LOL the guy from Ankalaev's team ended Jiri's shoulder. He's like "hey bro, come here, I got you, I can fix it (winks at Magomed)"
I thought the same...if this was like that, karma catched Magomed.
And that backfired beautifully!
Never seen an athlete apologize for someone else injuring them 🤣. Jiri is a special fighter and champ
I'd imagine the dude probably felt horrible considering he cost Jiri like 300k
I love when he says “the Glover” 😂
Yeah samurai Jiri with all his respect to others "The Dana,the Glover...."
🤣🤣
Czechoslovakians have no idea how to use "the". I should know Im one of them. 😅
@@ms_gk czech ppl call themselves czecslovakians ?
The Jan or The Glover fo today?
This guy @ 30 years old is already a legend to his people🇨🇿🔥
Bro it’s funny and badass that Jiri refers to Teixeira as “The Glover” lol
Jiri is an ideal model athlete mentally , physically, and spiritually for all of us to look up to.....
He is genuine and accountable.
Yiri is humble and unselfish .....
Sending great vibes of support and more than anything else...
Respect brother....
One x
Who's Yiri Africa?
@@flintldan Who is Simon An...
Jiri talks the talk. A big inspiration. Love this dude and he motivates me in my training
he motivates you to puII out like a-crybaby
keep grinding brother hope you succeed well in the mma world
It's "walks the talk" haha but yes agreed!
@@vhulksantos it's 'walks the walk'
@@chriscollier7412 Lmao bro really tried to correct him and didn’t even know the phrase ☠️
Jiri has been one of my favorite fighters since Rizin.
Amazing inside the Octagon, good personality & charisma. Makes an effort to speak English, overall a great Champion.
Jiri is everything the UFC wants in a champion. He wants best for the sport of martial arts above all else.
@user-md7nx4ec7dUFC is all hype Dana wants Conor & Khabib copies
Jiri has nothing to apologize about, he is a class act, and an absolute warrior. He will be back stronger than ever.
PETER GRIFFIN ALT 🚨🚨🚨
@@beauaIloevv bro you need to grow up
@@NOT-A-Monolith how? he’s literally one of 100000 alt accounts of peter griffin
Hard to say man. Shoulder injuries of this magnitude are incredibly hard to come back from. It will never be the same. I’ve had 2 shoulder surgeries and I can barely throw a ball anymore after 3 years of rehab.
@@onx9920Nah
Cant wait for his comeback. We are blessed being alive and watch this guy fight.
Can’t agreed anymore
agreed too me
Whoevere disagreed is crazy because I agreed 100%
Idk how jiri interviews don't do wayyyyyyyyy more numbers. The dude is so awesome inside and out of the octagon
@Your Name maybe too but trashtalk gives you most views
LHW is trash.. He was the only interesting thing in there to be honest along with the Glover story.
What happened after 282 made it even worse.
They need Jiri to win the belt back and defend few times to save it in my oppinion.
I know that people like Ankalaaev alot but his fights are boring.. I would rather have a champion like Jiri to defend. That would make the LHW exiting again and people might start to care a bit more.
If he gets succesful alot and Jon Jones starts rolling like he used to i dont doubt hes gonna go and try to grab the belt back. That would be the ultimate revival of the division.
I think a lot of the audience don’t value things like humility, respect and considered way of speaking. They prefer loud people who cause trouble and promote things like drinking, drugs or sleeping around.
Jiri is definitely an athlete that I'd trust to recover the right way. His return timeline sounds pretty short but if he doesn't heal fast enough, he seems disciplined and focused enough to give it more time. I have a gut feeling this injury won't negatively effect his career in the future and I really hope I'm right. One of the most exciting fighters in the UFC.
He will return fast...dude is lhw tony
@@katana_3558 think he’s underestimating his insanity
@@katana_3558 lhw tony? thats laughable. this guy won a ufc belt in his 3rd fight with the promotion, tony was getting lit up by michael johnson at that point. Please, Please.
Jiri needs to train much smarter or else these injuries gonna catch up. Only needs to focus on the technical aspects of MMA and not doing other stuff.
He said in this interview he wanted to fight with his bad shoulder because he believed he could beat Glover with 1 arm.
He’s not as wise as you seem to believe.
I love when he says :
“dah glow-vah”
I love how he calls Glover “The Glover” 😂
Same. This dude is the best.
Jiri is a true martial artist and there certainly isn't many of them around.
Favorite UFC fighter; absolute samurai mentality.
