Jiri is mental honestly. No surprise he lost to Alex twice because he uses his head as his defence, but my god Khalil looked so good for the first two rounds. Don’t think anyone could take that kind of punishment in the UFC and keep on coming forward
I just know for a FACT that Jiri and Pereira’s ancestors were fighting side by side at some point in history.
Weird because there’s 2 potential trilogies on the cards for the light heavyweight division. Surely Ankalaev has to work his way back into the picture after such a resounding loss, but do we really want to see Jiri vs Alex 3? Miss me with it personally, I’d like to see Ulberg get it. I don’t think an unconvincing win over blachowichz and a KO over Reyes is the that deserving of a title shot, but we have nothing else at this point.
I think Pereira should move up and have a super-fight with the winner of Gane vs Aspinall. Prochazka vs Ankalaev for the belt and Rountree vs Ulberg for the No. 1 contender after that.
I bet the UFC does Jones v Pereira next. You just know Jones would love that easy fight and he has never wanted anything to do with Aspinal. The UFC will also create another fake belt (like boxing) and do an interim of Ulberg v Jiri at 205. You heard it here first folks.
