I do not. I hate that. But I think we can agree that if Jiri gets out of his own way he can be the champion again.

Remember Racic?

He wins and loses by bezerking so it’s not a matter of getting out of his way. He’s not as bad as MC Gameplan in that regard. He’s not even got that level of awareness. MC chooses stupidity. Jiri works on instinctive flow.
The only troubling thing is how he failed to process his last loss at that time.
Maybe he’s gotten a better handle on it now but if not he’s in trouble going forward.

I highly doubt Jiri will ever be champion again. He would have to change his style completely and be more defensively minded to ever get close to it again. 4 times in the ufc he’s been KTFO and he still fights with reckless abandonment with his style. He's just a dumb fighter that’s never going to change.

Rakic had the fight won before he got caught. Fighters can get tired or they get caught. Look at Khalil, hurt Jiri multiple times, was dominating the fight, got tired, got finished. It happens, but we don’t know how good Stirling is yet. So far so good and he has strong kickboxing credentials, unlike Rakic.

Jim Miller vs Terrance McKinney not being the third fight and buried on the prelims also sucks.

The rest of the MSG card is fine, but it feels like it's missing 1 big fight and some of these fights don't make much sense to me. But it's better than some of the junk we got last year.

You think it should have 3 title fights?

No just a big fight,
Ilia Topuria vs Paddy Pimblett
Joe Pyfer vs Bo Nikal
Alex Pereira vs Derrick Lewis
Max Holloway vs Pittbull

Yousri Belgaroui hasn't even been in a co-main event yet and he's main card on the MSG

But if Joshua Van and Manel Kape wanted to fight on this card I would love that.

Stirling koes jiri. Only question is it the first round or 2nd?

I wasent that impressed with his debut in the UFC, but since then he’s been impressive. He got hurt badly against the Polish Power but came back and tkoed him. Unlike Jiri, Stirling has his hands where they should be which makes him harder to hit.

Apparently he’s won world titles in K1 and regional titles in Muay Thai. He’s putting his weapons together now and if he dispatches Jiri he should be next in line.

He wouldn't have to change his style completely. He just needs some tweaking in the aggression dept.

What're you talking about?
He's ONLY lost 3 times.
He's been ko'd twice by "Champa" and once to Ulberg (in a fight he was winning)
His style is dangerous ,sure. But that goes for his opponent as well.
He'll beat Stirling imo. And I think he beats Ulberg in a rematch.

His style is what it is at this point. But small changes in where his hands are at when pushing the GO switch. Can make him extremely hard to deal with.

Rakic had 40 something KB matches. Sterlings kickboxing record is more polished but let's not act like Rakic wasn't a seasoned kick boxer as well.