I'd rather Jiri sit for 9 months and be able to lift his grandkids over his head as an old man than see Jiri try for a title one handed this year. Stoked to watch once he's ready
If Glover vs Hill also ends up a draw, then spirit Jiri is the mythical fighter and the GOAT. There are great fighters. Then there's this man doesn't even have to fight to defend his belt.
Jiri is the true definition of a Mixed Martial Artist🇨🇿💪
The champion has a name.
Sounds like he wasn't keen to relinquish the title and he's being honest about it. Conflicts with the initial story that he gave it up unquestionably so as to not hold up the division. I love Jiri btw, I'm just noticing a bit if the usual media manipulation.
Yes he was obviously told by the UFC to give it up.
@@Sui_Generis0 nope, idk why they don’t like the guy but they have had it out for him. Literally sending USADA to him to wake him up in the middle of the night during fight camps multiple times a week. Now stripping his title and probably taking at least hundreds of thousands of dollars from him for his next fight because now he isn’t the champ and won’t be paid championship money and won’t get PPV points.
@@FreefallSC you are so uninformed its ridiculous. Let me let you know what the REAL REASON IS. but before that, they had it out for him? how? by giving him a title shot in only his 3rd fight in the promotion? or is it he debuted on fight island aganist a NUMBER 7 ranked volkan oezdemir. hmm....doesnt seem like they are out for him, kinda seems like they are pulling for him. also he came from rizin, everyone is on gear there. everyone is on juice. also international fighters, are subject to more scrutiny. dricus du plessis, paulo costa, yair rodriguez, who gotten 6 month suspension for avoiding usada, all are international fighters and not usa based either. now for the ufc wasnt going to allow him to keep it. well thats because its a PPV up for grabs, and they need a TITLE main event, at all costs. even if they have to make up a belt...oh wait, bmf, they did that too! wow, your points are really moot. but jiri is a great champion and will be back, do you think a man that lives in a cottage despite making half a mill on a his last one, a man that dedicated his life to martial arts, is worried about a couple hundred of grand. he is with paradigm sports, they also have leon edwards, izzy, and yes, conor mcgregor, good company from a management perspective right, all champions or former. is that clean enough'?
@@FreefallSC They can’t really faze him it seems
jiri is focused on always telling the truth, thats why he is talking slow. 0 act 100% real.
Man I love Jiri. So sad what happened!
I hope Jiri doesn't look like a shell of himself when he returns. Guy is tough as hell so I think he'll be fine
Whereas I am a supporter of Ankalaev, I have been extremely sorry for the situation of Jiri since I heard the unfortunate news about his serious injury. I hope he recovers not just fast but also well. The division really needs him... See you soon Champ!
He still the champ in my eyes
He pretty much said he got talked into vacating
Yeah obviously got peer pressured by dana etc.... due to Heavyweight being a shitshow they need to keep that division moving
They have never done that before in the past so why would they pressure jiri to do it? I'm not saying ur wrong I'm just playin devils advocate ya feel me? They have always done interim belts if someone is injured. Thats what don't make sense
@ButchDaBayBoss 707 yeah but they usually have 2 title fights on the ppv card incase 1 falls off... they couldn't have just done 282 with interim main event .
He’s still the champ in my eyes
Jiri has so much honour like vacating the tittle nobody would do that and then also apologise to glover what a guy get back stronger Champ
@@paladeissan no he was not, it was his decision they had talk but Dana said they spoke about his injury with Jiri and doctor and when doctor said recovery should take about a year , and Jiri said then i will not hold the division and i will vacate the belt.
It's not uncommon for champs to hold belt with injury.
We can't be sure if they would take his belt right away or they would wait becose Jiri gave it away
@@paladeissan fake news
@@paladeissan Merry Christmass
I look forward to seeing more interviews with Jiri.
Jiri and Ariel fine chaps, great to hear this update. Testament to the high esteem A is held in by this honourable champion, Jiri. Big ups to you both. 👏 💪 💪
“The Return of The Czech Samurai- Jiris Vengeance”
This is someone I feel like I can really get behind... He seems to embody what a true martial artist should walk, talk, and act like... Big fan of this Man and I look forward to his return... 👊
Jiri is like one of the competitors in bloodshot. A martial arts master. He's one you send your kid to live with and he sends him back when he's done. And your son rules the world.
I bet Ankalaevs russian coach really yanked his shoulder back into socket super carefully and gently 🙄
Don't trust the Russians even when they bring you gifts.
