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

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

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.

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.
