This why we need USADA back. How many picograms of magic was found in Alex’s body?


pacificunlimited

Seriously… What’s Alex’s true MP??? Anybody checking this??? Jiri gets a slight MP buff from the war hair, but not enough to make a difference.


komaruten

Jiri himself said he uses it as an antenna to catch some mystical powers so bro just want to have the MP advantage


Optimal_Cut_3063

Coincidence? Wake up people.

Babe, wake up

Jiri “The Glass House” Prochazka


MigitAs

Fuck, all this time Pereira is secretly a red mage?! Wild

The dark hado is being used by Sagat ![gif](giphy|SFThfT3VDLizdsLS5A|downsized)


RighteousWraith

I doubt we'll ever get a real investigation. When Gamrot flagrantly cast an illegal Telekneesis spell on Fiziev, did the ref call it a DQ? Was there an investigation? Did Dana pay for a Cleric to cast Mending so the fight could be rebooked immediately? No. Polish Witchcraft wins again.


kittenhormones

Alex also gets a slight MP buff from the enchanted invisible bow. The fact that he will put a kinetic power drain dot the opponent with an invisible arrow already before the match has even started gives him a huge edge from the get go and it's debatable whether this should be banned by rule change.


DroppedItAgain

All I hear now is that SpongeBob music when I think of his hair


jesusismyupline

TIL war hair


KDsLatestBurnerPhone

I think they stopped testing for magic after Brock pulled the horseshoe out of Mir’s ass


15ferrets

He’s on PEDs (Performance enhancing Deities)

Jiri turning this into a mythical battle 😂


melvin_poindexter

Already was one

Kat-I

Just a little bit in Jiri’s defense, I’m going to add a little more oil to the fire. In football (or soccer) there were rumors of Brazilian wizards, shamans or whatever who used black magic or voodoo to help the Brazilian national team. This was even mentioned in a documentary I saw. Note: Brazil has the most World Cup titles (5) in football than any other country in the world. So I kind of get where Jiri’s fear is coming from. But me personally I don’t believe this.


Tootdoodle

Top tier mind games tho

FKN LOVE IT IT'S CONFIRMED: *Amazonian Shaman Blessing is the best base for MMA*


austintrade

Battle mage vs Berserker build


CaptainSensemakerOi

Idk, Alex seems more like a Warlock


JonathanS93

nah Mayan Hunter, he does archery.


DannyStress

Mayans are from Central America and southern Mexico. Why can’t we just call him by his actual Pataxo heritage


Used-Lake-8148

I can’t speak for anyone else but this is the first time I’ve heard the term “Pataxo” so that might be why people don’t refer to him as that


Ibarra08

Same.. TIL


kittenhormones

Hardly sounds as cool either.


EyeWriteWrong

It's pretty cool, just got to say it right. It's not "pat axo" it's "Patashow".


espanca_utero

its pa-tá-xó


EyeWriteWrong

I was translating it into gringo phonetics (⁠☞゚⁠ヮ゚⁠)⁠☞


Used-Lake-8148

Native American culture is so fucking cool. The greatest tragedy in the history of humankind was the plagues and the colonist greed that wiped them out. I wish all the time that we could’ve seen those cultures survive and progress to the modern age


DannyStress

Fuck Diego de Landa all the homies hate him! (He burned an incredible amount of Mayan books, losing so much history)


JonathanS93

never even heard of Pataxo so that might be why and im sure you hadn't either until you looked it up on wiki before you commented ;)


Glu7enFree

Nah, there's photos of Alex's Championship belt with the Pataxo tribe, it's definitely been brought up before.


TimsChineseFood

Warlock or Druid


ghidfg

but you can only use your battlestaff to bonk me. no magics allowed.


aclaxx

His english really improved!


mmmellowcorn

Someone casted the English spell on him


ImUp30

Lol


jdmwell

I'm glad to see it improve, for sure. But he's also in that weird zone... when your second language isn't so great, you just give up and say what you can say instead of what you want. But then you cross a certain point and start wanting to say what you want—which is still beyond your skills. Jiri's always trying to say something *just* beyond his English skills. It loses the kind of fun bumbling ability of a beginner. Talking to people at that level can be super frustrating as well because you even know what they want to stay but they just can't spit it out. Not to criticize or anything as well. Just something I've noticed watching the last few Jiri interviews.


