“His left hook is overrated”
Wasn’t it a right hook that knocked Jiri down? Lucas is still a casual don’t get me wrong
@@user-ri9zw9km7rno, iirc it was a right straight into a close distance left hook, and after that punches and elbows with the right
@@user-ri9zw9km7r did you watch the replay?????
@@user-ri9zw9km7r right hook left hook then the shots Pereira landed as Jiri was in on that double leg
It’s funny cause he picked Poatan first, but he’s now going against his gut instinct cause of his L streak and now is getting picks wrong for that reason
My heart was jumping out of my chest when they did a stare down right before the fight, no dancing, no posing, no unnecessary movement from both of them, there are just two stone faced stoic giant ready to destroy one another, for a moment it felt like the whole area ceased to exist and there were only the two of them
😮😮😮😮😮❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re glazing hard
Brooo I thought I was the only one my heart was pounding the whole fight. I was going for Alex you would of thought I was the one that won the fight the way I celebrated 🤣🤣😭
Jesus buddy did you make sure to rent a hotel room and bring your tissues and jergens for this fight as well? Unless you actually the person fighting you should never feel this way about 2 other grown men 😂
@@synthosix746you’re gay
His left hook isn’t deadly for just the sheer force it carries. It’s the accuracy, the timing, and the force generated compared to the short distance needed to generate, that makes it the notorious deadly left hook that it is
That combo was so smooth bro.
It's better than Connor's left ngl
Craziest thing is Conor's a southpaw, Alex gets that much power off his lead hand@@fan4every1lol89
He's more like connor mcgregor when it comes to power not like derek lewis
His left hook literally did no damage lol, it was the right which had the most impact. Did we even watch the same fight
That stare down before the fight literally has me shaking such a great main event
Great camera man
That stare down between Jiri and Alex was the best thing I've ever seen, no competition lol
Not just their staredown but also their respective walkouts were unmatched
Better than a movie !
I actually admire how you can be wrong this many times
It's a skill you're born with
Going on the opposit he choses is a actual profitable betting strategy lol
I made quite a bit of money with that lmao@@qualquer1177
@@qualquer1177how do you think i choose my picks lol?
You tail the winners and bet against the morons losing money. If Lucas was actually putting money where his mouth is, he'd probably lost thousands by now 😂😂
Lucas: Jiri is going to knock Alex out and Alex hook is overrated *Jiri gets TKOd with Alex left hook
Also Lucas: Aspinall looks really nervous *Aspinall knocks Sergei into orbit
Nice Lucas, Nice
Lmao
Always pick a fighter against Lucas pick's..his analysis sucks af😂😂😂
As always
Tbf Aspinall himself said in his post fight that he was super afraid but he pushed through
Lucas predicted Tom aspinall by ko tho
Well even Jiri himself said in the post fight interview that the stoppage was good. So it doesn’t matter what other people say.
is that john cena with pig jong un harstyle in your DP
He even said he was knocked out
Jiri was concussed, asking him questions is wrong
EDIT: Every time you get hurt, you're concussed, being concussed isn't enough to stop a fight, especially while in the middle of a grappling entry (he pulled guard)
@@Nod4So the stoppage was right.
Jiri statement is lost in his own translation and weird way of talking. 100% early stoppage.
Im from Brazil
I think the translator did a bad job with Alex, what he said was "Adesanya did a lot for me, he motivated me to get here, it's time to do the same for him because he seems unmotivated, if he wants I'll give the title shot for him, come to daddy"
Ohh really... The other guy is the best translator.
i am brazilian too, and thats is right....
"I was proven wrong" As usual, Luke the Fluke strikes again.
