That was such an electric fight, amazing from start to finish. I have to say I was a little disappointed that Glover kind of screwed it all up in the last 30 seconds but I don't think most people thought he was going to make it that far. According to the scorecards Glover would have won on points even if they gave Jiri round 5.
I think Jiri will make for a great champion though but he better work a lot harder on his ground game because Glover kind of exposed some weaknesses there.
I can only agree with everything you said here! Very good summary. Jiri definitely needs to improve his ground game because in UFC, he cannot rely on shooting everyone down with his crazy hits (like that epic spinning elbow against Reyes :D)
But on the other hand, that´s his signature (and very attractive) fight style that fans love him for :)
I believe i saw him go for that move as well as several other unusual elbow attacks at several points in the fight. If he connects with any of those, it is going to be lights out for anyone in the division. Your face simply can't endure that level of punishment. :P
