@@crazypato3752 All of his hardcore fans from wrestling would watch his fight for free on the prelims and then change channels. Now they have to buy the PPV to watch Bo. Other new or casual fans aren't going to care any more about Bo than they do about Jiri, and Jiri is very much a known quantity in terms of delivering an exciting fight. It actually is a smart business move, because we're all whinging about it (including me), but I don't see anyone boycotting the card over it. It's only serving to draw new eyes to the PPV
Jiri’s English has really improved over the last year. Props to him it’s not easy to learn another language

Jiri on Saturday: you fool this isn’t even my final form
I watched the fight with Pereira ! several times and Jiri wasn't bad with 1 week camp... he wents too much to the spiritual world... in Rizin, he also went through these things, but he was a more aggressive fighter, he just has to find himself and work his way to the title, he has all the prerequisites,but as I listen to him, we can look forward to some real bombs :)

Rakic Is misunderstanding and overlooking what Jiri has been talking about for over 2+ years. (And That's just with UFC media, he's been following the Bushido codex lifestyle for way before that before we know). Rakic injury went past his leg straight to his head.
That bit at the end cracked me up 😂

I really like Pereira but it was an early stoppage against Jiri. Jiri was really starting to turn it on and get the better of the exchanges until he got grazed and took those hammer fists/elbows. Goddard should've let it go a little longer considering it was a title fight. I think we'll see Jiri as LHW champ soon enough.

@@Mr-E. he doesn't sound dumb in czech.

@@janzeman3777 Thanks for the reply janzeman, and for providing context, I'll make a note of that since I like to learn these types of perceptions about people in different cultures. I had asked the question genuinely in the past and I thought the Czech people who responded seemed fairly mature (not biased or malicious) against Jiri. They were saying that his way of speaking is considered "unintelligent" and lower social way of speaking. Perhaps the way you perceive him is more accurate and others associate how fast someone talks with intelligence or something like that.