It’s early but imagine being marc 2 feet away seeing a dude eat like 10 hard elbows to the side of the head and starting to fall backwards
That is a good perspective to think about. After rewatching the stoppage, marc stopped as jiri was limp on the ground but he recovered almost instantly afterwards so technically it was a good stoppage but as a fan i would have loved to see the whole exchange until someone was out cold
I mean we have seen that same exact scenario dozens and dozens of times and dudes make it out more often than not
@@TriWaZe that’s marc goddard for you
his arms went numb and jiri gave up.the grab he had on alex's legs, then he fell on his back unconscious. Even though he was recovering after hitting his back on the canvas, marc goddard had seen enough. Jiri fell after the hook and the elbows, he was finished
I love how Lucas Tracy can manage to be wrong with almost every prediction he makes, yet, somehow be entertaining simultaneously.
That literally describe him Perfectly. 😂
I’ve only been subbed a few months but he’s quickly reminded me he’s only a youtube streamer above everything else. I like watching his videos and opinions with everybody in the comments, but I take his « analytical » talking points as nothing more than opinions now.
he is just hilarious lol
@@userdeleted4723 As much as I like Lucas he lets his bias get way too out of hand. When you make mmaguru look unbiased and analytical thats an issue 💀
Jiri: “I was out”
Jiri wasn’t slow he was just keeping his distance. I think he was really scared of getting flatlined. Also those leg kicks were beautiful, was actually hoping for a leg kick tko but also I really wish there was some ground and pound to finish the show, it was a bit of an unsatisfying win.
Jiri was literally half dead bro, what u mean, unsatisfying😂. People nver really satisfied smh
Unsatisfactory to Jiri fans I’m erratic
@@3xtasy777 "I don't know, there's still some skin and muscle tissue holding Jiri's head on to the rest of his body. I think ref was a bit early bro."
Ah yes because Alex the supposed D1 NCAA champion was gonna start using ground pound, sure
@@DADRB0B55don’t need to be a grappler to keep top position over a badly rocked guy when you’re in high mount.
Jiri statement is lost in his own translation and weird way of talking. 100% early stoppage.
looks like a lot of people in these comments lost money on Jiri 😭😭😭if the ref didn't stop that shit then Jiri would've lost 10 years off his lifespan while Poatan carved his skull into the mat lol... anticlimactic yeah, bad stoppage no.
The camera showing Alex from the back staring right at Jiri was cinematic. The stoppage was *not* early. It was only going to be more damage, potentially career-changing. I'd rather see Jiri live to fight another day.
Jiri was still 100% capable of defending himself. It’s a title fight, if Jiri had his hands down and wasn’t responding and not moving then I could understand a stoppage but everyone saw that he was still in the fight. He took way more damage in the Glover fight.
the third round would be nasty to jiri legs
Whether jiri would have won or lost isn't relevant to me, the stoppage was early, everyone agrees. It's a title fight, give them that extra chance. Jiri reacted instantly and I never saw him go limp like people were saying, I saw him get hit like a truck and stumble, but he was still in the game. I don't think "he might get hurt" is viable to ending it prematurely, it's a fight. These refs will stop a fight after an unconscious guy takes 16 punches to his face in a regular fight, but end it the second someone stumbles in a title fight. I think it's bullshit imo
Retire Lucas. Wrong again
Pretty sure he got like every pick wrong but 2 on the whole card ur just hating
It wasnt an early stoppage
Stop crying
He got koed with the elbows
Jiri was right up after that stoppage but he alex was getting into full mount and he woulda gotten his face pounded anyway, no extra CTE for jiri
We've seen Jiri come back from vicious ground and pound from Glover... Don't be too confident
The more I watch it, the more I realize it was a good stoppage. He got knocked out now even though he did get right back up, it still made since to stop it. I would love to see a rematch since Jiri won the first and was winning the 2nd clearly until the knockdown
Good stoppage would be 2-5 second later if Alex was pounding on Jiri and Jiri with no defence.. Jiri had moments like this many times even in the UFC..
