A true warrior spirit. Like, it's not even a character man. This is how Jiri truly lives and exists in this space. It is so inspiring and I've got so much respect for this man.
Homie definitely doesn’t pay taxes.
Blessed.
lmfao@@modernblue24
He is a weirdo
He's rare
"nutty" not a bot to the system @@Tsukuykamy
Jiri isn't just a cool dude for MMA, he's genuinely a one of a kind person. Great interview
Ariel hit him with the fist and bow 🤣
He’s mastering the mind. Seeking enlightenment
Why’d you think Jon Jones moved up to heavyweight
That was a great interview! Thats what a fighter is supposed to be like. Respectful, driven, and ready to rumble
@@Lagim_Because he got bored of LHW. Jiri struggled badly against Glover and was losing on the scorecards, Jones destroyed him without even putting in full effort. Don't disrespect Jones.
Man Jiri's English has gotten so good. Amazing to see him do these long form interviews.
I know right and he’s not even living in English speaking country so the only way for him to learn is with his teacher
for sure, but i wish his english was better. i feel like he has a lot to say, but can't find the words to express it
No, it hasn't gotten so good. Lie #1. "It's amazing to see him do these long form interviews". Lie #2. Don't do it again or that'll be lie #3, or strike 3, and you're OUTTA HEEEYA! Now apologize, or it's strike three.
Thats excatly it mate @@cvspvr
I love listening to Jiri speak. I can’t imagine how much gets lost in translation, but he seems very philosophical in how he approaches things.
As a native Czech speaker i can tell you that there is alot that gets lost.
For anyone interested, Jiri has a minidocu series on RUclips. It's called "Cesta" or "The Way" and has English subtitles. ruclips.net/p/PL7FRwFglbqWL2V9UV6SmJMKoG8_CDG6ac&feature=shared
@@pantheon9900 thanks for that recommendation that sounds badass!
@@boxalarmtradingsnad slibně 😂🎉
Yes he's an interesting dude very knowledgeable a unique fighter
My gosh when ariel tries to bait him and he says "I can only speak for myself" what a champion attitude, no politics, all grounded
And tells Ariel to be honest to himself 😂😂 he basically said, that everybody can speak for themselves kinda calling Ariel bullshitter, who talks too much... The same when Ariel said he would be afraid to be in the dark for so long with his thoughts.
Ariel trying to fish for Juri's approval again.. When he knows he did jamahal dirty to begin with. What a snake
Jiri is going to reclaim that belt that he never lost!
Alex p by KO
Belt he won off of an old man.
@@TheBorz0 The same old man who was absolutely destroying every other fighter in the division up to that point
@@TheBorz0barely won but won. Alex periera such a bad ass man
I really like Alex but he won't hold up to such a dynamic fighter like jiri! It ain't happening! Lol not to mention who has he really fought in the ufc that proves he's champion material anyways?? He's going to need more than just a left hook to be #1!
Bro - Jiri is the life coach we never knew we needed. Spending time with him will change your life…
Deal sealed. Jiri is now one of my favourite all time humans... Ever.
that's a really bad choice man
Jiří is just one of a kind type of guy... I wish he could talk to the world without the language barrier, his mind is truly amazing. For anyone interested, watch his document "The Way", its amazing. And I believe he can get it done on Saturday, though it will for sure be hard af. This one wont go to scorecards, Jiří will get it done, BJP //\\
Dude how hard is it to type "the way jiri prochazka" into the searchbar?
bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh wtf is a search bar right???
@@boldottoman
Jiri is going to win by second round stoppage! You heard it here first. Let's go... Can't wait!
But Alex pereira is muslim bc of that he will have bigger chance of winning so we will see after
@@MohomedKarama-xk8jgAlex Pereira is not muslim. The article was fake. He said he respects the teachings of Muslim culture but hes a Christian.
@@MohomedKarama-xk8jgyeah because being muslim helped against izzy 🤦♂️
@@ogziiink3879Izzy doesn't have a Muslim father? He inherited the Muslim buff.
@@josemarialaguingebuff? nerf😂 or disease😂
We are so proud on this man....Czech Republic
let’s go jiri’s
Jiri - …for people that think you have to open a business or make money…
Ariel - also I want to congratulate you. You just opened a new store
@@agoosoriano903 many thinks dont understand... But still better English like other fighters...
@@jirimatousek7088 jiri might just be the truest definition of a martial artist that’s ever stepped foot in the cage
You have the most cringe fighter in your country. Congrats.
Jiri is my favorite MMA. He is just phenomenal and so skilled. There is nobody like him. A true warrior!
Impressive and honorable soul.
Well spoken individual ✊
I've been following his journey for way over a year, catching all the interviews he's done.
This might be the first in- person interview, in length, that demonstrates a grounded warrior placed in a modern city .
His demeanor and response shows that this fast, materialistic environment is not for him.
Very interesting character.
Absolutely burning for Saturday's match.