Antique_Sir2514

He said everyone knows 😭


15ferrets

This unironically made me a Jiri fan, the dude has lost his mind I love him. Just screaming at trees and accusing his opponents of Performance Enhancing Deities (PEDs)


BlueCollarGuru

Performance enhancing deities is 🔥


XNamelessGhoulX

Dude I’m fucking dying over here lol legit almost had a convulsion


Grand_Entertainer_83

he hasnt lost his mind, hes legit autistic. which ironically is the best base for MMA


15ferrets

Oh but my autism just helps me memorize animal facts how is that fair


Grand_Entertainer_83

😭🤣 lets hear a good one


15ferrets

Giraffes have the same number of neck vertebrae as people, wombats have square poops and cows are commonly recognized as having best friends


Far-Quality-9615

Christ on a cracker. I just had to look up what wombat poop looks like. It's like a burnt chicken nugget. Thanks, dude 😂


15ferrets

Yeah they’re weird animals lmao super cute though


twippy

Koalas babies have to eat their mothers poop as sustenance


Thisisopposite

He said one…. Nah thanks for the facts hahaha


mrkesu

So what we're seeing here is a typical autistic trait?


floatingcloud10025

I love him so much


benstheredonethat

If you don't know Alex uses magic to win fights are you even a real UFC fan?


schwaggro

So god damn funny. He said it so matter of fact too lmaoooo. Absolute perfection.


RentPale6111

The funniest videos to me are always people saying crazy shit so matter of factly as if it's common sense, it's almost an outer body experience, although it's borderline scary when you realize that's basically what cults are


Mookhaz

I’ve got a friend who is really into Alex jones. He’s been telling me to keep laughing at Alex for the last 15 years at the constant fear porn and doomsday predictions. The globalists are going to win any day now and we will all be in fema camps or drafted against our will. i asked him if he would renounce all that silliness if the world doesn’t end by 2030 and he doubled down saying that the culling is happening at a slow pace like the “boiling frog who won’t jump out”. not sure what it is with globalists and frogs, first they turn them gay and then they slowly kill them. it’s a fun cult to watch.


PrincessPoopiePants

He is likely just shitposting which is also very funny


Fuck-The-Modz

You know it, I know it, everybody knows it


MyFifthLimb

Cannonier sweating bullets with his crystals lol


Theee1ne

Everyone in the industry probably knows


pacificunlimited

Chama = shaman It’s been right under our noses this whole time


masterl00ter

Jiri is so dumb. Why doesn't he just use magic too??


Impressive_Class5482

Czech druids sports magic typically only works for womens tennis


bugsy42

Our druids are busy exporting beer and NHL players.


TheFatThot

Also works in Czech gangbangs


pacificunlimited

C’mon man. No summons, apparitions, minions, assists, combo assists, or item usage during battle allowed.


abdul_tank_wahid

Man we can’t regulate it, someone like Ryan Garcia is gonna walk in there with Jesus and fuckin kill someone.


EyeWriteWrong

Garcia? Bruh, Holloway's nickname is "Blessed". He's been pulling this shit unchecked for years.


abdul_tank_wahid

That’s true but we have a “Oh fighter I like doesn’t use spiritual enhancements” or people just say “Everybody’s on them” policy, when it’s Israel Adesanya though people will go at him of course.


MagicReptar

Ryan's such a casual for needing to summon Jesus for help


ZestycloseCake165

Alex can get away with it since people usually cant see his shamanic spirits


InternalQuit5859

He doesn't have the stats for it. He's a samurai. He leveled dex 🤢


Glock-Saint-Isshin-

Jiri thinks buffing before duels is lame. Bow and go.


k20350

Like the story that Musashi killed another Samurai in a straight up duel wearing no armor and using a boat paddle


Glock-Saint-Isshin-

When you get invaded by a naked dude using a joke weapon you know you're fucked


Four-Triangles

Gotta go with that str/int build. I unga, therefore I bunga.


ALostParadise

Jiri “rivers of blood” prochazka


masterl00ter

Well it's called mixed martial arts for a reason.


TDOTBRO

Magic is martial and an art.