I see where people are coming from when they say that Juri was winning the 1st, but I really think Alex had it. He did more damage with those leg kicks, threatened a submission, and juri didn’t do much after the take down. Idk maybe I’m biased
@@jirihutecka9020Jiri got knocked out twice. First the left and than by the 5 hammer fists and 5 elbows
@@cstmex4937 i agree
@@cstmex4937yea first round i had it for alex and second was going towards jiri before the knock out
Jiri himself said he was out there, and that it was a good stoppage.
He was being humble bro there’s no part where he was “out” he was moving the entire time. I’ve asked multiple people to send me a clip where he’s out and they can’t provide it.
@@ProfessionalCurryDefenderyou not looking hard enough
@@ProfessionalCurryDefender the guy himself says he was out but you know better lmao he was fucking out, thats that. He was also out on the reyes upkick but came back, thats just how he is. The difference is pereira is on full mount. Jiri was finished, stop crying
@@ProfessionalCurryDefenderif he was being humble he wouldn’t say he was out, he’d just say it was a good stoppage like Aljo did vs Sean. You’re basically insinuating that Jiri is a liar and saying he was unconscious isn’t true when all he needed to say was something along the lines of ‘it wasn’t a bad stoppage’
@@ProfessionalCurryDefenderbro you are telling us that jiri is a liar the ultimate warrior lol
Jiri literally was honest and said he was out, what do you mean out?
He’d say that even if he got stopped like Cutelaba against Magomed in their first fight 😂
Double champ in Glory kickboxing
2 time champ in the ufc
Top tier combat sports fighter
Hill gonna come take him out
Dr. Sutterer did an amazing breakdown video proving Jiri was out and the stoppage was good, plus Jiri himself said he was out. When I saw it happen I even yelled out “WTF? Why did he stop so fast?!”
Edit: forgot to mention how impressive Jiri’s recovery is, bc it was obvious he was out but was back alive in a split second.
Jiri was being humble bro he wasn’t out. He never closed his eyes or went out. He was moving and sprawling the entire time, I don’t think you understand what a KO is.
@@ProfessionalCurryDefender I do understand what a KO is, and if you watch Dr. Sutterer break it down, it proves without a doubt that Jiri went out. It shows his entire body go limp and his muscles stop firing in self defense. To be fair, Jiri did come back awake very quickly, but he definitely was out
@@DickLongFlop14 you are so cute when you are struggling
@@DickLongFlop14 yeah but that's happened before with Jiri... He's been on the brink of unconsciousness in all his fights yet he fights back and wins
The curse prevails
I’ve come to realise people like me need to stop hating on you for being wrong, anything can happen in this sport man
He’s wrong every single time tho
Bro is wrong in 90% of his predictions
bro is literally never ever right in main main events
Jiri: “I was out”
Lucas: “Fight was stopped early”
People can try to take away from Alex's win but Jiri wouldn't have come back from those shots he ate
well you are just rookie watching this sport if that is your honest opinion.And thats a fact.But nobody can take away alex W is a fact too, as is the thing that they should let it go for few more shots.
@@riskiriski-ug4ckbro was about to get his head bounced on the canvas with 15+ follow up shot and you call people rookie lol ?
@@yannmoyes2493 im sure the referee would have stopped in 2 shots or 4 at most.If you think they would have let him take 15+ even asuming that makes you rookie.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was so Shocked when you underestimated Alex. Also it was not an early stoppage, even Jiri himself has said it was a good stoppage
Gotta watch the vid, hear his points. Jiri is too respectful to complain about that kind of thing.
@@zayffon1325now say that again without crying. You’re gonna speak on Jiri’s behalf?
@@userdeleted4723 What?
@@zayffon1325so you're saying Jiri is a liar?
@@ZeroHBRPro Where the hell do you get that?
the lucas tracy curse strikes again
dude you got everything right, first you said Aspinal was not confident which he totally was, he was just honest about the fear, its not like other fighters have no fear, of course they do, second you didn't mention Pereira's leg kicks which was obviously gonna be a huge problem for Jiri
Jirir was out. If you go back and look, in the mist of Jiri taking the elbow strikes, his hands go limp and then that's when he falls back of his knees. He was out and mark goddard was right to stop it at that point. Hell Probably could have stopped before then when jiri's hands initially went limp because he was out. I got no problem at all with this stoppage.
watch it again pls.. his hands go limp, he is falling back and CATCHES Alex legs with his hands and after that Goddard stops the fight. Jiri was far from out. Do you even know the difference between rocked and out?