@@mickeymomighty5660 well especially because he gets a title shot directly related to injury…. i wonder if Ankalaev was the one who did it and UFC trying to cover it up
Who else would be able to take jiri back and suplex him on his head
@@JRsmith. Jiri pays the price for his goodness and Ankalaev is punished with a draw.
imagine suplexing the current champ in a training session like wtf
So
@@love8331 id never invite that guy to train with me ever again, wreckless
Yeah, I said the same thing when I first heard it. Jiri is an honourable, good guy. But he was never obligated to give his belt up for grabs. And regardless, this man will be the uncrowned champ. You're not champ until you beat him. It wasn't like when Khabib retired FOR GOOD. We knew Jiri was coming back, even if it was a bit later on. Jan vs Ank should have been interim. What a farce.
It’s better for his legacy if he comes back and win it again.
@@noelnegele6039 legacy ok but bank account and his kids future...hmmmm, nobody ever thinks about the fighters kids??
@@noelnegele6039 I'd prefer defences over a 2nd win.
jiri is too pure for ufc
The LHW Champ!! (Not to take anything away from the Glover v.s. Hill fight coming up.) We love your style, work ethic, and overall outlook on martial arts! Can't wait to see you back in action man. God Bless!!
One of my new favorite channels. Kudos helwani
Who tf is Jiri training with for them to be suplexing him during sparring?!?!
He said one of ankelev Russia friends
You’re dreaming son
Injury is ALWAYS a possibility EVERYTIME you train at that level
Khabib was a #1 contender in 2014 but didn’t become champ until 2018 and many others like that
@@yeshuasage3724 Bro what are you talking about?
@@yeshuasage3724 Well I don’t think you should be suplexing your sparring partner during training a week before their 1st Title defence as a champion? Something tells me that’s called bad sparring 😂😂
Doesn't seem like the worst injury. It's quite obvious ufc made up all this scenario to make lhw division interesting.
ty for this
Ariel Helwani is the top of the top of UFC/mma journalists. Nobody takes the guys where Ariel does. He makes them comfortable just by being on his show. That’s because they know he’s the best.
That's what Paddy was saying too
Really appreciate him learning English and not being shy about doing interviews in english, true warrior
He's my favorite fighter right now and even if Jamal Hill does win the belt when Jiri comes back, he'll take it right back.
Massive respect for this guy
Happy New year jiri
Great interview, Ariel. Get well soon, Jiri! 💪
Jiri speaks truth to power! The champ will be back to show the beauty of martial arts
This guy is my new favorite. It’s a shame they stripped him.
He vacated the belt (his choice)
@@doposud he just said it was kinda both.
Nobody going to talk about how the ufc talked him into vacating? Wtf is that about? Champions in the past have held onto belts during injury’s, why would the ufc talk a champion into vacating?
My champion
JIRI the goat 🔥 honorable fighter. I'd trust him around y'all's kids unlike Pat Barry, etc
edit: JIRI my favorite fighter
respect to this man. salute champ
Hope that shoulder heals completely and doesn't become a lingering injury for the rest of his career he is true warrior
Respect to Jiri!
I would love that jacket, doesn't seem to be on his store at the moment though :)
True warrior, true martial artist, true man. All these wannabes like Conor. etc trying to act the big man: Jiri the real deal.
So why wasn't Ngannou "encouraged" to vacate the belt with his 1+ year injury? 🤔
Because they think he is more marketable. UFC chooses who their champs and contenders are with their match making. And when they can’t do that because guys they want to lose keep winning then they can just take your title and greatly decrease the pay for your next fight just because you got hurt. Make no mistake about it, next fight Jiri won’t be paid like a champ and won’t get PPV points. That was why the UFC basically stripped him. If they do an Interim title then you have two guys being paid Championship money and getting a PPV cut.
Acl Injury Recovery Easier Than Shoulder Injury
Bcos they want to make Jon Jones vs Ngannou for the HW belt clearly
Real Champion!!!!
You did what nobody has ever done off the top of my head and that’s give up the belt I have a ton of respect for this dude just because he got hurt
Anthony Smith. Lol
Shoulder injuries are no joke I blew mine out in high school had the surgery but still get dislocations couldn’t imagine being in a cage throwing full power
you dont think its weird he was able to put his shoulder into that jacket with the worst shoulder injury in UFC history? And that he was the most tested UFC athlete in USADA for the last year? And that he had to relinquish his belt instead of the UFC making an interim belt which they have no problem doing especially since Jiri is such a badass? And he cant fight till a certain date with the suspension retroactive from his last glover fight. Then lastly, its super weird that he says he would return sooner than they said. Seems as if there isnt nothing that wrong with his shoulder. And I love Jiri. But this whole thing seems fishy.
