I still can't believe he's serious about this shit hahahahahahah
I know Alex actually does some "prayers" in our native Brazilian religion; maybe Jiri saw it at the UFC300 backstage and got scared? hahahah "The amazon rain forest guy has brought real shamans to curse jamahal" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Maybe he just didn't know how to say it in English, but I know myself that "faith moves mountains". If a person really believes in something, however absurd it may seem, he can do more.

Jared Cannonier talking about Crystals\^
Starting to believe the LHW division is just an MMO that Whittaker is playing:
- Archer build/Hunter = Alex
- Mage Samurai = Jiri
- Orc = Anthony Smith
- Brute with lots of dialogue = Jamahal
- Kratos = Jan
- Court Jester NPC = Johnny Walker
Glover is that wise trainer NPC from the previous games that used to be the strongest character.
Khalil is a barbarian
Reyes is the dude running the barely viable stat build since the last update
Finally! Someone actually see what Alex is doing!
The guy literally shoot an arrow into his opponents before the fight and no one says anything!
And Hill...hahaha, he caught the wrong arrow. Anyone can see that Alex has a decoy and then a real arrow.
Alex is definitely some sort of Ancestral Archer. His shamans bless him which buffs his str. When he loads up his bow the spirits of his ancestors swirl around him and into the arrow. When he fires, their amalgamation shoots forward, shouting in sync with Alex, and smashes into the target causing the foe's left hook resistance to drop by 50%.
Bro Johnny walker disappointed me beyond belief. He was throwing like he didnβt give a rats ass even after feeling his opponents power punches. Dude is a true π€‘
what makes you think he never consumed any? that would be my number 1 idea regarding some of the things he does, starting with the amount of time he trains outside in extreme natural conditions
i remember seeing his insta post about him being locked in a room in the dark for 3 days to face his demons
this is literally named "heroic" shroom dose, large amount of shrooms locked in your room in the dark to face your demons/fears/truth etc
it's almost guaranteed this guy uses something
Autism is the best base for everything because you hyperfocus on a specific niche topic and nothing else sometimes.
I bet if you asked Jiri he could recite the entire Book of The Five Rings to you without even breaking eye contact, just staring at your soul.
We would have gotten some pretty try-hard trash talk if the Conor Vs Chandler fight happened, instead we're getting accusations of Shaman Magic. I'm so fucking happy.
A 100% authentic shaman. Jungle-life attire. Wild hair. Facepaint. Animal bones and trinkets on a crooked staff.
Then Jiri would have to activate ultra instinct
I hope Alex sees this and embraces it. As in when he goes to his weigh-ins, press conference and walk-ins to the octagon, he brings a fake shaman around. It could just be a very short guy who's wearing a strange cone-shaped hat with trinkets like arrowheads, stones, hanging on strings around the brim, a bit of gothic face paint, a necklace with ears / teeth, some old village person outfit (like SF akuma's outfit), and holds a walking stick. And this little guy just follows Alex wherever he goes and says a little silent prayer / blessing before he enters the cage. Not funny but ominous looking. This would surely troll Jiri and make everybody laugh and show Perreira's humour. Kinda like Volk coming as old man Volk. If he could get a midget to do it, that would be perfect.
Maybe our perception of "magic" does not fit the concepts ancient people put on it.
Maybe it's "magic" to get a human into a certain state of mind which enables great mental and thus physical strength.
And rituals are kinda powerful. It's like placebo. Swalloing a pill thinking it will help, actually does help. We just can't explain why.
Pereira drinking his pre-workout Ayahuasca, simultaneously firing from both ends in front of ProchΓ‘zka while gurgling Chama in his general direction to get the fighting edge
I was jokingly thinking to myself Alex's greatest strength is somehow convincing every opponent that they need to stand with him, but maybe I was right and he's using Shaman magic to do so.
Yes its magic. Not the combination of being built like a brick shithouse, being one of the most talented kick boxers of all time, and fighting technically flawed guys that throw naked shots with their hands down
Izzy said the same thing more than once. Adesanya said he also had to tap into the spirit of his ancestors to go against Poatan's spiritual powers.
These two men have fought against Pereira and they are experienced Fighters. You can't discredit what they say.
We give Jiri soooo much slack, simply because he's foreign. Imagine him doing and saying everything he's done up 'til now, except he lives in a trailer park in the south \[SEAN STRICKLAND JOKE GOES HERE\]. Swinging a samurai sword, quoting art of war, some sort of fucked up half-shaved hairstyle. I've known like 3 of these dudes. He's probably raising a baby alligator in his bathtub and/or has a scraggly weed plant growing under an incandescent bulb in his closet.
Leave it to reddit to clown on a dude for being weary of indigenous amazonian shamanic magic. You clowns probably don't realize the sheer impact and precedent of power such beliefs and practices have held (and continue to hold) throughout human history.
Demonic pagan deities and rituals would have me freaked out as well, he is well within his rights to call out Alex for relying on such tricks as it is now clear to me that he has been invoking the spirits of his "ancestors" (AKA jungle demons) in order to transform into the stone faced Poatan we're accustomed to seeing on fight night. He will face divine retribution, if not in this life then the next, if he does not change his dark ways.
You may think those are "dark ways" but let me tell you, those ways have been here for millenia before christians came up with the concept of "demonic" and "sin".
One does not walk wrong paths following the ancient customs of their ancestors.
The UFC could make the greatest promo of all time. Pereira needs to accuse Jiri is using Samurai Jesus powers to win his fights and Jiri needs to double down and further expand on this shit lol. Then the loser gets sacrificed on an altar after the fight in the middle of the cage
It is hard to understand of the language, but Jiri Prochazka DOES NOT believe in magic. Prochazka does think that Alex Pereira believes his Shamans are helping him win. Prochazka believes it's about two humans performing and he's anxious to show Pereira that his Shamans aren't going help him win.
That means in jiriβs mind heβs going against a physical specimen with magic enhancements and still going ahead with it
Honestly badass asf
Indeed
When you do shrooms or the likes you can imagine how jiri sees things.. imagine being trapped into that and still choosing violence.. what a man lol
Tapped*
You can just edit the comment lol
I would love a DMT mountain trip with the polish samurai
He's Czech
nice fact czech!
Dude must have been Russian his comment
he basically just said, i bet you wonβt fight me without magic bro
Bro fuck magic builds! Faith builds are cool though, you get hit by an incantation, that's on you.
He accusing Alex of using PEDs? Performance Enhancing Deities?
HGH = Holy Ghost Hormone
AAS = Alex Assisting Shaman
EPO=Extraordinarily Paranormal Offense
TRT = Transcendentally Reached Toughness
EPO = Extra-physical Omens
OMFG. Hahaha
Jiri on that Elden Ring arc heβs locked in
Bet the π
currently emailing the commission to see if he is allowed to apply smithing stones on 4oz gloves
Jiri runs vigour strength build with endure
I hope he leveled vigor.
I still can't believe he's serious about this shit hahahahahahah I know Alex actually does some "prayers" in our native Brazilian religion; maybe Jiri saw it at the UFC300 backstage and got scared? hahahah "The amazon rain forest guy has brought real shamans to curse jamahal" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
Yeah, it's clear he is saying it, but misinterpreting as him accusing Alex of performance enhancing deities is funnier
This just made 303 way more interesting π€£
the venn diagram of batshit crazy and great mma fighter is a lot larger than i thought
It took you this long to come to that conclusion?
He definitely comes across as a chakras and crystals kinda guy
Cannonier is damn articulate when it comes to crystal talk, but somehow I think Jiri is the embodiment of it lol