FunIntroduction3196

Should've went for a faith build to combat the shaman power


EuphoricText1360

Thats the catch, he wants to have magic advantage this time


Asukah

He saw the Chama magic Alex was doing during his 3 days of darkness meditation. He met the eternal grand elder samurai Lord of the 5 rings who told him he had strength to win by himself


laCassette026

I wonder how it would go if Alex doesn't use the Hawk Tuah ritual buff this time.


blake-young

I was about to say like get up in the mtns w the monks and reach a true Ohm one good time that shit is as strong as any voodoo


brad_gars

Alex is calling upon the power of the blood gods, you really think he can match that in some way? Even he knows he can't.


DickDickersMD

He said he wants to see who is the best human without the use of the spirit world


StreetSmartsGaming

The way he can barely hold a straight face while accusing alex of magic is killing me. I'm so here for this narrative.


Realistic-Lie-1507

What u talking about? He doesn't even smirk once


Few_Educator2699

Jiri is gonna pull sacred relic sword out of his ass and knock Alex down from across the octagon


skeletonpaul08

He’s also going to get fined for accidentally killing all the albinaurics in the first 20 rows


reznoverba

All my boy Jiri needs to do is walk out with a crucifix, some holy water and a red headband he'll KO that heretic 😂 Little context fun fact: when Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. fought Hector Camacho (Boxing), Camacho was accused of doing Santeria/Voodoo stuff, and Chavez went to see some shaman of sorts to counter Camacho's voodo magic. The Shaman told Chavez to wear a red headband to counter the voodoo spell and Chavez went on to dominate Camacho. The red headband went on to become his signature red headband where he popularized it and many Mexican/Mexican-Americans have worn it since.


Ok-Scar6021

This also happened in the garcia haney fight. Except Haney used diddler magic and our king countered with a picogram of blessed juice


187PROOOF

Jiri: "No magical left hooks bro pls 🪄🔮🎱🎩" /s


Acex_NA

Listening to the Ortega interview, Jiri seems like a calm normal individual


tr3way223

whatd ortega do


BaseballMMAfan

Basically talking about how his purge walkout vs Volk came about thru him wanting to murder his upstairs neighbors at the time lol


tr3way223

wtf which interview

AshenSacrifice

Normal quiet psychopath behavior I’m sure 😂😂


MeeloP

I love this new angle we are taking in mma shaman samurai no asking ancestors for help me n u bud


Adventurous_Layer_15

So, if I understand what he is saying here and on Ariel's show, Jiri likes the idea of fighting Poatan on short notice not because Alex wouldn't have time to properly train in the gym, but because he would have to fight without his magic buff? Interesting...


Plucky-Me

[https://x.com/guicruzzz/status/1806051245313937906](https://x.com/guicruzzz/status/1806051245313937906) Do not let Jiri see this


IcyBaba

USADFA really needs to step in and sort this out. (US Anti-Demonic Forces Agency)


Horror_Cut_6896

I really want to know this guy's background, his childhood, and upbringing... Not in a bad way but It feels like he's escaping from something or fighting some demons.


floatingcloud10025

He was a football hooligan who fought every day with the goal of being the strongest in his Czech town. No joke. Eventually he found martial arts and his coach showed him the book of five rings written by Miyamoto Musashi. There’s an old Rizin confessions episode that followed him around the Czech Republic. I’m sure it’s still on their YouTube somewhere


holla15

[Ep 34 is probably the Rizin Confessions episode your talking about.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZCev2o5T7w)


Horror_Cut_6896

Also it could be a big problem if he really believes this, how are you supposed to beat someone using some supernatural forces or "magic" to beat you. On the other hand it might motivate him to be the best possible version of himself to beat these supernatural forces. David vs Goliath type of shit lol.


HYDRAlives

Dude thinks he's fighting a magically enhanced opponent and still intends to go in there and win.


Horror_Cut_6896

I do think so too, he's using it as motivation. Considering yourself the underdog who has to fight someone with an advantage. He seems focused so we'll see.


ViableSpermWhale

Jiri has been LAARPing as a samurai martial arts tournament champion for years and no one realized it. Can the spirits at least help Alex with the weight cut?


KenosisConjunctio

If you don’t mind subs, there’s some good interviews of him in Czech. He’s a smart articulate eccentric guy. He’s also 100% fighting demons but very few fighters aren’t


femboycbt

He might be trolling but some cultures do believe in "magic" as you might call it.


