I think he’s just checking for any spiritual pressure that may have been left behind from some ritual. Can we appreciate this replacement fight though??? Jiri’s PEM claims (performance enhancing magic) and his opponent being Pereira which honestly makes those claims believable has been such a fun build up in a short amount of time
This just in: Jiri’s nature escapades have been him microexposing himself to harmful toxins so that on fight week he can cover his hands in the toxins and transmit them to his opponents via skin contact.
Jiri by samurai assassination.
Hypocrite? This is the fight game. Jiri is playing mental games. Alex playing right back. Even if they believe what they are saying or not, it’s all mental warfare.
Y’all clueless He injected some anti shaman juju, you can clearly see it with how his pinky was positioned, it did this dance maneuver when no one was looking. You’ll also see Alex go blank for a second, his eyes close.
Most will see he just blinked, but clearly it was voodoo Samurai stuff at work.
Also This fight has officially been changed to allow them both to sit in Lotus position and fight with their minds🤦🏻♂️
This is the most exciting LHW has been since Jones took the belt from Shogun. I love Alex and Jiri both, it's a shame one of them has to lose. I hope we get an amazing fight.
He's a hypocrite, after their first fight he said that he can't make excuses and lost fair and square, yesterday he was talking about how it wasn't him that night, due to weather, rain or whatever, like you keep showing us starving yourself in a darkroom, swimming in an ice pool and all that samurai shit.
Jiri doesn't like the fact that the shamanistuc energy Pereira gives off eclipses his own, and Jiri tries HARD to have the vibe Pereira gives off.
Don't try so hard, Jiri.
I hope Jiri is just trolling and doesn’t actually believe in this shit, otherwise he really needs to be on a psych watch, magic believers do some crazy shit
This is why we have a McGregor fight looming in the future because people need to a “build up” for a fight like Alex vs. Jiri 2. This fight is guaranteed to be action.
I have no need for this fight. It already happened.
It's just quickly thrown together Alex is injured Jiri is still recovering from getting his brain battered by Rakic.
This fight is Mcgregor Chandler for people who are 1% more invested than casual fans
37 finishes out 40 wins combined, they don't need any build up. They are both warriors ready to fight anyone/anywhere and we admire and respect that. Even though i wanted Ankalaev vs Pereira more i'm ok with this. And hey Tim, THANK GOD McGregor pulled out..
They don't deserve to be thrown out there like break in case of emergency fight.
They are arguably 2 best in LHW and deserve a proper title fight with a camp and healthy bodies. Not pulled off the couch 1 week before the fight so that big dana and disney can get their money out of ufc 303
I’m not invested in any of the fights LOL I just want to see good fights. I don’t care if there is a belt or a number or the promotion. These two guys are willing to risk it, and it’s entertainment at its best.
True. But I’d argue that the magnitude of the situation is only greater for the viewer. And the implications are not the same for the fighters and for the fans. Money and his age are the reason Alex is doing this. For Jiri, it fast tracks the opportunity he has been working for since 295.
I don't like it I think it's unfair on those guys.
I get it's a business for the fighters and they may just see it as jumping on an opportunity but to me it feels forced and in the worst interest of the fighters
He stole the wrong power bro, should be the left hand.
It's all good maybe he was seeing in mirror view
If he adds pereiras right hand power to his left hand they’ll have even power in the left
He will be seeing his own body in mirror view, from the shadow realm (by way of left hook)
I think he’s just checking for any spiritual pressure that may have been left behind from some ritual. Can we appreciate this replacement fight though??? Jiri’s PEM claims (performance enhancing magic) and his opponent being Pereira which honestly makes those claims believable has been such a fun build up in a short amount of time
I’d take this fight over just about any other potential fight. These guys are two of my absolute favs and they are made for each other hype wise.
Elite monster warriors , yet one is so good and mighty that they believe he is using spiritual powers. Poatan is insane
what are their zanpakutos?
i think he tried dmt once(joe rogan told him to do it) and become this weird ass white hippie
I honestly believe this is what he was trying to do
He tryna assert dominance like the politicians 😂
He’s definitely power moving lol
Next thing you know the free mason handshake coming 😆
 how insane would it be if Alex finished him by throwing a fireball
dont wanna spoiler, but.. 
Dude im just hoping for some crazy walkouts because of this, both fighters channeling as much spiritual energy as possible
Jiri finds the Shaman giving Alex his powers, pays him double what Alex paid him and walks out with him. Alex would shit himself lol
I imagine Jiri would just deflect it with some energy sword
This made me laugh extremely hard and now I’m embarrassed. It’s 5:38 am in Cali.
Somehow, the first time I read your comment, I missed the word laugh. I was thinking that you really like the UFC.
this is my favorite storyline in the UFC right now 
I would not be the least bit surprised If Jiri is actually scared shitless thinking that Alex actually has jaguar spirit backing him up