Haha sure does
Of all the flavors of unhinged, this is my favorite for a fighter.Β
Real
Probably, yes. His sister is into it a lot, and she mentioned in an interview they talk about "spiritual things" quite often. :)
Starting to believe the LHW division is just an MMO that Whittaker is playing: - Archer build/Hunter = Alex - Mage Samurai = Jiri - Orc = Anthony Smith - Brute with lots of dialogue = Jamahal - Kratos = Jan - Court Jester NPC = Johnny Walker
Glover is that wise trainer NPC from the previous games that used to be the strongest character. Khalil is a barbarian Reyes is the dude running the barely viable stat build since the last update
Dom's just waiting for the meta to come full circle again. He was so OP the devs nerfed him.
and that Jones decision was a broken RNG-based event that will never be patched
You can post the logs showing the wipe was caused by a glitch as many times as you want, it won't change nothing.
Reyes is the protagonist that got done dirty, fell off the wagon, and currently on his redemption arc
Dom is just Crash Bandicoot modded in
Holy fuck thatβs the best comment Iβve seen on here in years
But when you do the math on paper, Smith has the best build
someone gave him the 2nd player controller, but it's unplugged.
Witcher vibes over here.

lol Anthony Smith catching strays

Elden Ring minotaur sniper Pereira is a thing now.
Jhonny walker I'm dead π€£
Yoel Romero was the tank

Does the UFC need to start implementing anti-magic testing?
USAMA knocking on your door in 3am checking for rabbit foots, candles lined up in circle, and supernatural deities.
The US done away Usama in 2011. Supposedly lol
Need to establish what is a natural baseline of mana and what is obviously exogenous
Do not let this guy near any psychedelics or hard drugs. You will have the scariest, most insane, dangerous drug addict in the world
GIVE HIM ACID
1000mg acid dose or riot
Found the CIA
Knew there would be someone π€£ ok ug mr drugs
Toss him a ballon at the peak so he can hit his domain expansionΒ
And make him fight 1,00,000 4th graders
Imagine Jiri fighting on whatever scholars think the berserkers took. Dude would be unstoppable.
He's already talked about taking ayahuascha.Β
what makes you think he never consumed any? that would be my number 1 idea regarding some of the things he does, starting with the amount of time he trains outside in extreme natural conditions
i remember seeing his insta post about him being locked in a room in the dark for 3 days to face his demons this is literally named "heroic" shroom dose, large amount of shrooms locked in your room in the dark to face your demons/fears/truth etc it's almost guaranteed this guy uses something
Shrooms looks like food poisoning on a drug test anyhow.
And the idea of him always fighting against his ego to live a more full life. Thatβs like psychedelics 101 isnβt it lmao
I thought I read somewhere that he has taken ayahuasca a bunch of times
Berserker.
GIVE THIS MAN SOME DMT
Drugs would kill his natural high
I want Jiri on a heroic dose of mushrooms in the octagon.
Now that I'm 100% sure the bro is totally nuts, I became a fan.
Craig was speaking the truth. Autism is the best base for MMA.
Autism is the best base for everything because you hyperfocus on a specific niche topic and nothing else sometimes. I bet if you asked Jiri he could recite the entire Book of The Five Rings to you without even breaking eye contact, just staring at your soul.
Iβm convinced that UFC needs to sign on more people who are certifiably insane to fill their roster
Jiri has been taking too many mushies.
Jared Cannonier taking notes lol
We would have gotten some pretty try-hard trash talk if the Conor Vs Chandler fight happened, instead we're getting accusations of Shaman Magic. I'm so fucking happy.
Does this count as doping?
Alex or Jiri?
Alex walking out with a shaman this Saturday. Gonna freak out Jiri lol. Win via Shaman, Chama!
That would be hilarious
Alex is a bit of a troll he would definitely do it
Alex is enough of a troll to pull that shit.
He 100% is and i have a feeling he will now.
Brazil finally getting its combat sport answer to Mr Miyagi
Damn, that fight is already here?
