meanwhile i needa learn how to block my face with every punch.. i'm sorry, im an amateur and i'm just a fighter where im not willing to let anyone punch my face.. but i have to learn how to trade properly when theres a bigger gap even if it takes a punch to the face.
Joshua Haught he still made 500k, idk if he would have gotten more vs khabib usually they make 500k for a title fight maybe he would have gotten PPV points but idk
@mark d He said that once, after the first round where Tony didn't get beat up that badly yet, but the rest of the rounds he was saying just "looking beautuful Tony".
Same here, there was something really unsettling about seeing Tony get absolutely destroyed, maybe it's because were used to seeing him do that to other people so it's shocking to see the rolls reversed but it's also the way he reacted to those shots in the fourth and fifth round, it was like a dying animal not understanding what was happening to it but knowing it wasn't good. Best of luck to him though, i'm sure after a few months he'll be back.
Wasn't Bravo also sporadically shouting at him to attempt some crazy grappling move too? There was never even an attempt to take that fight to the ground
Julian Walker It was one of those fights that you feel really bad for the guy who lost but really happy for the guy who won at the same time. Before the fight I wanted Tony to win but after I was glad Justin won it the way he did he fought a hell of a fight.
@@radioactivepotato2068 its not that. Its him making sure to not say anything definitively to avoid offending one person or another, thats all he does now with everything. Has nothing to do with his stream of consciousness or some shit, its literally just deliberately straddling the middle.
Tony has one of the most diverse fighting arsenals and his corner never told him to mix it up or try something other than standing in the pocket and trading
They were too deep in prep for Khabib, so instead of doing a complete turnaround, they just kept it simple. Tony was landing volume on Justin early on, but nothing seemed to work as effectively as needed, and every shot Justin landed would've been enough to sleep any other lightweight. They just couldn't answer what Gaethje had to offer. In my opinion, this was a worse matchup for Tony in comparison to Khabib.
Yea he didn't give him any advice at all. Sad but true. Didn't tell him to pull guard. Tony is wild but not very smart on his feet. Eddie should've kept his mouth shut and told him to pull guard instead of being prideful
Both of you get your head outta your ass lol...what rogan is trying to say is....in an alternate bubble/multi verse, sure tony might win with a crowd. Nobody can say fo sho...but in our bubble/multiverse geatje is interim champ lol fuk n A...what do you want from rogan lol
@Will Will it sucks! But there is an arrow in the upper left corner at least on my phone for getting back to where you left off. If you press the X on the right side it is a complete exit. It still doesn't make it better it just prevents it from being the absolute worst.
@@That-Truck-Guy22 lmao same here. @Will Will, it does take you out of comments when you leave 1 thread, but when you open comments again it puts you where you left off.
What fascinated me was Tony's incredible chin because never did I imagine that he would absorb lots of Justin's hard punches yet remain on his feet till the last round
I was truly surprised that he didn't even fall from Justin's many punches, who is arguably the hardest pure power hitter in 155 . Yet I've seen Tony genuinely rocked by lesser punchers. It's insane . I hope Tony fully heals up and takes his time and only takes advantageous fights from here on out. Fck the UFC, he deserves better.
Gaethjes coach: "HEY LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME youre trying to kill the man in there! Take 10 percent off those punches. Focus on good clean shots ok!? DONT GET COCKY" EDDIE: BeAuTIful BoXiNg ToNy
Brian B got some reason when he comes in as an analyst during ppv’s I always thought he sounded like a goofball that didn’t know what he was talking about. Maybe it’s his voice.
@@ckalo7 Probably not a good decision by Tony to do that ceremonial weigh in a few weeks before the fight. Two cuts in a month had to have had an impact.
One of the most legendary win streaks in the UFC and the most anticipated MMA fight of all time died in an empty arena in an armpit area in Jacksonville, Florida. I'm heartbroken for Tony. Perfectly encapsulates my love/hate relationship with combat sports.
@@ErKa44 You are a fucking idiot. He was dominated by a WAY better fighter. If you are gonna be a legend you need to deal with all that is thrown to you (GSP)
His body said stop but his spirit wanted to keep fighting. The ultimate peak of will power. Tony is the kind of guy who would literally fight to death.
Trevor Wittman was giving Gaethje amazing advice in his corner, while Eddie Bravo was trying to convince Tony COVID-19 is a conspiracy in the other corner.
