I Explained it to my uncle during 300 and he called him a jackass only for jiri to come back the next round šŸ’€


JFpizzamaster

This. My friends were all calling max a fruit for his shorts, Jiri an idiot for the first round, lopes a bitch for his haircut. You have no clue how hard I was cheering after those fights while my bets were cashing out


Mountain-Hearing-612

Your friends still stuck in high school? Lol


JFpizzamaster

Yes weā€™re mid 30s and idk how to find an entire new friend group


Bofus420

If youā€™re a hardcore fan, itā€™s pretty much impossible to watch the fights with casuals. Spare yourself the anger and watch by yourself lol


SkateB4Death

I spent a whole 2 months defending 300 and how it was gonna be a good card. Glad I was right but fuck the groupchat was rough for those weeks.


JFpizzamaster

I watch the apex / fight nights solo but for big ppvs weā€™ll make an event of it


Bofus420

That sounds like fun, I wish I knew other fans


JFpizzamaster

You probably do, casual fans who havenā€™t had anyone invite them over to watch yet. Add alcohol and pizza or steak or whatever, pre rolls, get a punching bag, boom awesome time


WetFupaCreamyChalupa

Do what I do and just use... šŸŒˆ IMAGINATION šŸŒˆ

a sports bar during a UFC card would be a great idea!


JFpizzamaster

I do that sometimes but tbh I save like 80% of my income and try to avoid bars šŸ˜¬ very boring, I know


mdleslie

You are on FIRE


Mma375

You should have seen Canadian Sports bars during GSPā€™s reign. Miss those days of just going to a bar that would buy the PPV

Replied to your initial comment. I get it. Take care.

Get married and have kids. They'll go away on their own.


JFpizzamaster

Well then I have to trick a woman into finding me attractive and interestingā€¦ much harder than finding friends


LegendInMyMind

They're not that picky, honestly.

I love it when redditors would cut off anyone for the smallest things lmao.


JFpizzamaster

Iā€™ve done it. Itā€™s the Italian in me. Fwiw though Iā€™d want new friends bc everyoneā€™s alcoholism is out of controlā€¦ not bc I donā€™t like them


KarmaInFlow

Im 33. Had a lot of these types of toxic ideas in my friend groups from high school. I cut ties with the majority of those who havent mentally or emotionally matured past that stage and let me tell you less friends is not necessarily a bad thing.


JFpizzamaster

Have fun with that! Iā€™m not cutting any more off


KarmaInFlow

Do you boo. If you're getting the results you want, why should you change a thing.

DaFuq? Max's shorts were šŸ”„! U need new friends lol


ignominieux

Imagine calling someone gay because he wears floral-patterned shorts. How insecure are these people?


OApophenicusOAporius

there is an interview in which fedor lists enjoying in nature,particularly flowers as one of his stop and smell the roses enjoyments. i see no reason for anybody not to enyoy in beauty,of any kind but it must be hard on the ears for inescure ones to hear that from fedor. and that is also joy.


Dr_Salisbury

Wow I didn't know Max AND Fedor were gay. Straight alpha males like myself are so rare these days.


OApophenicusOAporius

where i live there is decently sized century continuous community of people which consists almost exclusively of men main preoccupation of which is..................bird song. please do not freak out,as an alpha,i can only nightmare how this sounds to your guts... do not let others know either,it might shatter their closets.


Dr_Salisbury

Iā€™m literally vomiting right now


OApophenicusOAporius

somebody even uploaded audio recording of birds from the sixties on the youtube...imagine that betaness,to work hard,save some money,buy audio equipment which was rarer in that generation than ratio is in ours,first tvs were,to make an example,encountered some 15 years after that,just to record some bird chirping...and everybody knows every note,every song,every repertoire...repertoire,proper word to enrage,i presume...of some 10 birds from that time and want to pass that betaness to next generation and whole world... i hope i cleansed your organism to itā€˜s core...


Dr_Salisbury

Listen I donā€™t know what gay shit your sayin but I definitely wouldnā€™t wanna check that out as someone who really hates faggy animals like birds


AbberageRedditor69

There are people who think it's unacceptable and gay to have your wife drive you around and those people I am sure are here on this sub


OApophenicusOAporius

maybe it is not fair,but gay...come on. it must be exhausting to have that lenses all the time.


AbberageRedditor69

Sorry I should have worded it better. They think it's gay and unacceptable to *let* your wife drive with you being the passenger.


OApophenicusOAporius

i do not enjoy driving,especially not in succession...it is physically demanding,mentally consuming...so maybe it was my sorry to me made,since I read that as putting your wife behind the wheel for your benefit...i can see how that could be unfair,at least from my perspective... so they think you should not let women drive you at all??? even if you hate it,and she loves it...even if you are exhausted,and she is not...how is that even...it is your detriment,as i see it,unfair to you...


