Media Incredible photo of Jiri punching Rakic, looks like a video game cover or movie poster

it's a nice pic, but technically from a photo editor's perspective it's called "OOF".
OOF = Out Of Focus (principal subject). Focus plane should be one of the fighter's faces (eyes ideally), and big enough aperture to have a shallow depth-of-field to soften the fence somewhat. Tricky with cageside photography -- you need to get as close to the fence as possible and obviously that area is restricted.
Shot was probably at f1.4 or f2, something like that.

But...that's me being a bit technical as a working photog. Love Jiri and the way he fights and lives his life, super happy with his victory!
It’s not that serious. Chill.
 
It's not often you get to see someone just saying fuck you to every piece of offense a guy throws your way and he just kills you in the process.

Jiri has done this on several occasions to fighters now.

What a gem this guy is. He will always win and lose spectacularly. it's just part of who he is.
 
It was awesome, Jiri’s plan of jumping at him face first with his hands down had me slightly worried
 
Land something, back up your opponent, get inside with wild flying knee that isn't close, follow up with bombs that do land. The Jiri Method.
He is a master of controlled chaos, once he got into that rhythm it was over for Rakic.