Reminded me of Ultimate Fighter Team Jaenjaecheck (spell?) vs Team Gadelha. JJ just screamed useless encouragement during the rounds ("you're doing it. More. Keep at it" blah blah blah) whereas Gadelha was giving concise useful instructions.
He said it to him after the third but tony didn't listen. Then he repeated it again in the 4th But you are right there was no conviction in the advice and I think that's a reflection on Tony's anility to take feedback
tntramzy12 ya the confusing thing is obviously Tony was getting pieces up on the feet, so why is his BJJ coach coming to him at the stool after the 3rd with that? It would’ve made sense if he was instructing him on how to get it to the ground in more than one sentence.
Yeah it was scary! I also think though he was shaking his head at herb telling him "No more". Like tony's a monster but you can only take so much damage and that last punch was only a jab (still had a lot of power). How many more of those could he have taken to a broken orbital bone?
He's only human, he's gonna reach that point where the pain becomes too much to take. Broken orbital bone and who knows what else just getting punched over and over. Reminded me of MacDonald vs Lawler 2, when Rory just lays down after getting punched in his broken nose too many times.
Yea Jon Jones tweated out stop this shit like a minute before it got stopped. Sometimes being KO'd is actually less damaging than not getting KO'd bc he's just continuously getting concussive blows to the head over and over and he thought they weren't hurting him bc that's Tony, but you saw when his leg gave out it doesn't matter how tough you are man you gotta be smart. I've seen ppl get hit like that their leg gave out and 5 years later they are still walking with a limp.
I was thinking that, but Justin's a wrestler as well, he just never uses it, kinda like yoel he can hold you down and win but chooses to punch people out.
@@teyo8618 yeah his limbs are perfect for choking people out, but then it was also short notice so I'm guessing he had more of a sprawl and brawl plan for khabib. Love to see a rematch where his team has a better gameplan.
Tony's still the man. Gaethe had an excellent gameplan and I think Tony was off just slightly I'd love to see them run it back one day if it makes sense
FraserAllDay idk about that. Tony has a VERY offensive ground game. And he still shits on khabib on the feet. I don’t think this fight took away from the idea that tony could beat khabib, because khabib isn’t the striker that gaethe or tony is. Also, khabib can’t wrestle in the middle of the octagon, and tony rarely backs up
People are trophy chasers. Always sucking the dick of the champion. All these people talking mad shit about tony are the same ones who were making “Tony the type of guy” jokes before his loss to Justin
Both fighters were amazing. They reminded us that warriors still exist. Congratulations to Justin Geathje on the win, he earned it. Tony is and has been my favorite fighter since he asked "Where's your kid at?" on UF. Being said, JG showed us how tough he really is. Look at the post-TonyFerg faces and the amount of damage he produces. JG's understanding of space and angles create his exceptional hand game.
He also shouldn’t have come out and fought like trash either. Love the excuse squad for tony like justin didn’t also accept this matchup on short notice. This was one of the sweetest defeats ever.
My soul left my body when I found out about Tony losing. I'm not a big fan of him, but he should've been the main villain fighting Khabib. Now I feel bad for the guy, hope he returns stronger
It was a great fight, justin was ON HIS GAME, but big love to Tony he's tougher than a dollar steak and I believe this loss will push him to come back better than ever, I'm a fan of the Boogie Man
Some people say Tony shouldn’t have accepted this fight... last time he did that VS Max Holloway, he lost his shot at Khabib and Poirier got the title shot. Maybe Dana would have done the same and give Conor or Gaethje a title shot vs Khabib!
Conor doesn't deserve another title shot yet I'll be completely disappointed if he gets one before Gaethje or Ferguson he should have to fight Ferguson at the very least before that happens
Was great advice. Tony should have listened to it when it was given to him. Not two rounds later when he was already dead in the water. Its tonys unpredictable bjj mix ups that kept him unbeaten not his shitty striking skills.