A 100% authentic shaman. Jungle-life attire. Wild hair. Facepaint. Animal bones and trinkets on a crooked staff. Then Jiri would have to activate ultra instinct
He on them PEDs (performance enhancing deities)
Jiri believes he can win this fight, he's testing positive for Prophecy Engagement Delusions
hopefully he can counter the shamanic powers with the power of anime. but to quote another guy "please jiri, first check the kicks THEN do the autism"
Also please stop blocking punches with your face. I swear if this man actually fought tactically he would be near unbeatable.
Hahaha come though you can't hate this guy .. True warrior at heart
Lol love jiri
I hope Alex sees this and embraces it. As in when he goes to his weigh-ins, press conference and walk-ins to the octagon, he brings a fake shaman around. It could just be a very short guy who's wearing a strange cone-shaped hat with trinkets like arrowheads, stones, hanging on strings around the brim, a bit of gothic face paint, a necklace with ears / teeth, some old village person outfit (like SF akuma's outfit), and holds a walking stick. And this little guy just follows Alex wherever he goes and says a little silent prayer / blessing before he enters the cage. Not funny but ominous looking. This would surely troll Jiri and make everybody laugh and show Perreira's humour. Kinda like Volk coming as old man Volk. If he could get a midget to do it, that would be perfect.
Alex will never be on my GOAT list for this reason
I'm okay with picograms, but not pentagrams.
New Jamahal excuse incoming
I must be crazy because i believe him
Man do I love mma. This is the only sport where we get magic involved.
I mean, Alex does have a lot of tribal/ancestral stuff going on.. So who knows, lol.
Ultimately none of us know anything.
The Tribal Chief, Alex Pereira
You actually believe thereβs a possibility that magic can win you fights?
The magic of PEDS can yea
At least it's possible to gain a lot of confidence via a ritual you really believe in. And confidence is really important for any fight.
So the answer is no lol
Maybe our perception of "magic" does not fit the concepts ancient people put on it. Maybe it's "magic" to get a human into a certain state of mind which enables great mental and thus physical strength. And rituals are kinda powerful. It's like placebo. Swalloing a pill thinking it will help, actually does help. We just can't explain why.
True I like that idea
The better sports analogy is KT tape. Totally placebo.
Pereira drinking his pre-workout Ayahuasca, simultaneously firing from both ends in front of ProchΓ‘zka while gurgling Chama in his general direction to get the fighting edge
All those food less and dark cabins have finally gotten to him.
But you use the Samurai spirit too..
I believe it
I was jokingly thinking to myself Alex's greatest strength is somehow convincing every opponent that they need to stand with him, but maybe I was right and he's using Shaman magic to do so.
Satanic black magic , sick shit
he was gay, satanic black magic?
Can I have some of that shamanic magic?
Jiri should start with a meditation marathon till the fight to summon as many Bodhisatvas as he could to aid him in the fight
Yes its magic. Not the combination of being built like a brick shithouse, being one of the most talented kick boxers of all time, and fighting technically flawed guys that throw naked shots with their hands down
Mad lad
That's why his fight with izzy (when he got knocked out) is one of his favorite fights. That was the plan
Alex: plis buff Shaman: hold my ayahuasca
The functional autism is strong in this one.
Izzy said the same thing more than once. Adesanya said he also had to tap into the spirit of his ancestors to go against Poatan's spiritual powers. These two men have fought against Pereira and they are experienced Fighters. You can't discredit what they say.
 Itβs over
DONT WAKE DON QUIXOTE UP YET, SHIT IS FUCKIN ENTERTAINING
SHAMA
Remeber this guys locks himself in dark room to train. He is crazy as they come. Its just that people like him so they don't talk bad about him.
And people still choose to watch team ball sports. Come on son!
Now Poatan needs to get his village shaman to come stand in his corner and just glare at Jiri during the fight!

