You can see the moment Reyes bury his heels in the sand and decide he won't go down without a fight and Jiri still knocked him out, that fight was nuts.
That elbow and the one Yair Rodriguez landed in the very last second against Korean Zombie to win a fight he would have lost otherwise are two of the best elbows ever seen.
This guy is such a monster that they drug tested him a record 51 times in 1 year - they seemed almost certain that he had to be on the juice. Yet he passes them all, what a legend, mad respect to Jiri.
My favorite things about Jiri are how unpredictable he is and how creative he is. You never know how he might end a fight, and that makes him really exciting to watch.
And now he's the UFC Light Heavyweight Champ. What a warrior! Edit: he's no longer the champion, but it's because he vacated it after being injured because he didn't want to hold back other fighters from having their shot at the belt whilst he recovers. This man is quickly becoming one of my favorite fighters. All others should follow his lead in the sport.
Exactly, the fact he stood down from the title makes him even more of a true champion. Not like some of these other primaddonna pull out artists that keep coming up with excuses to hold the belt longer without having to fight.
@@ugochukwudavid8667 on early part of his career it was Bojan Veličković🇷🇸, Abdul Kerim Edilov (Kadyrov bodyguard fighter of Akhmat battalion) 🇷🇺 and Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal 🇺🇸 that he already rematch on his way
What a great Slavic samurai and tremendous fighter with unique style and mindset from Czech lands. I was always rooting for this guy. Hope he will get his belt back after healing his shoulder🇨🇿
@@dearen7175 Samurai inspired honest man from Czech republic. Doesnt matter if he is real or fake samurai.. his way is inspiring like a fresh wind on desert.. going through, whatever it costs.. in japan, they loved him for respect to japan culture.. although at the start, they mocked him..
Am I the only one who thinks that - especially as he got more mature - he has great self-control after defeating his opponents? It is like he knows exactly when his opponent is defeated, and stops himself mid-momentum, sometimes before even the referee seems to have fully reacted. That is a very admirable aspect, and perhaps it is even a bit risky if you misjudge it.
it's his moral code, He doesn't want to hurt people as he once said, his whole journey is about having control all the time and Filly focusing with clear mind, that's also why he doesn't celebrate after he finishes the fight, just what he does, his way
@@yessir8089 indeed. And if anyone should be certain a fight is over if he lands clean, it's that guy. Not to mention how life altering his after strikes might be.
I can't help it, but that one-two Oezdemir KO from the perspective that looks on Jiri's back is just textbook perfect. That slowmo looks like a movie. In a fight things don't have to look nice to be effective but damn, I could watch that KO 24/7 and still be amazed.
In Document about him called "THE WAY" (You can check on his ytb channel) he was talking about his training one-two. On Miamuto Musashi (his big motivation) birth day he went on mountin, with just few bottles of water and he was practicing one-two 24 hours straight with no pause. I mean you can really see on this KO he mastered it really well.
@@jl4183 oh c'mon... If anything... He's most similar to Sagat. It's easy, because Sagat's move set is based on muay thai. The flying knee is kind of the cherry on top, but the long arm one-two, the spinning elbow, the high kick, he's got it all.
Man... Watching some of Denisa's flying knees is hypnotic. There's so little visible preparation movement. It's as if all his tendons coiled like springs and he just bounces into flight like some damn videogame character. I'm happy the he learned how to use it to force his opponents to block low and catch them with a solid one-two. It's a solid strategy. And I know of him for a few years, but am surprised how good his on the ground fighting is, even though it largely consists of escaping. Makes for great shows.
Very nice resume. I think Procházka somwhere said, that after defeating Satoshi Ishi he became so popular in Japan, that he was offered to move to first class by flight attendants on his return flight to Europe
love the video format to include losses and opponent highlights to emphasize how impressive his wins were as well as his comebacks. better than UFC promotion videos imo. subscribed
notice how those who lost, lost for different reasons: - hands not up, lowered defense - looked away/down too long - tucked head but then kept looking down so many lost by not keeping their eyes on the opponent and either closing them or looking away Some great setups by Mr.Prochazka, bringing people's hands down then going for the head, including a nice kick feint at 8:34 which brought the opponents hands down for the head strikes. Oezdemir is a great counter-fighter (allowing the opponent to begin a strike, then using the opening to attack), so Mr.Prochazka began to become a counter-fighter as well, not only allowing the opponent to start attacks, but also used his own attacks as counter-attack instigators ( at 18:47 he uses his knee attack, whether it was a fake or not, to take advantage of the lowered arms for a 1-2 to the head). Fantastic video!
I'm a newer fan of MMA and Boxing, but I've watched many matches in a few months. I have not seen anyone use the Flying Knee like this man. An arm punch can be brutal but look at the Mass and Muscle between arms and legs. Wild Impact and Power.
I love his style because it looks creative and very unpredictable. He defies the normal mma fights. He's my fav fighter. And his training is crazy and unorthodox. Like a samurai indeed.
I am not an expert in any way, but I think he is baiting people. It is risky, but his fighting IQ is so high he just makes it work. Just a stunning fighter!
@@kingwan4051 No, he’s an above average striker. At best. Just because he can throw a kick and some elbows does not make him an elite striker. Reyes schooled him.
That spinning back elbow against Reyes is probably one of my favorite knockouts of his. It's both calm and savage at the same time.
You can see the moment Reyes bury his heels in the sand and decide he won't go down without a fight and Jiri still knocked him out, that fight was nuts.
Prochazka got KOed for a second by an upkick in that fight, he was lucky to survive
It feels like Jiri saying "Rayes your time is up, game over" 🗡️//\\

Imagine him against jon jones. Same creative style.
@@Whiterun_Gaurd Eh. I wouldn't call Jon Jones "creative". Tactical, with high fight IQ, yeah.
@Martial arts enthusiast lmao
Yeah. That "flying knee" faint followed by a simple one/two was just priceless...

Jiri will be back and why everyone hates him

Exactly, the fact he stood down from the title makes him even more of a true champion. Not like some of these other primaddonna pull out artists that keep coming up with excuses to hold the belt longer without having to fight.
Like st pierre.
I love that he finds a creative way to finish his opponent even when he's exhausted in the final minutes of the fight. Truly a spectacle.
Yeah, watching him catch his breath and unload a finishing combo is legendary shit.
That elbow then spinning one, on Reyes, so masterful.
This guy has the correct instincts.
What about the one Yair Rodriguez landed? Those two are my favorite two elbow knockouts.
Jiri is one of my favorite fighters right now. Can’t wait to see the rest of his career in the UFC. 29-3 with 28 finishes is nuts.
Who are those three who beat him

Two losses to pereira are his first losses in like 25 fights.
