and then found himself mounted by a guy with no ground skills to speak of. kind of a dream scenario if you’re a good grappler, hurt by an elite kickboxer. if they stopped fights any time a guy got cracked and his legs gave out, we’d have very few decisions.
It's not even a question of whether he went out or not, he took a ton of unanswered shots and then fell back with Alex in full mount, nowhere in that sequence did he show intelligent defense.
not the worst stoppage ever, but he’s definitely not out. he’s still holding alex’s legs and even shifts his hips over like he’s going to try and sneak out the back door. would he have still gotten pounded out and destroyed? maybe. i want to see if that’s how that plays out though. jiri is known for coming back from adversity in fights. he should be given that chance.
I was arguing with some of the stupidest people on the planet in the PBP before Jiri came out and said he was out. Then they argued that "Jiri couldn't know he was out"
Speak of the devil. Yes, he is literally out there, the ref said he went out, and Jiri himself said he went out.
Ok final say. Well the broadcast team didnt believe he went limp after watching it in slow mo, neither did any of the MMA analysts reacting to it live , neither did most of sherdog at the time, and now we find out neither does Jiri himself believe that. You insisted on clinging to a speech where he tried not to throw Mark Goddard under the bus. It was a early stoppage, and everyone acknowledged it at the time. Deal with it.