Dr BaconLegs Eddie told him to do it after the 3rd round and he tried it in the 4th. You the dumb ass. In any round it isn’t good advice to try a irmani roll on a national wrestling champ lol. Loser shit only
Nat Rfc he was watching the fight, I mean come on dude you guys must be real casuals Tony Ferguson fights THE SAME WAY every single fight(except no ground game) he gets beat the hell up and is so tough he just dishes it back, he was saying beautiful job cause he was doing a beautiful job. I tel you what you get in that ring with Justin and see if your ass don’t get dusted by the first haymaker he hit tony with. 2 real warriors went in and one came out
That’s the problem with reading comments before watching the video, now I couldn’t ‘’unhear’’ him say words with ‘’just’’ in them and it drove me nuts 😂😂
"Do you think there was a chance?" "No, not at all. Well possibly, it's hard to say but I doubt it, but you really never will know cause it's hard to say y'know? I don't know, what do you think?"
Lol he said "no, no I don't think so, well maybe, but I don't think so, but it's possible." In other words "it's 100% entirely possible if Tony would of ate elk and did DMT he could of won but that would of been preposterous, so Justin won."
The fight DEFINITELY would have been different with a crowd. Fighters literally FEED off of the crowd. Especially Justin. Justin fought the most technical fight of his entire career because there wasn't a crowd there to make him want to go to war and just stand toe to toe not blocking any shots, without a crowd Justin was able to clear his mind completely. Tony also would have possibly gotten a 2nd wind with the crowd cheering him on. This fight surely would have been different, possibly the same victor but it wouldn't have looked the same.
Cant wait until eddie is back on the podcast and Joe grills him Joe - "Why did you tell Tony beautiful boxing at the end of round 3" Eddie - *LOOK INTO IT*
I feel like the lack of a crowd allowed Justin to focus the way he did, he was on a different level, every punch went where he wanted when he wanted.Edit- Justin just talked about this point in joes new podcast so for those of you that argued against me you can go ahead and scckk it 😂
Even without the crowd his coach had to calm him down and tell him to stay focused. Who knows really. Overall it's just better with a live audience. Spectacle is meant to be performed in front of a crowd.
also i feel like if the crowd was there when justin hurt tony the crowd would have gone wild, and that might have gave justin a rush of adrenaline and he might have tried to finish the fight which wasn’t his game plan
I dont think he would have finished him, he got caught and dropped but hes got a hell of a chin as well and he recovers very quickly. Hes also dangerous with the hooks even when someone is trying to finsish him. So no i dont think it would have mattered but thats just me.
Parental Advisory a champion isn’t a champion because of how many fights they win they become champions because know when to be humble and analyze themselves and try to improve the guy talks and acts like a cocky idiot and hasn’t improved in prob 5 years. I rather lose and become better which is what gaethje did then win and never improve
I watched it once, i cant bring myself to watch it again, my heart was breaking for 25 mins especially rd 4 and 5. 12 fight win streak and never got to fight khabib, didnt even need to accept this fight with justin, credit to Justin it was the perfect plan, however he will lose to khabib the same way Dustin and Conor did. I still think Ferguson is the toughest test for Khabib he's the only one that can catch Khabib on the ground, no one else can. Side note - Can someone tell Francis's corner men to carry an empty coffin on there shoulders during his walkout in advance plz.
@Average Mo Agreed and Justin doesn't just do stand up, he's also a very accomplished wrestler. If he can get Khabib to stand, then Khabib is going to sleep.
Counting Justin out at this point is dumb as fuck. Many knowledgeable people were saying even before that Justin could be Khabib's biggest nightmare but, because of his fighting style, could ultimately become one of those cases of a guy who could beat the champ but not beat the top guys to get to that spot. Justin could DEFINITELY beat Khabib. Especially now that he's actually being tactical about his striking. He has the wrestling ability to keep the fight standing and he is superior when it comes to both striking technique and knockout power. There are no reasonable arguments that can sustain the notion that Khabib will undoubtedly beat him.
One thing that isn't mentioned, is that without the crowd you miss an element that can effect fighters. The pressure the moment of a crowd is what makes it different than just two guys in a gym. Also the lack of crowd allowed the fighters to hear there corners and even the announcers for advice. With the one fighter even crediting DC for the kick check advice which changed that fight.
Stfu tony had a choicehe chose to fight gaethje he coulda sit out. He chose to fight gaethje-a striker. All that i prepared for a grappeler shit is just bs
Do you see that this is obvious set up? Gaethje has same manager as Khabib's. It's all about saving his as from Tony. Is he that scary, could you just fight?
