Tracing Jiri's Path to 208 lbs.: Historical Evidence for UFC 311
As a huge fan of Jiri Prochazka, I've tracked his career from Japan to the U.S., and did pay particular attention to his weight management throughout his fights. While some have mentioned what Jiri weighed during his Rizin career, let's focus on UFC 275 against Glover: Fight Week Insights: Pre Water Cut: Approximately 216 lbs. Evidence: In UFC 275's Embedded, Jiri is shown stepping onto a scale wearing a tracksuit AND shoes showing a weight of around 97.x kg (which is around 216 lbs). Interestingly, this scene was later removed from the Embedded series, possibly due to production decisions to omit such details. Official Weigh-In: Recorded Weight: 205 lbs. Source: Weigh-in show on YouTube at 1:16:30 Jiri is interviewed by DC and Bisping Jiri’s Comments: He mentions reducing his walk-around weight from about 220 to between 216-218 lbs for a smoother cut. Daniel Cormier noted Jiri's healthy appearance post-weigh-in, which was so different to Glover's completely sucked out/dehydrated look. When DC asks him how much he'll weigh in the Octagon Jiri tells him 214lbs. Post-Fight at UFC 276: Three Weeks Post-UFC 275: Jiri reported a weight of 220 lbs during a Q&A at UFC 276 promotional event with Brendan Fitzgerald. Summary: Jiri maintained a walk-around weight of 216-218 lbs off-season in 2022, reducing to 216lbs (with shoes and tracksuit on) during fight week, cutting to 205 lbs for weigh-in, and rehydrating to 214 lbs for the fight. UFC 311 Observation: Noticeable reduction in body fat for UFC 311, Jiri's weight in the Octagon was only 208 lbs, which is completely believable since it's only a 3% reduction in body weight vs. UFC 275 Interesting Comparison with Alex Pereira: Pereira weighed in at 185 lbs for his middleweight fight against Strickland, ballooning to 220 lbs a day after the fight For his fight against Jamahal Hill he rehydrated to 232 lbs. before stepping into the Octagon. Absolutely insane. submitted by /u/InclusivePhitness [link] [comments]