We will witness a true Mortal Kombat against the poatan.
👊🔥👊
Well spoken LMAO
@@rawaithailand How many languages are you fluent in?
How ironic, one of the most honourable fighters interviewed by one of the least honourable people.
Pfft huh, well spoken? He still learning english, thats cool, respect that, not knocking him for it but hes just stumbling, and rambling off a bunch of cliches, hard to follow what hes saying or what the heck hes talking about. Just look at Ariel trying hard to keep up. Even jiri got lost in his own non sense. he was like “uuuhh, what was the question??” Lol
@@significantstrike-nd8cs yeah, he's not well spoken but I used to sound like him when I was first learning to speak english, you think your english is good enough but when you're on the spot and someone is listening to you and you know what you're trying to say but the words don't come out because you're not fluent yet, its mostly his english
Alex and Jiri are two people who can just stand on stage and say nothing and people will still buy the fight.
Facts and it probably won’t even be too much talking at that press conference
Jiri is a warrior I never miss he’s interviews or fights a great fighter mentality 🔥
Never understood the hate for jiri. Seems like a solid guy, Saturdays gonna be a fun one
Jiri got himself fired up at 13:27 and then had to calm himself down again
Here for Jiri. Not the Weasel.
I don't think I have ever seen Jiri this ready and prepared... scary
He's such a strange guy but in a good way
He's a stoic
Jiri's hands are intense. Size wise, and just the look of his joints, and thumb. Never noticed that before. Should be an awesome fight. Feel like Jiri is coming back to make a strong statement.
Jiri has the "special" factor that Israel and Conor used to have before fame and money got them. Doing things their own way and really believing in it. I hope that he wins and continues to stick to his discipline. It's admirable and inspiring for people.
Izzy and Conor are still special. You all just love taking people for granted after they've been around for a while. Let's see how much they'll be missed when they retire.
Iz never lost that m. Conor is looking like Zac effron and hot that old guy for no reason. Not comparable
lamooooooooooo@@lowlowseesee
@@lowlowseesee 😂😂😂😂😂
@@lowlowseeseeyup, just connor lost it.
This guy's awesome. I'm a big fan of Alex, but almost find myself still rooting for Jiri to win this.
Modern day warrior. UFC does not capitalise on him enough.
Ariel literally can’t go 10 minutes without throwing shade about someone, such a worm
Never disliked him, but this interview made me like him a whole lot more
Last time he fought I had like 3 heart attacks. Go Jiří! BJP!!! 🔥
Absolutely love the fighter jiri.
My heart says Alex.. but something in my head says jiri. He is a monster.
throwin shots at hill 30 secs in
bump
Ariel's a weasel
This kid reminds me of Tony during his early days. Anyway, he is slowly becoming the Shakespeare of our time.
Jo je to borec😊
He's far more intelligent than Tony and has a way better head on his shoulders .
Tony and Shakespeare lmao what
@@mikemorris9902 Tony Ferguspeare
Ya, for real. Jiri doesnt beat his wife ;)@@jackreacher2095
I want this guy to be champ.
I love him. With the antennae back, the cosmic rays will guide him in battle against the Aztec warrior.
aye aye cap'n, i agree.
Poatan is not Aztec
@@DIAZTHEBARBER309and it's hair not an antenna, right
@@DIAZTHEBARBER309 I know, just being cheeky. Do you know his actual heritage?
Aztec??
The Amazonian vs the viking
As a New Yorker jiri is right in his explanation. Hence one of the many reasonsI’ll be leaving New York
A lot of respect for this guy, the way he explains his internal battles and how he deals with it is amazing. Be present and control your self, stay composed.
So happy Jiri is back….sucks its against Alex - dont wanna see either guy lose.
I love Jiri and his warrior slept. He’s truly samurai 💯
Hes an amazing guy. I've learned alot from him, him talking about miyamoto musashi's idea on having a central goal that you subconsciously move towards is inspired. Made me reflect lots.
My favourite mma guy. True individual. True martial artist.
dude got that triangle beard
Lol 😅
He’s got such a great philosophy on how he does things, he’s very honest and true to himself. Nothing but respect for him.
Jiri entering the frame with the energy of a barbarian king
ALEX VS JIRI IS THE MOST MYTHICAL FIGHT EVER IN THE UFC
This is one of those fights where I don’t want either guy to lose. Both are great dudes and absolute warriors.
Jiri Prochazka is like one of the old school fighters. He reminds me of Lyoto Machida. His dedication to martial arts and the code of honor and his whole style of training is just a joy to watch. I respect and admire Pereira’s story & journey but I really hope Jiri gets the job done. I think he’s the best light heavyweight in the world.
Finally. Jiri is back. 205 about to get exciting again
ARIEL WITH HIS AWKWARD HUG
This guy is maybe one of the best proffesionals ever super serious disciplined etc i hope he won’t loose after all this talk and the work he has done to get here i believe in this guy
Props to anyone who signs a contracts to fight this guy, I'd piss my pants in a face-off
😂
I usually am extremely bothered watching people think, but not with this guy. I rarely watch these interviews and just listen, but not with this guy. I'm looking at buying that book he mentioned but there are many different versions. What a guy!
