Yes highly. Jiris not a smart fighter with bad fight IQ. Exciting to watch no doubt, but when you’re in your 30s and are starting to get ktfo, and hurt a lot like Jiri is with that retarded style. You either change things up or continue to get fucked up. Jiris just going to continue. Just like Chuck did, Rockhold, JDS. They never changed their style and their reliance on their chin evaporated with more bad knockout losses. Would it hurt Jiri to put his damn hands up sometimes and tuck the chin a bit? He can easily still lure them in. You think cast iron chinned Canelo, Bivol or Beterbiev wouldn’t get rocked a bit if they didn’t have their hands glued to their chins like a smart person? It’ll only get worse the older he gets if he doesent try to do something. Start fighting with your hands up. If he actually blocks with his hands instead of his face he wouldn’t get knocked out or hurt as much, duh!!
With all due respect but Rakic has been knocked out a few times. In his last LHW fight he got stopped to a jab ffs. Jiri came back and hit someone that has proven can be stopped, but Jiri cannot do that with everyone. Stirling has never been knocked out in MMA, K1 or Muay Thai. It’s good that you’re confident but betting on Jiri at this point is too risky.
