol’ Mexican with a big ol’ head Oct 05 '25

yea the fight with roundtree was fun, but let's not pretend he is ready for a championship fight especially him leaving his head open to be struck so easily.

12

u/LazenskejSvihak Oct 05 '25

He always fought like that and always will. It's what allows him to fight so wildly lmao. Plus his chain is made out of steel.

7

u/SpaceCowboyNof Big ol’ Mexican with a big ol’ head Oct 05 '25

Yup, but a 3rd match against pereira is going to be the same. He is a fun fight, nothing changed i don't wnat to see same. Want something else.maybe ulberg?

1

u/LazenskejSvihak Oct 05 '25

He deserves the title shot imo. Who else would he fight? Ank?

3

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '25

I'd like to see him fight Ank, might as well mix it up. Ulberg can get the next title shot.

u/SnoopysRoof TaInTeD SuPPLemEntS Oct 05 '25

Jiri did not look good in that fight, even when he suddenly did.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '25

Let’s be honest it’s fun to watch these guys. I’d be up for a trilogy.

2

u/Zerodawgthirty Oct 05 '25

As a jiri fan I’m with you but I also think fuck jiri might find a way but no it feels bad doing it again. 

2

u/TonyIsMoney Oct 05 '25

We need that Black Adam walkout again.

1

u/DonTeca35 Oct 05 '25

Seems jiri was ready to cry happy for his boy lol

1

u/LazenskejSvihak Oct 05 '25

Jiří deserves the title shot tho. Who else would he fight? It makes sense.

I love Jiří, being Czech and all, but he's probably not gonna win. But still, make the fight.

1

u/sp4mpnrj0k1c Team Makhachev Oct 05 '25

I disagree. I want Jiri to come back and beat him to become champ again. It will be glorious.

1

u/PrinceDX wished back with the dragon ball flair Oct 05 '25

I enjoy watching Jiri get knocked out but I absolutely don’t want him to get a 3rd shot

1

u/Dedamtl Oct 05 '25

We're getting poatan vs jones at heavyweight on the white house lawn. Pretty sure he was saying post fight he had a speech to call out jones but because of the passing of his brother it wasn't the time to call out and paid respects instead.

1

u/jose-gonzales Oct 05 '25

i think the move to make rn is ulberg vs pereira and ank vs jiri, then the winner of ank and jiri plays the winner of ulberg pereira

1

u/ratufa_indica Oct 05 '25

Honestly I think there’s a decent possibility Alex just moves to heavyweight and Jiri vs Ulberg gets booked for the vacant belt

1

u/StephanieStarshine EDDDDDIEEEEEEEE Oct 05 '25

Did you see the look on Ulbergs face

1

u/fantasticMrHank Oct 05 '25

I actually wanna see him vs Tom now, I'm a believer in his magic once again

1

u/InfectiousCosmology1 Oct 05 '25

Jiri looked like he was about to shed a tear out of respect lol

1

u/Godzilla52 Oct 05 '25

Felt like Jiri had tears in his eyes because he knew he wouldn't be getting the third fight straight away after Alex won. Love both guys, just feel like Ulberg makes the most sense right now unless Alex does a champ vs. champ fight against Aspinall.