@@DramaScenes1 Not fishy at all to me if the UFC had to pick a champion right now they’d want Jiri they fast tracked him to the title already……And I would be surprised if he’s never the same again after this injury any doc will tell you to retire after a shoulder injury especially one that’s supposedly the “worst the ufc ever seen”
Respect to you man!!!
Imoved close to the city Jiri lives.i should meet him sometime:-)hes such a nice person,just nice .fighter ,not an actor..
i wish the UFC got Jiri earlier but hes still my fav at 205
“Light sparring session” includes suplex?!😂
Sorry to see sadness in hi eyes
Shoulders are weird Man I went to a 3 day wrestling camp when I was in high school and the last day of the camp literally the last minute I went for a takedown and tore my shoulder to hell nothing was wrong with it the whole time
Still my champ
He is the real champion for sure until he fights back!!!!!💪💪💪💪💪
Hearing the frustration in Jiri's voice is hard because given the chance he would have fought with one shoulder. This way though is not the end to his fighting career.
See and people criticize tj and this is the mind of a fighter that they can over come the injury early in the fight. I know tj thought if I can land on him I can end the fight.
Someones from Ankalaevs team tried to fix his shoulder and screw it up eh 🤔
Trust me from experience shoulder injuries are aweful. I had a bad dislocation and tore a muscle and chouldnt lift my arm for 6 months
So true ...wonder how he will be after recovery ....
I hope the UFC gives him an immediate title shot since they "MADE" him give up the belt!
He is probably the most entertaining fighter in the ufc.
I really really like the guy! great champ
Did he not already have surgery and that 😳 no sling or anything 🤔
Was thinking the same thing. This whole situation seems shady asf.
exactly, everyone’s forgetting the “6 month surgical recovery” Jiri was talking about when he was stripped. definitely 💊 🧃 💉
@@camvalence ya jiri better watch out doing the conor recovery being the most tested by usada by far
Sending Love to this man!!! he's so inspired.
Imagine feeling bad that you had to pull out due to injury. This guy cares about the fans, good heart. Now Dana will slow play his career
No offense, but he allways makes me smile when he says „the Glover“ 😅
What a guy!
If he had his samurai pony tail the injury wouldn’t have happened. He would’ve hurt the ground, not his shoulder.
True champion
I like Jiri a lot, but 3-4 months to heal what was quoted as: "one of the worst shoulder injuries we have ever seen on an athlete"? Either he is delusional or the extent of his shoulder injury was greatly exeggerated.
You heard that he wanted to fight despite this injury. That overconfidence will cost him one day.
Man Ariel’s asks the dumbest questions sometimes lol. “When you injured your shoulder did you feel something was wrong” 😂.
So Anklaevs teammate did this to Jiri lol!
Did the UFC pressure Jiri to relinquish the title?
What a great guy, Jiri is and Ariel is really good at what he does too. Dana, Paddy, wake up and don't be dipshits about Ariel :)
I really hope he can come back he definitely has age on his side but shoulders are a mfer the most complicated joint in the body
This. Once shoulder integrity goes, it's hard to get it back.
Yeah, more mobility inevitably yields instability. Not a joint in the body more mobile than the shoulder
So true once popped always gets popped ...look at ortega
ahoj
Respect to Jiri acknowledging Ankalaev won
Ankalaev didn’t win
@@eatinggum9093 he did

Jan won
if he is committed to improving his english & has a long title run he’ll have the potential to be a global superstar he literally has the mind of a reincarnated samurai warlord & you can tell it’s authentic (not an act)
Come against the champion my Boy Jiri...l like you
The jiri needs to be champion...the dana will give him
Huh ankalaevs guy putin shoulder back inn got me thinking smh
Gotta appreciate all the entertainment but this kid needs to train smarter and avoid stuff that isn't useful when it comes to the technical aspects of MMA because that only brings injuries and bad health. But I understand him working on the mindset being stronger. Anyway, the belt should only have been vacated once someone else became the champ since there's no champ at 205 now...
It must drive Dana nuts that every one of his fighters love Ariel, and want to go on his show. That of course, other than Ali's fighters. But that makes perfect sense. They all bow to daddy.
Jiri is Legit