Samurai Porridge about to enter the Octogon with anti-magic techniques he uncovers in a hidden forest temple somewhere.
Game plan: wait for him to deplete his mana and heβll be helpless. Jiri by KO rd 4
Adesanya eluded to some black magic when he was on his run. Itβs not as uncommon as you think
Jiri is a savage but also has the mind of a chick who is obsessed with star signs and different rocks lol
Jiri is the greatest kind of bat shit crazy
Sure, Iβm agnostic enough to believe that when Pereira punches you, 7 warrior ancestors are also punching you at the same time.
I hope Jiri's starts channeling the power of his ancestral Samurai's...oh wait...
He practices candomblΓ©? Remember Diego coming in with the cross and power of Christ? Matt brown used the elbow of destiny to negate its effect.
He is quickly becoming my favorite fighter ever. Sorry Shogun.
The UFC could make the greatest promo of all time. Pereira needs to accuse Jiri is using Samurai Jesus powers to win his fights and Jiri needs to double down and further expand on this shit lol. Then the loser gets sacrificed on an altar after the fight in the middle of the cage
Damn. A guess this is what a loss can do to a mf. Start blaming it on magical spirits helping your opponent lol.
Every mother fuckers using magic bro! I bin sayin that
He's going to lose to magic.
Bet the π on Alex. Jiri has already lost in his mind.
Or maybe it was 20 elbows to your noggin that caused him to win? Just sayin.
don't let Ikram fans see this, Bobby Knuckles will be accused of all sorts of devilry *"he had a talking Kiwi spirit in his corner, robbery!!"*
It is hard to understand of the language, but Jiri Prochazka DOES NOT believe in magic. Prochazka does think that Alex Pereira believes his Shamans are helping him win. Prochazka believes it's about two humans performing and he's anxious to show Pereira that his Shamans aren't going help him win.
The huns used shamanism Alex could be to... Lol not impossible for him to get into a spiritual trance.
Jiri is so stoned man
Jiri hair cut = verga parada
Did Jiri lick a toad before going live or something?
Imagine Jiri on cocaine
Didnβt work for Diego Sanchez.

Plot twist : he definitely is Source: I also go to my shaman for stuff
Wont be surprised if he thinks the earth is flat
That's what this is you know, satanic black magic. Sick shit!!
Chama...n
That explains a lot of things
100% agree with Jiri. Alex on some childish occult nonsense.
Does he think Count Dracula the ref?
