There's been some dispute about whether Jiri actually didn't want to kick the injured leg/didn't want to win through Ulberg's injury or whether that's a false narrative, let's set that aside and assume as a premise of the poll that he did indeed not want to win by kicking the injured leg and wanted to win by boxing, how do you view that? Do you think that's honorable or do you think it's stupid?
It’s respectable and stupid at the same time. You can appreciate the fact that he respects his opponent to that level but it’s not the right sport to be doing that in.
Looked like he was trying to take Ulbergs head off to me, BS excuse about mercy. Did his usual chin in the air when in a fire fight and was caught again.
Did you also notice in the post fight interview it was Joe Rogan that put the words in Jiri's mouth and he ran with it. Jiri was speechless not knowing how he lost. Joe says " it looked like you were taking it easy due to his injury and backed off. Then Jiri is like, yes yes that is what happened.
There is no mercy in fighting. I understand the "I don't want to win this way" gesture but you offer him a rematch after finishing him before thinking that
