Depending on your ability to recover from flash KO's are going to result in stoppages like these.
Per the Bashido code but we all know that was some bullshit
This is what happened after Blachovicz-Ankalaev, where Jan said in his post-fight interview that Ankalaev deserved the win, only to later retract that claim by saying that he wasn’t thinking straight in the immediate aftermath of the bout.noooooo Jiri is still rocked right now (but not rocked so much the fight should have been stopped) so he doesnt know what hes saying!! he would have been fine and won!!! he was just resting for a minute!!
Jiri was out in the Reyes fight too. Dude still could've won, he has a ridiculous ability to come back after getting hurt, same way T-Ferg and Frankie Edgar used to. But I think the stoppage was fine.
Yea right and 1000’s of people say they have been abducted by aliensHe said it to Joe Rogan after the fight
All you Morans saying it was an early stoppage can shut up now
He uses propain so hes god in white jesus eyes i tell ya whutPer the Bushido code, Jiri should go hara kiri after being rendered immobile from one kick.
Yea but Jiri always gets flash KOd, it never stopped him from winning fights. Fire Goddard.
I agree with everything but the last sentence.
Simply put, it's a title fight.
He went out briefly against Reyes too then got up and delivered a KO of the year
I think he may have very briefly been out from one of the elbows but he was fully conscious at the time of stoppage
Yep. And Alex in full mount would have knocked him out cold
If someone goes out, the ref is allowed to stop the fight. That's just how it works.
Did Jiri still have a chance to recover and win? Yes.
Would the fight probably have been better if he didn't stop it? Yes.
But was the stoppage objectively fine under the UFC rules? Also yes.
This isn't boxing where fighters get concussed over and over because they get so many chances to recover. A big reason of why MMA is so much safer than boxing is due to the fights stopping once a fighter loses consciousness.