Bruce Lee would've loved this guy.
This is a great man who lives the life he promotes…true warrior spirit. 👊🏼🙏🏼
Love this guy, a true champion and a poet warrior…Pereira is an absolute beast in his own right, but I’ll be pulling for Prochazka this weekend. I have nothing approaching his mindset or discipline but his philosophy really resonates with me. Also really respect when people are willing to conduct entire interviews in a language that’s not their primary.
“Had to keep the real champ up” 😝 throwing shots at Jamall haha
13:25 Imagine having to fight this man lol
Jiri... what a beautiful and interesting, enlightened man. For me, it's hard to not care about this man and what's going on in his world. Even if you put aside everything we know and love about Jiri, the warrior, the former light heavy weight champion (vacated due to injury), a bonafide MMA hero, a business owner and many others roles, yet, still, this man is hugely revered and respected, with his reason. WOW.
Kind-hearted, generous with his knowledge, a total sweetheart of a human are what come to mind. i actually want to tune out everything around me when i both hear him speak in order to hone and absorb his offering. Oh and in the octagon... all eyes on Jiri.
May the spirit gods shine brightly on this highly regarded warrior Saturday night and all nights to come !! Get your belt back, champion---JIRI
That man’s hair grows super fast . Didn’t he shave it all off a year ago?
that's mostly weave but yes, it does grow fast af
He improved his english massively. His fighting is on another level since he was in Rizin too. He is on his way to stardome, no doubt. Future HOF.
Im so glad Ive met one of my favorite fighters.
I cannot think of a more intriguing match-up in the entire UFC then between Jiri and Alex! Best of luck to both men who are true martial artists and warriors!
Jiri is very philosophical and smarter than people think because of his English
What a warrior jiri big fan I wish both Alex and jiri luck big fan of both
Both are TRUE martial arts WARRIORS and I believe this will be one of the greatest fights ever.
Jiri is a modern day warrior, so excited to see him back in the octagon at UFC 295 m.
*Both* Aspinall vs. Pavlovich and Prochazka vs. Pereira *are KILL OR BE KILLED fights.* 4 hunters going in the for kill.
Win or lose. This guy is an idol
Dude is certified crazy. Love him! 😂
This guy is so authentic. Every time when I see how he speaks I believe that every word is true. He lives this philosophy. To be honest, everything can happen, but he is true champion.
In this day of mma everyone wants to be a flashy star like McGregor it’s a breath of fresh air seeing someone with that old school martial arts mindset
Props to production actually spelling his name right. Jiří
He’s a genius I live for this man
Fascinating character. Interesting interview. Old school.
5 minutes in and Ariel already trying to instigate w/ Jamahal Hill, what a joke
Its crazy how jiri learn english so fast and now he can speak 50 minutes on podcast and still get his points
13:29 Jiri is SO excited for this fight
Four literal warriors. Can’t remember being this hyped about a main and co main in a long time
@@Ziltch-Nada7200probably just some kid who hasn’t finished school yet
@@Ziltch-Nada7200god forbid someone actually enjoys something
i like that subtle shade to jamahal
I friggin love this dude hope u win
Love that guy. What a special soul.
MACHA ALLAH HE IS NOT A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER BUT HE IS A WELL EDUCATED HUMAN BEING
jiri prochazka not macha allah, whos that?
Jiri is hilarious and REAL at the same time, I want both to win😭
“How close you wanna go!?” and Jiri rips out and eats the camera man’s heart
“I had to keep the real champ up the whole time..”
Ariel really doin’ anything/everything he can to get an ass whoopin from Jamahal 😂
Jiri is so much a Samurai he bows and say thank you after sex with a woman
actually it's bow and no thank you, i must sharpen my mastery
Not a bad role model at all. Love the respect he gives people.
He’s a real one
The walkout of these two warriors will be Epic
Jiry and Sandhagen has the best philosophy for their line of work
5:35 Ariel calling out Jamal sweet dreams hill. 😂
I love the rivalry Ariel had with UFC fighters/ UFC management haha 😂
Ariel hates fighters the same way Hitler hated his people
Makes you a very questionable individual
Drama queen you are
Jiri what to say... I must show there's new champion💪🏻🏆
Really ariel? You missed out on a really good question here; what does jiri think about Perera, and his ‘warriors spirit’?
Amazing match up here and I dont think ariel realises or maybe doesn’t care
Hope he stays champ for a long time.
The Art Of War is the book.
Jiří Procházka is the guy!
His english has gotten so much better
protect this legend at all costs
Pure authenticity. That was the word he was looking for
The champ and the weasel
The Champ.👑🇨🇿
What legend? Dude been fighting for a minute
