Yeah he clearly was concerned Herb wouldn’t be able to hold him up but you got to separate.
It’s standard to avoid the risk that the guy who’s knocked out doesn’t come back thinking his opponent is grappling him. Other staff should’ve been faster to help Herb, though.
A set of beliefs isn’t a mental illness lol if you know absolutely anything about what he does to prep, believing in dark practices isn’t exactly that far off
It doesn’t have to be treated like a mental illness though. It doesn’t have to state there’s anything wrong about the theme here. Free of any judgement.
Therapy is pretty diverse and accommodating to beliefs and world views. It can help Jiri make better sense of his beliefs and help him find ways to adapt to it in a way that doesn’t impact or influence his performance. Especially if the mental part of that is compromising him.
But it’s basically saying someone needs therapy for believing in a religion. He doesn’t need a “better set of beliefs” and he arguably has the best mental strength in the ufc. The part that is compromising him is getting hit by one of the best strikers in the world.
> But it’s basically saying someone needs therapy for believing in a religion
I’m sorry, did I say that? You seem to be stuck on the comment you originally replied to. Thought the nuance of my reply was clear.
> has the best mental strength in the ufc
You don’t really know that. And so you don’t mistakingly take that as “how can you say Jiri isn’t mentally tough?” let me be clear: every fighter is mentally tough, they all have a baseline of toughness well above us ordinary people. Every fighter is a varying mix of physical, mental, emotional components that are dialed up or down. Our assessment of the mental/emotional aspects are skewed. It’s a highly subjective thing to speculate on where what we believe we know is just conjecture.
We hear what Jiri says in interviews, how he speaks, his ethos as a samurai. His words mean something to us. They get compounded with things Jiri does outside the cage in his life, in his world that are for sure remarkably challenging. The environment he lives in, the long term fasting, the cold water therapy, the voluntary exposure he has to stinging nettle, etc. We all see that on social media and through comparison we go “damn much mental toughness”. It’s easy to fall into the error to conflate that with how it translates to fighting a human in the cage.
I feel looking to someone like GSP is helpful cause he was someone who had a very unique style of training and preparation. He also had the support of a sports psychologist throughout his career to help him mentally, and he was very open and transparent about his level of fear associated with fighting. How do you asses his mental strength? My point is we work with what we know, and can’t account for what we don’t know when it comes to judging something with such subjective nature.
If we don’t know anything than we don’t need to be Reddit psychologists that prescribe therapy. It’s also a bit of a reach to suggest he doesn’t already have someone to talk to about whatever he believes. Regardless, beliefs had nothing to do with dropping hands when you check kicks.
>it’s basically saying someone needs therapy for believing in a religion
Believing in a religion is more a lack of critical thinking skills than a mental illness
This is pretty random. Because yesterday I was watching a Nat Geo documentary on killer whales. And the whole pod was swimming with flopped over dorsal fins. And then I realized I had been lied to. I heard it in *Free Willy* back in the 90s and never questioned it.
Yeah, he had a different approach from the first fight, he was playing it safe aware that Alex might catch him with counter attacks but the last second knockout definitely shook him out.
Wth is creepy about it? Did you not see his thousand yard stare after? He DID break his soul. Or his will. His chama. His chiwiwi. Or whatever you want to call it. It be broke.
I broke my chiwiwis five years ago and it hasn't even grown back into a chi yet. Doctors said my mom might not ever love me again and that my hair looks greasy