Awful take
@@jirihutecka9020jiri said himself he was out after the fight stop coping
@@ogrimzyz8643 he was not out he was rocked and Rogan shouldn't even ask question someone who was rocked twice within 10 sec...
@@jirihutecka9020 you're coping so hard it's hilarious xDD The man in question admitted he was out but nah, youthe mma expert sitting on his couch KNOWS for a fact that he wasn't. Stop the clown shit xDDD
Alex is so patient while chopping down trees and the longer the fight goes the more it’s in his favor.
All I can think of is how terrifying the Diaz brothers would’ve been if they were leg kick maestros also. 🤔
Jiri collapsed on his own knees, arms going limp, falling backwards, and admitted he was out. Clean stoppage.
Feels good considering Izzy said Alex was “gonna be a nobody watching his fights in a bar riding that win forever” and now Izzy is riding his one win 💀
I was there live. His body went limp. It was not early
The pre-fight staredown was incredible. Alex looked like an evil version of an angry Carl from Sling Blade w/o the lawnmower blade.
Love your vids, dude. 50K subs incoming!
It was early. It Just Was and you got to know the fighter that's getting hurt, Jiri is the guy who needs a chance to battle back a bit. But credit to alex
Was rooting for Alex and although I was sad that the fight was stopped a little early and that Alex was not allowed to finish his inevitable KO, glad Jiri admitted he was out and that it was a good stoppage. Jiri is happy and grateful that he was saved and Alex did not KO him into another dimension. Jiri is a true warrior for admitting he thought it was a good stoppage. Left hook definitely not overrated. That was a short hook that took Jiri down. Congratulations to Alex!!👏💯🔥🥳
Jiri admitted to being knocked out I thought the stoppage was early at first but it was definitely a good stoppage
Bro that has to be one of the best moments ever. Felt like it was a movie but it was 10x better tbh since it was irl
Congrats for trying to stay impartial. Keep up the good work Lucas. Love from brazil.
Lucas with his horrible opinions: The fight was stopped way to early
Jiri: I was out, it was a good stoppage
Not really proven wrong about the left hook jiri ate a few but alex was always able to ko him if he landed it while jiri wasnt looking
Not an early stoppage, people won’t stop dickriding how “early the stoppage is” till someone’s vegetative or dead cmon now.
Wasn't stopped too early. Jiri got a two piece and like 10 elbows to the temple and all he could do is roll on his back. If this was too early then so was the Izzy TKO. At least Izzy was still standing.
I'd even go as far as to say this stoppage was cleaner than the Izzy knockout. Pereira didn't miss a single strike to Jiri's dome. At least he was swinging and missing against Izzy.
Izzy had his hands down and wasn’t moving, he wasn’t capable of defending himself, Jiri was. These Poatan fans are something man, Jiri was still sprawling and moving even after the ref called the fight. He wasn’t wobbling and was 100% in it. The only reason you guys are exaggerating the damage that Jiri took is cause you wanted Alex to win.
@@ProfessionalCurryDefenderyou are clearly a casual
@@ProfessionalCurryDefenderIzzy always has his hands down
He literally went out twice in the span of seconds, AND admitted it. Hell have you ever seen Pereira go into full mount, the only way that happens is if you’re beyond dazed.
Jiri didn’t even roll to his back, he fell unconscious. If you watch it again you see his arms go limp which is why he let go of Alex’s leg
Bro this stardown and O’Malley vs sterling stardown was the best I’ve ever seen
Jiri went out twice. You don’t need to have his head bounced off the canvas three times to confirm his loss. Good stoppage by the ref and jiri saved some years on his career and maybe life.