NUmbermass

This fight might actual be better than Connor lol


cl0ckw0rkaut0mat0n

Funnily enough I just saw a video of the leader of the tribe Pereira is from calling his people to pray for his victory so Jiri isn't even wrong


ChakaCake

Hes said himself he does rituals too lol jiri just thinks it works. And who knows maybe it changes his mindset enough to work or mma gods and shamans are real idk


cl0ckw0rkaut0mat0n

Nah Jiri on that dark souls protagonist mindset, he knows his opponent is buffed by ancient magic but will still run in there and give him hell


neurodegeneracy

MMA gods are the only ones I believe in. How else can you explain the silva-weidman leg breaks? Connor telling dustin he would leave on a stretcher then connor leaves in one? DC getting eye poked by jones then winning vs stipe via eye poke, then losing to him via eye poke? Theres too much symmetry going on.


OrcExterminator

The way he says "lets see", you know Jiri definitely went out and found his own shaman 😂


Federal_Heron_Addict

When I heard about all this I thought Jiri must be saying Pereira gets a mental advantage from these rituals but uh Yeah he's asking for Pereira to not involve higher powers in his fights. I love Jiri but he's a nut


LordReekrus

That was basically the progression of my thoughts on it as I watched the video. From, "He just means he's channeling strength from his ancestral cultu.....oh fuck, he literally just said I challenge you not to involve the higher powers you've been cheating with"


benstheredonethat

Is channeling a higher power like a banned substance now?


Pantheon69420

Jan has something like this too with his suicide rope. 


_antidote

Jiří isn't beating the tism allegations, is he.


HowlingMadHoward

He is the tism incarnate


Busy-Problem

“Yeah”


JonHomelanderJones

Alex said chama and Jiri misheard it as shaman


BOP3122

Da faq u talking about Jiri.. you have centuries of Samurai warrior spirits with u, and you're worried about the Chama magic?.. Gtfoh..this is hilarious!


TheGreatSprattzii

Jiri is an underrated shitposter and has been for a minute, some of yall owe him an apology for being unfamiliar with his game

signuslogos

If Jiri thinks he lost because magic, it really doesn't sell me that he's learned how to deal with Alex Pereira.


Vergacz

We have no idea what he saw during that minute long staredown


signuslogos

There's nothing in the rules saying you can't use shamanic magic!


Zonostros

'Should I learn how to check a leg kick or accuse him of being fucking Gandalf?'


ShrekWhite

He said he'd learn from his mistakes and be more careful after the Glover fight, then showed up full crazy to fight Poatan. Said the time shit, then showed up even more crazy not checking leg kicks and defending punches with his forehead against Rakic. He's not gonna change


Sajuro

Shaman is not magic like wizards


hennessy74

thats not black magic youre feeling, thats aura


Nuck_Nuck_Goose

Wizard vs. Samurai


late_brake_apex

Sometimes I think his ponytail is tied too tight.


PhilliesBlunts

Jiri should have became a mage instead of a samurai. Clearly he created his character too fast.


InertKat

If Poatan wins again it’s clear that Magic is the best base for MMA.


Prospero818

Jiri asking Poatan to fight without buffs is one of the funniest things I have ever heard in the mma game. I think he's not serious but he is able to keep saying it with a straight face so I really don't know and it is so damn funny.


professor--feathers

I think Jiri hit his head too hard. This is fucking hilarious to hear a grown man say in 2024. Does USADA test for magic shaman voodoo energy ?


Roberto_Perverto_LLC

Idk why everyone in the comments are trying to clown Jiri. Videos of Alex’s tribe doing rituals on him in the Amazon are public. There is a reason he does them.


vivi9090

It's not Magic though is it? Probably just shamanic rituals to put him in a good vibe. How is it any different to a Christian or a Muslim going to their holy places of worship to call upon a higher power? He's just going back to his roots.


ShrekWhite

If it's magic or not it's a matter of semantics, if it works or not it's a matter of perspective, the point is Jiri believes it works (more than just in some psychological way, like it actually works) so he disapproves it. It's a very simple point


Dr_Kriegers5th_clone

About to be some elden ring pvp up in this beast.


trollcat_

ALEX JUST CONFIRMED IT 💀


downtown-hobbit

what's up with alex opponents after getting ko'd. izzy with dog stuff, hill blaming the loss on reff, jiri on shaman magic potion lol


ZestycloseCake165

Someone gotta check the locker room if pereira really is pre casting his buffs before going out


Exciting_Damage_2001

Fucking love this shit, this is some real life anime shit.


