"Czech republic is tough place" lol I am from Czech Republic and from I can tell our country is the most safest and boring place on this planet hehe. There is basically zero gang or gun crimes. You can walk basically anywhere at midnight and you basically don't need to worry about anything. There is just the normal stuff like theft in crowded places, bar fights in the cities etc. in average amount that is happening in any country. But If you compare CZ with other countries like UK, Sweden, Germany, France etc.. Where are gangs, knife attacks all the time, even acid attacks etc.. There is zero of that in CZ. I would be actually scared to travel into UK, Ireland, Germany, Sweden etc.. and walk there in the middle of the night in places that I don't know. You can easily walk into street where is like 99% of chance that you will get attacked. There are no places like that in CZ. So to me it is really comical to listen guy from UK talking about how Czech Republic is tough place haha...

Rakic's injury traveled all the way to his head it seems. Jiri never said point blank he's a 'samurai' . He's done many interviews in these past 2+ years . Not once said it. He follows the Bushido codex , taking lessons from Myamoto's writings. Living a more centered and honorable life. Lest we forget he was The one who relinquished the belt due to his injury. Which is why Hill vs Glover went at it for the vacant title . Can't imagine another fighter doing the same in that situation. Anyone else would have held up the division. In Any case, this match with Rakic will be exceptional ⚡

Jiri did not wanted give hard time to ref by saying it was early , that's what he said later in Czech interview , he also said that he understands the stoppage but also that ref could let it go on for few more seconds. Jiri also torn his ACL in the past - but he finished the fight and won by decision Rakics explanation how Jiri became samurai is just wrong - it just shows you how words can change when it goes through multiple people Jiri is more Japanes than our staff members - RIZIN comment after they visited Jiri when they were making his promo I'm excited for this fight , i hope ref will let them some space and won't stop it unless he's 100% sure. It is UFC 300 afterall

Comment by a Jiří Procházka fan: I've heard what Rakic has said about him in the past and it struck me as a lot of disrespect to Jiří. Now that I'm hearing him speak in his entirety, it doesn't sound so bad. It sounds to me like he's trying to hype the fight. It just seems a little strong to me. And they're unnecessarily strong and provocative words. Jiří talks about these things very openly and if you have an open mind it makes sense and you know it's coming from him. There's no point in contradicting it. At the end of the day, there's a good chance Rakic will pay for those words. Jiří prefers to weigh words and show things by his actions. So let's see how it goes in the cage :) ;)