That was the type of fight you get once in a lifetime and Goddard takes it from us
a little early but an early stoppage is always better than a late stoppage
Alex statedown is so cold I had to make it my pfp😂
I’m so glad Periera is an active fightwe
I always get nervous when Lucas and I pick the same guy 😂
People don't realize that flash knockouts happen all the time, here was no different. Maybe it would've ended in 2-3 more seconds, maybe jiri would have survived. The fact that the FOTN on the prelims was given more breathing room than this title fight is being massively overlooked
100%. Just like Suga vs Aljo. Controversial early stoppages mostly happen when its benefiting someone the UFC clearly wants to win
Aljo vs Sean , Khamzat vs usman , jiri vs Alex have all had my favorite face offs
Honestly a rematch and depending whoever wins a trilogy could end up as one of the sickest rivalries in MMA ever.
It also keeps the onus on the winner to show they know how to finish it - even if it's not a literal finish in the sense of a KO. Alex was in a really unfamiliar position, one that doesn't exist in kickboxing, that he hasn't had in MMA, yet. He may have come in all wrong and Jiri saw it and pounced, got a wrist and we get the beginning of a really interesting sub, or got an ankle and just rolled with it... Next minute, Alex is down and it's on again.
Also... limp hands. Guys just wobbled drop like rocks. It isn't the definitive sign of being "out cold", which is how this seems to be getting argued. Secondly, like Charles just drops when he's rocked, to his back... some people know to relax, don't fight being rocked...
And this notion of moving on. No. Forevermore, Alex will get the comments that he only got the belt due to an early stoppage. That's the legacy this shit creates. Everyone will forever have to argue, well, yes, the stoppage was early, but, but but... It cheats the winner as much as the loser. Yes, the effort to separate the win from the average refereeing... but you don't let this grossly inconsistent shit just keep sliding.
No, Jiri showed that you were very accurate in Alex's gaps. I think Alex got a... shock. I think he was a little nonplussed. But he's one of the best in the world... he knew patience was key, just survive and keep kicking and be ready. But the need to reset was there...
The change in Jiri I wondered was him wanting to alter his style to suit Alex better. Get rid of the low head and the really low hands, take more care. Second round, he started reverting to the more eccentric stuff, which I do think befuddled Alex... a little. But, you know... he just waited.
There is no way jiri would have fought through that final minute. Saved him from some career ending damage in my opinion
Yet it happens all the time. Alex defended on his back, Jiri has the experience. Bet you said the same thing the 10 times things looked over in the Glover fight too
The staredown was so crazy that I was literally shaking in the opening seconds of the first round
Could not agree more about the stare down. That was intense and awesome
Serious question I'm new to this guy's channel but how does it get nearly all fights so badly wrong?
That stare down was basically an episode of Deadliest Warrior; Bushido Samurai vs Apache Warrior
Dude literally gets everything wrong and is still so confident it’s unbelievable
That stare down went crazyyyyyyyyyyyy
Most def a fight of all time
yea i was nervous asf during the walk outs and the preparation 😭 shi was intense
I personally think the o malley vs aljo stare down was the best I’ve never seen 2 fighters stand in the middle of the cage staring each other down the whole time while Bruce was announcing that security guard ruined it tho by making Sean go back to his corner they would of stayed there the whole time
Tracy says he didn’t wanna see somebody die but I can’t really believe that because every take after that pointed to him wanting Jiri to take as much punishment as humanly possible and lose sentience before the ref even thought about stopping it
“I know i sound stupid guys”
At least you admitted it
“He will be in danger on the back foot.”
Good stoppage, even jiri said he was out.
if I could only watch 2 youtube channels it would be this one and the UFCs main channel
*Everyone has a plan untill they get cliped with a left* - Alex poaton Pereira.