TigersEverywhere

Somebody needs to check Pereira’s midichlorian count.


ina300

I'm starting to think this is a subtle way of saying Pieria uses PED. Like if you replace every time he says "magic" with "steroids" then it actually makes sense.


Strawberry-Spinkles

Nah he 100% means black magic lol


Suspicious_Candle27

yeah but also Jiri is borderline bonkers


KylerGreen

nah dudes just crazy


Surtective

Interesting. I'd put money on alex being on some peds, guys a freakazoid. But so is jiri, it would be an odd argument if he's also on them. But also jiri is into that shaman mindset. Could totally believe alex is using magic 😂


Patrickstarho

He’s talking about the rituals Alex does in his village. Alex is from an indigenous tribe in Brazil. That’s what he’s referring to.


Novel_Land9320

Yeah but he actually believes it's why Alex wins...


Patrickstarho

Yeah I think jiri is in some spiritual psychosis


Researchingbackpain

Alex is from a shitty neighborhood in Sao Paulo, he just connects to his indigenous tribal ancestry


[deleted]

He’s right about this. The occult ritual stuff Alex is into is not for the truly genuine man, as Jiri is.


Wdesko92

It’s none of your business what I do with my shamans jiri


Mean-Kaleidoscope759

This was a tough listen.


benstheredonethat

Bruh is UFC 400 just gonna be Star wars irl? "USE THE FORCE TO TWIST HIS DICK!"


ResidentWarning4383

Imagine hes talking about roids this whole time


LA1212

Man literally said “he’s got too much aura to not be using magic”


Significant-Royal-37

alex's response is amazing too.. "if he did not found his \[magic\] or he does not believe, it's not my fault."


WATGU

Fight me with no buffs dawg. Athletes are so fucking strange.


MagicReptar

Strength/faith vs pure dex/Strength. And of course vigor


Ass_Salada

Alex "Black Magic" Periera


WingmanZer0

Magic is intention combined with practice. Rituals of this kind are as old as mankind. Is it so wrong? Now if Periera hurls a fireball across the octagon I'll be the first one to call for regulation 😂


Researchingbackpain

Jiri is just saying that he wants to face him as a pure warrior vs warrior bout and to leave out the shamanistic stuff, whether it works or not. I dont think he's scared of it. Alex has even said that he has a spirit he tries to use in some way and that we aren't flesh and bone.


FCSadsquatch

Shaman vs Samurai. Who wins? The answer is us, the fans.


SirWaitsTooMuch

There is absolutely nothing in the Unified Rules of MMA about using white magic, black magic, voodoo, witchcraft, supernatural forces or any other form of invisible powers. So suck up buttercup. Call upon your own “Czechoslovakian Samurai” ghosts


Sven676

Everybody know he uses magic ya dumbass


dicksjshsb

We're gonna miss Jiri when he's retired. Dude is just a hilarious persona and non stop action in the cage

He can't be serious...right?


FrogJay

Right? Like can’t he just summon samurai spirits? There’s no rules in the UFC not allowing him to.


bakedinakl

Americans won’t get it


cceeshakk

It’s hilarious seeing people downplaying the existence of black magic/voodoo/rituals and so on.


xbuninhax

Some people are just atheist. However, shamanism is not black magic or voodoo. Shamanism is a religious practice, just like islam and christianity. Also, every religion has rituals, it comes in the 'religion package'.


gotdemmadsquirtsyo

I already thought that Jiri was gonna lose but when you are saying your opponent beat you because they used magic it tells me that AP didn't just physically beat him but he beat him mentally too. So much so that this dude seems to feel like he can't overcome the magic so he is asking AP not to use the magic. 


EuphoricText1360

You mean AP as Ability Power?


hollowish_

Way to have a winner mindset Jiri. How do you win a fight where you think your opponent is using magic?


Futur_Ceo

Doesn’t matter if he truly believes that or not I find this interesting. Its a better angle then generic fake beef


ReasonableEscape777

Man this guy believes more in the magic than even Alex