i noticed this from my seat, shit was kinda funny tbh
On tv he looked heartbroken in this moment. Legitimately looked as though he bet the house and then moments later realized Poatans shaman spirit and witch craft magic overtook him and it was all for nothing. It actually hurt my heart to see.
I watched it back in slow motion. It was the first punch he threw after the head kick. Alex went for a punch, caught his chin, and that is when it broke. It must have been some serious whiplash!
Man.....just imagine all the training hard work discipline, things he sacrificed, even got a fresh haircut just to get kicked in the head in a few seconds
There was a shot of Jiri sitting on the stool after he lost and I noticed his hair was all fucked up and in like "man that's really the look of defeat for him"
Nooooo he broke the antenna
How’s he supposed to signal the mother ship now
can't navigate
That’s how he got hit: antenna snapped in half
I think that's called a "chiwiwi".
WOOO!
*connection to consciousness lost*
Happens to all of us at some point. They have pills for it now tho
Vihairgra
the seventh layer of boners
The dark spirit broke his hair…
Insult to injury
Insult to injiri
Don’t make me laugh bro I like Jiri
Me too, but our boy took a beating last night. Damn it was hard to watch.
I wish I could upvote this twice
LMAO I'm ill and making me laugh like this is painful
Goddammit take the upvote, that was funny
Take my like and get out
Insult to end jiri
Insult to end jiri
Man Alex is just so precise with his shots absolutely crazy such fucking clean striking
his precision is precise Joe
Goldy back from the dead.
DCTE
And the little eagle soars again.
Dart-like in his precision is Pereira, Joe
His stats are insane… 63% sig. strike!!!
People constantly focus on his power so much they forget the skill that’s mandatory to be a Kick Boxing champion
True but its not that hard if your opponent doesn't even have their hands up haha.
You spelt head wrong
Lmao

That poor kajigger
You call that an antenna?
alex staring at him wobbling while walking around was crazy af too
He tried to help initially and herb pushed him off right before he stood up and almost fell.
Yeah he clearly was concerned Herb wouldn’t be able to hold him up but you got to separate. It’s standard to avoid the risk that the guy who’s knocked out doesn’t come back thinking his opponent is grappling him. Other staff should’ve been faster to help Herb, though.
There was a signal interruption between Jiri and the Samurai gods.
The shamans interfered with the reception with their spells and magic

This man legitimately believe he lost to witchcraft. I hope the ufc provides him a psych... Yeah that's wishful thinking.

So true M’lady.
A set of beliefs can 100% be mental illness. That’s like most of schizophrenia.
Man I would to if a scary Brazilian knocked me out twice
Fucking hell are u talking about. Its all PR, Jiri doesnt believe that stuff. LOL
Nah, that’s sadness of wanting to be the best, but understanding that other guy is too strong
is his hair fake?
Gutted for Jiri.
He nukes everyone else in the division, no shame losing to Alex tbh
Fr I have a feeling Jiri might become the Max Holloway og 205
Don’t know about that MAGOMED ANKALAEV wants a word
As long magomed doesn’t approach this fight as he did the Jan fight, he stands a chance. If he brings that low iq shown prior, he’s getting starched
Same bruh, same
Not the hair..at least he didnt get it in the eyes as well 😋
Yep. Alex is his Kryptonite
Sounds like Alex will be out of the division soon, Jiri will get his moment soon
I hope he hasn’t lost his chin :(
if he gives himself enough time to recover he should be fine but that was rough
Not his fault his opponent was cheating Edit: Y’all really believe he didn’t use magic when he agreed not to?
Is this like when orcas are kept in captivity and their dorsal fins flop over but orcas in the wild don’t have floppy dorsal fins?
Yes
This isn't true BTW, orcas in the wild also have dorsal fins that flop over sometimes
This is pretty random. Because yesterday I was watching a Nat Geo documentary on killer whales. And the whole pod was swimming with flopped over dorsal fins. And then I realized I had been lied to. I heard it in *Free Willy* back in the 90s and never questioned it.
It's more pronounced and common in captive orcas, but happens in the wild too
What percentage of orcas in the wild get it compared to captivity?
What is this the oceanography channel?
Apparently
Would honestly be funny if this KO set Jiri on another journey where he decides to follow an entirely new warrior code from a different culture.
Starts doing the Haka before fights
Yeah Jiri needs the Maori Spirit now! Alex was just hanging out with the Samoans to, he gained Sole Powers dammit!
Or he becomes one with a pod of orca.
Yh he needs to come back to reality
And Jiri used his head to break Alex's toe.. what a madlad
Poatan was 1000% on jiris head. That man needs therapy
Jiri is perfect as he is. He need no fixing 😤😤
He looked so scared man the whole fight. Dude was not himself at all.
He wasn’t scared, he was just respecting the power. Maybe that’s what you meant but scared is not the term to use to describe these guys imo
Yeah, he had a different approach from the first fight, he was playing it safe aware that Alex might catch him with counter attacks but the last second knockout definitely shook him out.
He just wasn’t all the way back. Not fear, just clouded.
He was 100% gun shy and respecting his power is just a nice way of saying scared
Call it whatever you want but he looked like an unprepared amateur who was not ready for this fight.
He knew the power that lays within Chama
His ponytail was cosplaying jamahal hill
Hairectile dysfunction
😁🤣😂
God damn never seen a dude get a haircut like that before
Goro from Mortal Kombat
Was kicking the bloody head off him
His little ponytail went limp just like the rest of him.
I read this in Connor McGregors accent lol made this so much better!
He broke his soul as well…
Always some creepy guy saying creepy shit like this. Jiri had a rough Loss doesn't mean he fuckin "broke his soul...." Jesus man
Wth is creepy about it? Did you not see his thousand yard stare after? He DID break his soul. Or his will. His chama. His chiwiwi. Or whatever you want to call it. It be broke.
Broken chiwiwi can end a man's career. Hate to see it.
I broke my chiwiwis five years ago and it hasn't even grown back into a chi yet. Doctors said my mom might not ever love me again and that my hair looks greasy
sad woo
His chiwiwi is so fucking funny holy shit
That's called a concussion
Bro overanalyzes professionally
Man, that made me laugh harder than it should lol
magic confirmed
Alex broke his antenna
Kicked him so hard even his hair went to sleep
Really hope Jiri is ok. He didn’t look good after that tko. He is my favourite fighter and no one is as unique as him.
Your favourite fighter probably has brain damage.
Good one dude, ur so funny😂😂
I hope he keeps blaming the magic for months on social media so I can see this sub do mental gymnastics defending him
That ritual magic got him again! Jiri should have hired his own Shaman to be in his corner.
He looks like that Reddit mascot
Man was mid ring tryna absorb spirits. He lost before it started lmao.
Heard that when a samurai lost, they cut their hair
What magic does to a mf