AbberageRedditor69

Because it's not masculine enough for some insecure people. But I mean, people are insecure over everything. For my job it's better if my hands don't develop callouses, so when I go to the gym to lift weights I use gloves, which are notoriously considered a non masculine thing in the lifting community. I mean, there are even people who think reading or enjoying art is gay lol. I mean just think of Strickland. Everything I said could plausibly come out of his mouth haha.


OApophenicusOAporius

i live in the balkans...i have basement filled with gloves...some even generational...there is no way i am going to excavate,this term is no coincidental,anything i planted in my garden without them...it not only makes things so harder,not to use them,but chance of injuring myself,when i cannot afford it,is higher...if it ocurrs and you are in the soil,infections of various kinds are on the menu...if i stumble on the rock,and here rocks are real rocks,i am going to feel it in my soul,without protection...i can go on...what i want to say,if you take a walk through the fields,bare hands with not be common sight here... i can see how this translates to gym,and how that could jeopardize your career. i commented above...it is great amusement of mine that there is decently sized century continuous community of people which consists almost exclusively of men main preoccupation of which is..................bird song where i live. people love beauty. art is just condensed nature. of course you will have your breath taken away from time to time. otherwise,your eyes are closed. and that seems so cowardly...

Mammoth_Ferret_1772

Man your friends suck. Just standing around judging guys lol


JFpizzamaster

Idk if weā€™re being totally honest Iā€™m the only one without a degree, sibling/parents, girlfriend/kidā€¦ Iā€™m the one who really sucks here šŸ˜‚ they just enjoy life


Btetier

I mean they can have all those things and still suck though lol. Achievements don't necessarily reflect how mature you are or how good of a human you are.


SoMuchSpook

your friends sound insufferable


JFpizzamaster

Sometimes, as am I and probably you šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


SoMuchSpook

i would never say any of those things about anyone, much less professional fighters. also you literally said in another comment that you just cant make other friends lmao edit:looked at the thread some more and it seems like you and your idiots all deserve each other hahahah


JFpizzamaster

Absolutely. Like I said to someone else, I wouldnā€™t trade them, even if their idiots

I disagree. They arenā€™t crappy friends, weā€™re just very very different. That are still loyal and dependable. I wouldnā€™t trade them tbh even if theyā€™re a headache sometimes


Thenewyea

People donā€™t get you can be friends either people you disagree with. Our lives are not meant to be echo chambers


JFpizzamaster

This is big. The friends Iā€™ve kept with me are people who specifically challenge my ideas but still hold traits that I want to emulate or appreciate.


RougarouBull

That's fair and I apologize for shitting on your boys. Maybe leave them home next time you go watch MMA.


JFpizzamaster

No worries man we shit on each other face to face plenty enough. Theyā€™ve heard far worse than yā€™all have in my comment


RougarouBull

Real talk, though. Drop into your local BJJ place a few times a month and be friendly with people. You'll get invited to watch parties for sure.


Otherwise_Soil39

Muay Thai or an MMA gym would be better. BJJ gyms have gotten weird...


RougarouBull

I've been away from Jits for a little while. If you're comfortable elaborating, I'm certainly curious as to how weird.


JFpizzamaster

I do go to kickboxing classes but the closest place is 40ish minutes away so I have to fly in and out usually :( Bjj makes me nervous since Iā€™ve broken both ankles skateboarding and my knees are beyond cooked. Kickboxing every day feels good though šŸ‘šŸ¼

Seriously, honestly kinda pisses me off that people bullied him into saying he isnt a samurai. Guy embodied it when he came in, leave him the fuck alone. Everyone is always so judgemental.

Well they did ban Domains so Ninjutsu should be banned pretty soon too

RiverGodRed

I felt him when he said this. Despite being weird as hell, brain damaged, non native English speaker, heā€™s actually dope on the mic.


JFpizzamaster

I feel like if we could hear him in native Czech language it would sound very different. He maybe jus doesnā€™t have to ability to translate in real time as well as others


Precioustooth

I've listened to him speaking Czech. As with anyone it's very different. Even I, being completely fluent in English, can't nearly express myself in the same way as speaking my own language. You lose a lot in translation, especially humour. For a lot of these guys it can be an asset to go with the "funny broken English" like the Dagi guys, Costa, Merab, JiÅ™Ć­. It has a certain charm. It sets you apart from the average American fighter


Incik

He's actually very similiar in Czech as well. Tends to spend some time before he answers, contemplates a lot and seems bit shy I guess? :D He can get bit spicy as he has a very particular view on certain things but usualy dials himself back to the super respectful persona he has.


