Not really, goddard saved alex thru early stoppage because jiri can comeback. Look how herb dean let jiri pummel rakic for 44 consecutive clean strikes and yet not stopped early. This is how reffing should be done.
Jiri is special kind of fighter . He gets hit often and he may look like stupid there sometimes but that man is real real deal . He goes to war and beats his opponents almost everytime . His power is underrated and ofcourse his heart . Jiri is a baaad man .
He have great amount of experiences not just from MMA (like Rizin etc), but even from before his contending career, he was street fighter, he fought many times against best street fighters (or how to call that), from 90kg to 140 and over, he never lost (and even in his career he lost very few times, i think he have just 2 loses).
@@michalnebesky791 he won over Santos who I think is better than Prohazka and even Smith. So why is he done? He just didn't got lucky end missed several times punches which if they reach target, would knock Prohazka. Rakic was only rusty and we will see how it is going to be? Prohazka is not that good he was humiliated by Pereira.
@@draganstojanovic6083 S Oezdemirom se Rakić mučio i izgubio, a Jiri ga ugasio. Kažeš promašio Rakić, pa zar misliš da Jiri mirno čeka da ga neko udari. Ima najbolje eskivaže glavom u ufc-u, a i ne miruje. Rakić če se nažalost naćekati da dobije od Jirija revanš, on sad mora barem 3 borbe atraktivno i uvjerljivo pobijediti, npr. Walkera, Blachowicza, Hilla pa da se bori za pojas. ali ima fore, nije star.
@@michalnebesky791 Nah Rakic will get at least 2 more fights in the UFC. He is still ranked 5th in his division. As long as Rakic is in the top 10, he will stay in the UFC.. period
Kad ? Čovjeće, Rakić sad treba da barem tri borbe pobjedi prekidom ili baš uvjerljivo da bude dominantan tri runde, prvo možda Walkera, pa da se revanšira Oesdemiru, možda Blachowitcza ili Hilla pa da dobije priliku da se bori s Čehom. Može li on to, šta misliš realno? Jer u UFC-u to tako ide.
@@xkolm49ye sure he should just call out fight of his life and not get paid after 2 years of break. he gambled and lost. just like alex perera was injured pre fight, with hill. they all get injured before fight most of time.
@@legendaryrababa most of the fighters are actually not fully fit when they fight. Commonly this is due to accumulated issues from the past, rushed recovery and intense trainging before the fight. Rakic didn't lose because of this, though. He lost because he can't take hits from Jiri. It is Rakic's chin problem, not infection. If he were fully fit, he would get KOed anyways, maybe just a bit later.
@@xkolm49 omg everyone is talking shiit, like rakic was getting k.o all the time before this fight, and his chin is glass or something.. he got caught, it happens to everyone all the time. no one said that he lost cause of infection. jiri went through a storm, caught him and won! amazing display of endurance! but that doesnt change the fact that rakic had infection of his elbow... he was injured and not at 100%. you dont know what would be if he was fully fit, cause you are casual fanboy like all us. humble yourself bro! no one knows and no one will ever know, untill rematch, if it ever happens.
@@legendaryrababa The rematch won't happen, everyone knows it makes no sense. Rakic is good but he is "win by points" fighter, relying on his technique, number of strikes, and timing. You never go to distance with Jiri, so this won't work.
Rakic je bio previse stisnut, kao u nekom grču..Da je bio opusteniji i mirniji, verujem da je mogao pobediti..Cini mi se kao da je izgubio meč pre meča. Glava je čudo!
Trust me he had no chance. Jiri was reading him in the first round and did a small test of impact by the end of the 1st round - which already wobbled Rakic. In the second rd Jiri decided to finish him. Rakic would certainly win by points but no fight with Jiri is on points. You have to finish Jiri to win. Out of 30 victories Jiri has 29 finishes and he never lost on decision. It never goes to distance.
@@xkolm49 people don't understand that, Jiri always fights for everything or nothing, without any calculation. Most wins in the second round, the first is to find a opponent's hole or weakness, in the second aggression on that hole.
@@xkolm49 Yea Jiri is the better fighter at this moment. BUT, you can't write off Rakic. The dude was injured for over two years. Rakic is a top 10 fighter in his division, that wasn't the last we heard from him
@@dejanjuhanovski9504 Not writing him off, he's certainly a decent all-round fighter and belongs to the top 10 but I'm afraid he doesn't have that killer instinct/edge to become the champion. Pereira, Prochazka, or Ankalaev - they have something special which can make them champions.
Procházka spoke in a Czech podcast. He said Rakic had excellent timing - one of the best he saw. But he didn’t feel Rakic has the true power, just a decent technique. Which obviously is hugely limiting for Rakic.
@@xkolm49 Rakic was injured. He had an infection in his arm. If Rakic has power, ask the fighters who lost to Rakic. Jiri is just a different beast.He has more experience in the UFC than Rakic, and Jiri hasn't been injured for over two years. That was Rakic's first fight in over two years. Jiri is a former UFC champion, it would have been better for Rakic if he had had an easier opponent so that he could get back into fight mode. Proharska is a too strong for Rakic @ this moment
I gave rakic a bunch of nothing but after his fight with Jiri I see he's a warrior also on thought he had Jiri with that one,two he gave him a lot of other fighters would have went down .
