Media Jiri doubles down on Goddard making the right decision and that he was totally out

Jiri is ten times the honorable martial artist than many of these prize fighters out here...





But Jiri fans, no need to keep coping. HE WAS OUT

He seems to be. What changed in his life? I read he was a tool always looking for street fights when he was younger.

He said Marc Goddard was 'right' but then went on to say 'maybe another 2 or 3 seconds it would be a different way, but what happened, happened, I accept that.'

Translation: he is in fact not doubling down and is calling it early.

I think it is pretty obvious what is happening based on his initial reaction and his subsequent statements. He thinks the stoppage was early, but doesn't think it was egregiously early, and is trying to be honorable/diplomatic about it.

He probably saw some japanese samurai anime and couple that with cte he became like this

um...life happened. He decided to change his life and dedicated himself to the sport, changed his philosophy. He was a young man just having fun, not some terrible person.

He took ten+ straight unanswered and then went totally limp

Good stoppage

I guess there is no controversy.

No, he knows that ref’s stop fights in order to protect a defenceless fighter from receiving severe damage that’s why its the right call. Its possible he could have recovered(1%< most likely) as Jiri pointed out but its not worth the risk.

People can grasp the fact people change. The 30yr old me isn’t the same as the 25yr old me or even 20yr old me. getting your ass beat constantly in a gym humbles.

 

[Joshuaace]

Commited to a style of fight that results in finishes, one way, or the other. Just like Charles Oliveira, I see how that style is going to lead to some blemishes on the record, but even those blemishes are exciting so I can look past them.

He didn't go limp.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

It looked early to me in real time. I haven’t really seen replays except the angle we saw it from in real time.

If Jiri is ok with it, fine.

And no, I’m not a Jiri fan. It just looked too early in real time to me.

Stockholm syndrome. Is normal

 

[Final Say]

He didn't go limp.

Watch the video he clearly did.

 

[blaseblase]

"Mark Goddard was right. Maybe 2, 3 more seconds and it would have been a different way. But what happened, happened."

He's saying he could have kept fighting but is accepting the ref's decision. That's what a humble fighter does. He doesn't want to throw Goddard under the bus.

 

[blaseblase]

Never happened. We all watched the fight. They played it back in slo mo and we all saw that it was an early stoppage. He got hurt and fell back with Poaton on top of him, he never went limp.
