Rockets really out on his feet good

of
trouble he’s trying to trap Yuri
oh big elbows from Pro now it that’s it
oh my goodness he’s trying to he’s
trying to get up but the that’ll do it
Yuri prashka he shined look at that
right hand I mean the power is
undeniable but it’s the mental strength
right John it’s his ability to get
through almost being one leg fighting in
the wrong stance and him just exploding
to Alexander Rockit landed that knee
there and look at that he gets away
the space allows Rockets to fall and
Yuri just jumps on him I mean what a
fantastic performance by the former
champion this has been a crazy night man

Look HOW BIG THEY R. THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION OF 2024 WOULD SMASH THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT (2024 MIDDLEWEIGHT DIV) OF 2010
Jon jones worried about his legacy. Dude u don't need to hold THE HW STRAP hostage. Top 15 ranked In LHW DIV. Are all between 6'3" – 6'7" & reach of 78.5" -83"
An entire div. Success built on the scribe of jon jones success. That's legacy. Let go of belt jon
BUSHIDO 👊🇺🇸
Alex Pereira recently said Yiri is a warrior. Alex may be the baddest man on the planet rite now, so that says it all to me. Alex may move up to heavyweight & become a legit 3 division UFC Champ. Some1 best get Alex to the ground before it's to late, he's earned his blackbelt now. I feel it will take a good wrestler now, like a Jon Jones to make it happen. Very few in the world, if anyone, can truly beat this man standing!!!
This should have been the first fight on the main card, not Low Blow Bo and some rando off the street.
Czech power, don't run Alex, Jiri has momentum and is fully ready.
jiri is such an entertaining fighter. insane he was on prelims.
Jiri was ready to die, Rakic was not
Very great fight
Man, Jiri is throwing Rakic around like a bouncer vs the drunkest guy in the bar. Brutal.
Wish I could watch them fight 100 times. This was a great fight and I didn't want either to lose.
Rakic is a beast. He’s a phenomenal fighter and against pretty much anyone else he would’ve won. Jiri ate everything and walked forward like a zombie. I don’t think Rakic lost. Jiri just won. Terrific fight.
He did look good he's working he's way back to a title shot with this kind of knock outs he needs to fight hill next
Bro was I the only one who thought racik was out when he was laying flat on his back lmao herb just watching like ok man don't want the fans made at me for this one lmao
I knew this was gonna happen soon as racic said he was a fake samurai😂🤣😂
if jiri Improved his takedown defense and striking defense and improved his fight iq. He could be unstoppable.
I was rooting for Jiri but Rakic looked real good. I honestly hadn't kept up with his fights. This was the first proper time seekng Rakic
Jiri is the second best light heavyweight and he's in prelims shoes the UFC is just a popularity sport
Pereira vs Prochazka 2!!!
Rakic looks in every skill aspect the better fighter, but jiri has the minerals
How did the former champ wind up on prelims?
early stoppage
lol Yiri's in the prelims? didn't he just relinquish the tile?
I bet on this fight , and I was so hype when this happend bc he was getting whooped
Early stoppage
Demolition man
Jiri is Buu
Jiri was prelim?
Total badass warrior. But you cannot fight Pereira like this and win. This all or nothing, eating shots left and right and walking down the opponent. Pereira just gonna sleep you
As good as he is now, Jiri is going to have a Ferguson-like downfall sometime in the future. He's one of those guys that rely purely on their physicality and athleticism rather than fundamentals and skill. The older he gets, his physical prowess will fade and he won't have the skills to make up for that.
EARLY
The Serbian is no joke. He's a fking warrior to live through that.
Middleweight Jiri would be a fn problem
Jiri with the 'chimp tearing another chimpanzee apart' vibes at the end
Live and Die by the Sword love Jiri, true warrior