Павел Коровин shut up you idiot there was no set up, all the blame lies with Tony for not waiting a few extra months, he agreed to the fight no one forced him into it
@@taylor099c8 I'm not arguing with you on this one, m8. He should not have agreed on kebab's manager's set up fight. But it doesn't mean there is no set up. I don't mean that fight was a work or fake, no, i mean that this was planned: there are such thing as uncomfortable opponent. Kebab was one for Konor, it just doesn't work, Gaethje is uncomfortable for Tony as fighter in stance who doesn't like to go down with graplings. It can be counted through.
if you are confused by the uk gov then you are stupid. its quite clear. the media and newspapers are all saying its confusing but normal people are not confused.
Look at gsp. Even when considered the goat he's always trying to learn and become better, his flaws become his biggest strengths. Tony just gets fed praise and compliments. He needs actual criticism if he wants to become the best.
@@Kopbsirgen yes they are the same cowards. Gsp was scared of Anderson Silva and khabib is scared of Ferguson. I can't believe you guys like these kind of coward fighters unbelievable 😂
Stfu tony had a choicehe chose to fight gaethje he coulda sit out. He chose to fight gaethje-a striker. All that i prepared for a grappeler shit is just bs
Eddie is 1/2 impressive and 1/2 ridiculous AF. His conspiracy theories and ignorance in some areas are sad. No surprise that after all the bravado and bad decision making that Tony lost.
Regardless of Bravo’s “advice” or lack thereof, I don’t think there were words or adjustments that would’ve changed Saturday’s outcome. It wasn’t Tony taking risky moves or decisions, more-so Gaethje was throwing extremely accurate and powerful combo’s/follow-ups and his defense and head movement improved 10x. Tony has so much heart and it was weird to see him on the other side it (except for that nasty uppercut) but nothing but respect and credit goes to Gaethje, he genuinely deserves it.
Earned Karma FINALLY. Someone speaking some sense. I am sick of these people saying it was just Tony’s lack of preparation and execution that lost him the fight. No. Gaethje is just better and beats Tony 9/10
Troy d Troy d Agreed. Majority of people have too much bias to one side before a fight even starts, let alone afterwards. Tony’s a warrior and with his style, had some damage over the years, def takes It toll. JG has knockout power, so goes to show how much heart Tony still has, after so many clean shots landed, however Gaethje on Saturday was clearly on another level and the much better fighter.
People do realize Eddie is a bjj coach right? Which is why his "Great boxing" comment was hilarious but others seem to be expecting Eddie to have given Tony coaching thats irrelevant to bjj...Its not as if Tony was even trying to take Justin down where bjj would be relevant. Which is why Eddie told Tony to try a Imanari roll.
@Dill Pickle Khabib didn't rob anyone you numpty head. There's a reason he isn't being stripped of his belt. Because when the Russian govt, you know the guys who made the fucking kgb, tells you not to leave the borders, you don't leave the fucking borders unless you want some real bad shit coming your way.
Tony deserves respect for taking on a killer like Justin. if you remember when he passed up a previous interim title with Dustin and the winner of that got khabib. He didn’t want to have that happen again, It’s the fight game.
Yup, that’s the main reason I don’t feel bad, his nuts got too big for his britches. Should have waited for the big fight, plus he had to cut weight twice in a month.
Jacob G yeah but he didn’t have to take this fight. Dana had him and Khabib set for later this year guaranteed. Tony didn’t feel like waiting and he assumed he would win and fight Khabib later anyways, and Justin would have fought Conor.
@@arkman2237 so your position is that Tony prepared for a specific fight and Justin just trained normally. Then, they both had the same amount of time to prepare for each other and Tony was somehow worse off? Have you had training camps?
Change of opponent was announced April 6th which gave Ferguson over a month to prepare, not a 'few weeks'. Bullshit excuses, Ferguson got clubbed like a baby seal.
That fifth round when Tony was done and he wasnt accepting it and was shaking his head to get back in to the fight. That broke my heart.. Im big fan on Tony and that fight was tough to watch.
He was getting brain seizure or something in the beggining. His head started twitching from the immense brain trauma then he shook his head to not fall asleep.
@Hugh Ropp you are clearly dumb, dude said Tony didnt make excuses but he did it immediately after the fight. I didnt say that is not a good excuse, I just said he did make them...