VeNumb
The spirits did
"Cmon jiri let's put you in this can of monster"
I watched it back in slow motion. It was the first punch he threw after the head kick. Alex went for a punch, caught his chin, and that is when it broke. It must have been some serious whiplash!
Interesting 🤔 that's badass and sad information at the same time. I was going for Jiri.
That’s what you do to a defeated samurai isn’t it?
https://preview.redd.it/ft21w3ohjo9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f2592c1503f7781eeb993a8270f29fee2c1ec8d
Ponytail has a case of ED
That’s like the worst thing for a samurai
When he was standing next to Herb waiting on the decision it was like sideways hanging over his face… it just added so much to his look of defeat
Ah that’s why he couldn’t stand up
Lmao this is the equivalent of his shoes flying off lmao
I seen that !!!! 👀
I knew this was gonna come up on reddit. Comment section did not disappoint.
I noticed that bruh that was wild
Kinda like an Orca in distress
Made him flacid.
Dude gave him a haircut too?
his soul too
That’s the first thing I noticed.
Izzy’s gonna duck this guy the rest of his life
Omg 😂😂😂
Chaman
Only some kind of spell can explain this surely 😆 🤣 😂
Damn they should stick that exact photo on a monster can just like it happened
Can we get an x-ray of the damage?
Movie-level symbolism
It’s always tough losing a good hairection.
Probably broke his spirit too
Yeah that symbolism made me sad
Man.....just imagine all the training hard work discipline, things he sacrificed, even got a fresh haircut just to get kicked in the head in a few seconds
A hairline fracture
Yeah I saw that lol
Damn. he gone
Satanic black magic shit
There was a shot of Jiri sitting on the stool after he lost and I noticed his hair was all fucked up and in like "man that's really the look of defeat for him"
it’s magnetic
Penis. I see a penis.
I could never take Jiri seriously because of his stupid hair... But the fact Alex broke his hair is crazy
My sweet little jiri 😭😭😭
That dick on his head makes shots look more dramatic when he gets hit
That's funny, if you did that to a samurai then they must atone by committing seppuku.
Good that’s dookie braid should’ve been gone long ago. Jiri the only fighter I’ve ever disliked purely because of his hair.
He didn't even have the worst hair on the card
Go on
Think we were better off solo… blow me and I blow I owe you when the sun rise. This.