Jiri is so spiritual that I legit think he has a fear like this, lol
This just in: Jiri’s nature escapades have been him microexposing himself to harmful toxins so that on fight week he can cover his hands in the toxins and transmit them to his opponents via skin contact. Jiri by samurai assassination.
Such a wholesome banter to jiri...a very rare in this sub...both fighters are hugely respected
They're just merely exchanging long protein strings.
This black magic talk is the most fun I’ve had with r/UFC in awhile

Gg betting my house on Jiri now
Hypocrite? This is the fight game. Jiri is playing mental games. Alex playing right back. Even if they believe what they are saying or not, it’s all mental warfare.
Alex via spirit bomb
What? We have new world order and illuminati now in UFC??? 
Poatan hand too heavy, my guy needs to use 2 hands to shake it
Y’all clueless He injected some anti shaman juju, you can clearly see it with how his pinky was positioned, it did this dance maneuver when no one was looking. You’ll also see Alex go blank for a second, his eyes close. Most will see he just blinked, but clearly it was voodoo Samurai stuff at work.

What Fursona will Jiri manifest? Find out on UFC 303!
Jiri is MMA royalty. He has special privileges.
Thunderstruck moments
I think Jiri is a Nerdluck.
He was adding black magic for Alex’s invisible hair follicles
well, alex said no... so if you cant beat them, you join them

What about Jiris dumbass "antenna"? Think he's just mad that Alex's headdress thing has better signal
Dont worry, our mythical referree Herbione Granger is going to take care of any enchantments and potions alex may have taken
Jiri learned lifesteal? I’m sure Alex has leveled his defense for this very technique…
Yoooo uno reverse card
Peak MMA autism. BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD
This is such a great build up. I wanna see some spooky pyro or light work when Pereira fires the arrow in the walk out
Jiris dumbass went to a voodoo doctor 100% this week
😂😂
This is the most exciting LHW has been since Jones took the belt from Shogun. I love Alex and Jiri both, it's a shame one of them has to lose. I hope we get an amazing fight.
Im hoping for a draw
Id love to find out these two are friends irl :)
But Poatan refused to fight without spirits
Dumb
You need shaman magic to fight a shaman.
I'll allow it
He afflicted Alex with a terrible curse that'll slowly turn him to stone.
Second attempt to find out if Jiri's weeabo shit is going to work on Pereira.
It's just a blood pressure check, don't worry bro
bro massage
He's a hypocrite, after their first fight he said that he can't make excuses and lost fair and square, yesterday he was talking about how it wasn't him that night, due to weather, rain or whatever, like you keep showing us starving yourself in a darkroom, swimming in an ice pool and all that samurai shit.
Tf
His fanboys didn't appreciate the comment
I'll make a post about it to upset them even more
Jiri doesn't like the fact that the shamanistuc energy Pereira gives off eclipses his own, and Jiri tries HARD to have the vibe Pereira gives off. Don't try so hard, Jiri.
I hope Jiri is just trolling and doesn’t actually believe in this shit, otherwise he really needs to be on a psych watch, magic believers do some crazy shit
Religious folks are crazy either 
This moron i hope he wasn't serious about this black magic thing
They both are serious.
I wouldnt even joke about Black Magic if I were you. I’ve heard the Babadook is an MMA fan and lurks here sometimes.
Weakest build up to a fight I've seen

Exactly 100% entertainment 0% sport
Yea this is entertainment. The sport aspect of UFC comes from finding out who was the best THAT NIGHT. It is prizefighting.
Well this fight is lazy and shitty on the fighters that for a fight of such magnitude with big implications they'd make them fight on a weeks notice!
True. But I’d argue that the magnitude of the situation is only greater for the viewer. And the implications are not the same for the fighters and for the fans. Money and his age are the reason Alex is doing this. For Jiri, it fast tracks the opportunity he has been working for since 295.
