Rewatch the full fight between Jiri Prochazka and Aleksandar Rakić ahead of Prochazka’s main event rematch against light …
hunted at 205 lb Yuri praza Rockit in Black praza in [Music] red and I like I like a little bit of the uh Edge from Yuri mad at Rocket was saying he’s not a samurai he had a great explanation for that though he never he said I never said that he said I just lived the life and when guys talk ultimately they have to fight that’s what makes MMA so special Rocket’s much more traditional in his approach with his techniques and his movement whereas Yuri is very unorthodox rockage looks huge he does he weighed 230 after the rehydration he fighting much more he’s got a little more intensity to him that’s one things with rock is at has kind of haunted him right some of his wins that were a bit slower he seemed a bit tenative like he was just trying to win and and not trying to finish good right hand by [Applause] [Music] rocket rocket realizing success to both legs early on well you saw Alex Pereira beat up the legs of Yu prashka make him make mistakes so if you’re rocket you definitely won’t employ that as your strategy look another yeah that left leg is already beat up look at the bruising on that left C every time we sit down with rockets he talks about how much he spars how much he likes to do it sparred hard three times a week this whole Camp shark tanks the last seven weeks that’s so crazy to think that every day he went into the gym there were four and five guys rotating beautiful low kick again to that Cal Rockets just really getting off in this first round quter almost celebrates every Lo but Yuri just looks almost disdainful like the ominous music as he walked into the Octagon the star down just never taking his eyes off rockage just like he has his mindset he’s not going to be denied there’s a lot of bruising on that cap though very bad bruising that one bad that one’s bad that one hurt bad limping on it and now he attacks the other one Yuri’s left leg is toast oh yeah told it’s real bad it’s real bad look at it trying to disguise it but he can’t move that’s what happened with with with Alex he got his leg beat up and then he started to Lunge and make mistakes Alex caught him with a left [Applause] hook what a start through half around for Rockit rocket looks Sensational and now some blood to the right of the right eye for praska as well with Rockit mentally he has to keep his Focus he can’t allow himself to get lured into these wild slug fests With Yuri great Point yeah that’s that’s a great point because that’s not what’s worked to this point what’s worked to this point is him following the game plan beating up the legs of praska like this like don’t lose the focus stay composed keep the technique sharp and keep dominating keep doing what got there it is again same one that same leg beat the other leg when he switches es make him make a choice make him have to fight you in a conventional stance good right hand by rocket acknowledged by prosa Yuri’s getting beat up yeah he is oh another right hand rockets look Sensational I’m I mean since Jimmy man we haven’t seen him look this good he’s won fights he’s been in very competitive fights but we’ve never seen him seem this sure especially against a former world champion yeah well he’s just married to the game I mean so clear in terms of his intention still only 32 despite the fact that he’s missed a lot of time but he’s got to stay on high alert though Yuri’s always dangerous and Rocket has his chin up in the air too he’s got to be careful about that it’ll be as he gets tired if he can’t get Yuri out of there starts to get tired he cannot make mistakes because while it seems as though he’s landed quite a few of his better shots land they both landed there that was yur’s first big moment let’s see what that does to Alexander he stung him he stung him Rockets TOS the flying knee but he at a big right hand a moment ago that’s why Yuri’s so dangerous oh upper cutter right hand follows up for Rocket but look at the way that look at the difference in the impact and the reaction from the shots [Applause] you said it earlier Joe Yuri almost seems dismissive of the power coming in just disdainful like he will not be denied all right we got a fight ladies and gentlemen we’ll be back to Vegas in 30 seconds after this word from draftking Sportsbook Alexander caught a great first round but Yuri had a moment and in that moment it looked like he might get him out of [Applause] there Rockets right back to work early round two trying to attack that lead leg forces a stance switch from praza but prasa can fight very well from either stands but there’s some look at there’s some bruising on the inside leg now high kick rocket needs to get back at it oh beautiful right hand by rockage great fight I might add yes it is I will NE like listen if Alexander Rockets fights like this I will never question him again because so many believe that this kid has potential to be one of the best in the world he’s shown that he can be he just haven’t crossed the hump yet but if he fights like this he’s a real problem for everybody in the division good right hand by Rockets nice behind that sneaky jab looked like maybe part of the elbow caught praska as well jab again from Rockit [Music] and you saw some movement issues there for prasa yeah prusa’s legs are toast I mean he’s he’s hiding it but you can see in the wobbliness of his movements well he doesn’t want to fight Southall you see his his Instinct keeps making him put that leg forward oh but he can’t he’s too afraid this is where he’s best he just like puts defense on the back burner yeah I mean he’s just looking for The Knockout at all costs I love Rocket’s willingness to engage under those terms man it always kind of puts me on the edge of my seat after watching him fight so well to start when Yuri explodes into him and he starts backing up with his chin up in the air oh oh my goodness fellas are going at it here under three to go round two Yuri is just waiting into danger Yuri is crazy a wild boy Yuri is a wild boy knee to the body by Rockit big left hand now Yuri seems intent to just drown him and oh big right hand he hurt him B Rockets nearly out on his feet oh my goodness pressure oh a big knee now Yuri proska oh Rocket lands now but then he SL down Yuri for the bo look what he’s got his arm completely turned behind his back oh my goodness rockage is in deep deep trouble this could be it he’s in a lot of trouble he’s trying to trap your oh big elbows from Pro now it that’s it oh my goodness he’s trying to he’s trying to get up but the that do it how about the rally tonight the Czech Republic here proos overing on Yuri Bros is an animal I mean he is an animal he is a Savage he just threw himself into the fire to land bombs he got his butt kicked and said not tonight you going to have to fight me if you want to beat me it ain’t going to be pretty and when it wasn’t pretty Yuri prashka he shine look at that right hand I mean the power is undeniable but it’s the mental strength right John it’s his ability to get through almost being one leg fighting in the wrong stance and him just exploding to Alexander Rockit landed that knee there and look at that he gets away the space allows rocket to fall and Yu he just jumps on him I mean what a fantastic performance by the former Champion ladies and gentlemen referee heran is call us off to this contest at 3 minutes 17 seconds of round number two declared the winner by TKO Jerry bosar [Applause]