This card was amazing. There was some great fights on the prelims too.
the ref literally saved jiri’s life so shoutout to him
Jiri “I was out”
People so hyped about the staredown but y'all seem to forget Buffer had to read like a minute-long call of duty ad mid-staredown
Yeah man! That staredown was dope! I was going for Alex, but I wouldn't have minded if Jiri had won. I like Jiri.
I feel like stopping a fight 3 seconds too early is better then stopping a fight 3 seconds too late
My hot take: Alex had a better ufc career than izzy
Alex is a 2 division champ in like 8 fights, he dominates his opponents, izzy mostly defended his titles in 48-47 matches
Not a hot take you’re just wrong. Alex is a paper champ with 0 defenses and two wins given to him by the brass Jan/Jiri
If Jiri said it wasn’t an early stoppage, it wasn’t an early stoppage.
Need a rematch❗️
Jiri thinks the stoppage was good
The precision is what makes his left so good. Duh
Totally agree with take on salty Hill 😂
Early stoppage in first Izzy fight and early stoppage here. Bruh Marc Goddard needs to chill, we wanna to see Alex knock one of these guys out cold💀
ON GOD 😠 JEEZ
Damn I really did not want either of them to lose.
I don't know what people are complaining about. "Oh, Jiri admitted that he was out just because he was being humble and gentleman", fuck that, Jiri could do that saying "Yeah, he got me, but i was okay enough to continue. But okay, congratulations to him", something like that, but no, the guy knew the damage he took from that left hook and elbows. Poatan ended literally on top of Jiri and Marc was the one who took Alex from there. Good luck to Jiri, he is a legend, but that victory from Pereira was legit.
Plz don't Pick alex against jamahal
I don't think it was a bad stoppage. The refs' job is to stop the fight when someone goes out to protect them from further unnecessary damage, Jiri went out and he admits this. In this case Goddard protected Jiri from not only Alex but from himself, Jiri recovers very quickly but he clearly went out, hands went limp, fell back and everything, he would have just taken more hits to the head, anyone that calls it a bad stoppage just want to see fighters get terribly injured, more than they already do.
it wasnt early, cry about it
That's exactly right based on what Jiri has been coming back from before the ref could have let them get to the floor and then see if it's still a fight or not, but the timing of Pereira's caf kicks and the technique he uses is so hard to defend and they do damage...
Never seen jiri look so hesitant
Alex is the lineal light heavyweight champion
No it wasn’t a bad stoppage, if jiri himself said he was out then it wasn’t a bad stoppage
Holy fk the amount of people that keep copy pasting that Jiri said he was out, it was a good stoppage. Stfu and think for two seconds. A fighter doesnt know shit. Being rocked and losing control of your body for a split second and being out are going to feel the same exact way. The lines are so thin and blurred between the two it aint even funny.
Second the dude is a humble warrior like you said that doesnt make excuses. But the way he looked when he got up immediately and was staring Goddard down tells you all you need to know. In the inside he was pissed. And if that doesnt convince you enough, just watch all his other fights. This is par for the course for this dude, its part of his style and how he often wins. Like a prime Tony Ferguson. Being that and the fact it was a championship fight, you let it play out.
This ends up being super sus like Goddard was told to call it early if Alex had the upperhand. We see it all too often like with Suga and Aljo, earlier fights on the card with no stipulations go on for minutes with people getting blasted, but not the most important ones where it could be the only chance someone ever has at the belt, it’s insane.
How can anybody say it was an early stoppage when jiri said himself, he was knocked out, the ref standing 2 feet away from the fight saw him knocked out, and Alex pereira saying in the interview that jiri was out and fell to his back, he didn’t push him. Literally makes no sense to me. Every person in that cage is saying the stoppage is fine, Ima just sit down, shut up and believe the guys in there
Ngl I understand the ref, jiri went out before he fell over, his arms went from wrapped around Alex’s legs to limp and then he fell backwards
Jiri said it was a good stoppage. Jiri wasn't fine when he got up, he was completely dazed, he was knocked out while getting up and and woke up when he was already on the fence