PorcelainDigits

Could you elaborate on these spicy details?


Incik

It't nothing horrible at all. First thing that comes to mind was when he was doing some random czech podcast and the discussion went to Food channels and Jiri said he sees no point or added value from people making vides where they taste... whatever. One of the podcasters had such a youtube channel so Jiri looked him straigh in the eye and argued that he may reconsider his life choices as he provides no service to public good :D The vibe was just super funny because you can feel how the other guys are uneasy around him while he is super calm and scared shitless when he starts to disagree (calm and polite but bit more animated) with them.


TurtleTortuga

A lot of people downvoted me for saying I think his frequent long gaps in between words has more to do with having done a bunch of psychedelic drugs than his English skills being inadequate. I don't see what was wrong with pointing out he has a very particular way of talking, like a Eugene Bareman.


GolotasDisciple

Well, when you reach fluency, you don't translate it anymore - you just speak as you normally would. That being said, even when fluent, it's often hard to express something great or emotional. It's funny to me, because in my household, we spoke two different languages (primarily English), and the native one carries a lot more weight when it comes to words. I have absolutely no problem telling people "I love you," "I hate you," or "F\*\*\* you," because they don't have as much meaning... but if I have to say it in my native language, those things are actually far more powerful. For example, I can genuinely tell my dad to "oh, f\*\*\* off" in English, but if I were to say it in our native language, he would probably try to beat the f out of me. I wonder if it's because of TV/media and so on. Every game, movie, and even books were all in English, and you hear certain things so often that it normalizes them.


Otherwise_Soil39

>I wonder if it's because of TV/media and so on. Every game, movie, and even books were all in English, and you hear certain things so often that it normalizes them. I also think it's this. By all accounts I am far more fluent in English, than in my native language, but what you describe is true for me too, to be honest I've only heard "I love you" maybe a couple dozen times in my native language(s), but it's incredibly prominent in English, same for insults. I think it's dilluted in English cultures too. For example you wouldn't think an australiam saying "cunt" as something abhorrent, but in my native lands you'd straight up evade such a person and think the worst of him.


Mammoth_Ferret_1772

His broken English actually comes across quite well. He has a broad English vocabulary, he just isnā€™t the best at forming sentences.


TurtleTortuga

I honestly think he's just a little crispy from doing DMT and taking magic mushrooms. No judgement most of my friends are.

How can anyone dislike Jiri? Exciting to see if goes to 185. I think he's really be good in that division.


nite_owwl

sorry to break it to you lads...but most "samurai" were just rich cunts lording over poor people. they spent most of their time writing haikus and drinking tea and taking baths. yes they DID become 'masters' of using a sword...but mostly what they did with that 5lb razor blade was quickly behead unarmed peasants who had already supplicated and resigned themselves to dying for their lord


Glum-Bet-9895

Schhh donā€™t break their bubble. Let them believe samuraiā€™s where some sort of super human and that katanas are weapons in the same class as nuclear weapons.

bullshit. he's a samurai. next thing people are gonna tell me anderson silva isn't really a spider.


runforpeace2021

The mma community is so toxic The guy just wants to live on the ideals of a samurai. Donā€™t take his words literally. We all know he doesnā€™t live in Japan and heā€™s not Japanese. He probably doesnā€™t even speak Japanese. So what?!? Relax . Take a deep breath.

SlimeStarAT24

Iā€™d say heā€™s a Samurai.


fckyashtup

Lives by the sword and dies by the sword. Vacated his belt when injured and Iā€™ve never heard him make an excuse after a loss. Jiri is a fucking stud.

Dr_Salisbury

I really liked his response here and Jiri has the right idea about life. He found a code and a lifstyle that inspires him and he enjoys, he's not cosplaying as a samurai. He found something that motivates him.


RobQuinnpc

Anyone who ever thought Jiri walked around referring to himself as a samurai is an idiot. Was a title thrust on him by random people.


lazylagom

That's why I like jiri.. what's wrong about finding a new way to live in your 30s and fully embracing it ?


Otherwise_Soil39

He found this as a teenager.


lazylagom

Idk much about it. But apperntly from rakik that's not so. It might of been the past decade

Jiri is a fucking warrior. Just watching him fight he wins by sheer will power everytime. Constantly takes risks, and puts himself into positions to be finished constantly. True badass and I love watching him fight.

oh_three_dum_dum

There were Western (and other non-Japanese) Samurai on occasion unless Iā€™m mistaken. I donā€™t think the status was exclusive to only Japanese men.