Bc Tony doesn't get out classed like that. Tony was off and Justin was taking the opportunity seriously...plus he has good rapport with his coach. Eddie Bravo was brought in for Khabib. He is. It a good coach. Just a great martial artist. He is a big part of Tony's down fall. The result of Tony Khabib would be similar I believe bc Bravo is just not good at this side of the game. I feel bc Justin was given this chance and took Tony's chance that he should have been given a chance to win it back and face Khabib. I mean I saw that Tony wasn't the same that night as his usual self
I feel bad for Tony cause he's got more to lose. Then again his pride always wants to fight the elites of the division, every time his bout with Khabib gets cancelled. Khabib meanwhile rests. Then gets to fight whoever is available at that time. Let's just hope this fight between Justin pulls through.
He didn't train to initiate a take down. He was training on how to defend himself WHEN he's taken down. Which would eventually happen if he had fought Khabib.
justin knew it would be cancelled and wanted in before the fight was cancelled and tony had to train to fight 2 wildly different people on short notice
Bronze Bomber D. Wilder That’s not the entire story though. Its just as Joe said, Justin always fights the same and didn’t have to change much for Tony. Tony had been training since November for a fighter who has very strong grappling and average striking. He was at much more of a disadvantage than Justin and it showed. He didnt look nearly as good as he usually does on his feet.
@@team3gaming749 ultimately they had the same amount of time to prepare for one another's style, with tony having the physical edge in terms of readiness. Plus Justin beat sooo bad that I doubt Tony could have ever done anything about it in terms of being the lesser striker...
Tony is a outstanding warrior, the charachter that he showed us will live forever in my mind, never take a back step and fight like a champion, i am sure that he will be back, and proove once again that he is the best! but i give credit to justin and especially to trevor witman they did great job, justin fought smart, agressive and calculated fight, very impressive! but we have also mention that two weightcuts in a short period of time and preparetion for khabib played big role in that fight!
@@lashakutateladze5459 tony is a legend. He surely wasn't in form like previous ones i don't know the reason. Not having the crowd maybe is another reason for the loss. Cham shit only
It’s like people forgot that Tony was up 2-0 after the second round🤦♂️😭he had Justin hurt after the uppercut and another 30 seconds would’ve ended that fight🤷♂️ props to Justin for adjusting and ultimately finishing Tony tho
@@ryansalyer2639 You made me rewatch the fight and I would advise you to do the same. Ferguson received more punishment than Gaethje in every single round. The first round was kind of close but even the uppercut at the end of round 2 didn't win him that round. No way he was up 2-0.
It's a little different because justin had no opponent and tony was training for khabib and justin always does stand up while tony does ground and standup
True, but Justin is already a great grappler. He didn't need to make that much of an adjustment compared to Tony. Since Justin's team already knew that Tony has been training for one of the best grapplers in the business, they decided to take a calculated risk, and let Justin continue training with one of best striking coaches. That risked paid off as we saw the result. Well played to Justin and his team.
Exactly!!! If Tony is a world class fighter (and he is) his training is comprehensive and only 3-4 months might be opponent specific. Same for Gaethje. And when the Nurmagomedov fight got cancelled and Gaethje got booked, both fighters had the same amount of time to make adjustments. The only argument that makes sense is that Tony had too long of a fight camp and 2 weight cuts, but if he felt out of sorts... you dont take the fight. In the end, no excuses, Gaethje's was just the dominant fight that night.
Hats off to G’s coach, amazing improvement in his game with every fight. Tony is sick killer and being able to beat him like that takes an immense amount of brilliance in strategy and implementation. Respect to G and his team.
The whole excuse of "training for Khabib" is such bullshit. Tony had a full camp and was in great shape. It was his arrogance to think he could stand up and strike with Justin. Tony never attempted a takedown. Yeah opponents change. So you sit down with your team and you watch some film and you adjust your game plan. You're not learning how to fight in 3 months. Why didn't Tony shoot for a takedown or pin Justin to the cage and try to trip him? It's not because he was terrified that he wouldn't get the takedown, it was because he expected to do to Justin what he did to everyone else. Tony had no respect for Justin's power and too much confidence in his own striking. A smarter gameplan would have been to get the fight to the ground and use his submissions. Instead, Tony tried to stand and bang with a knockout artist.
It's not that Tony had no respect for Justin's power... Tony gets hit by everyone, in every fight. It was only a matter of time before he got knocked out, pretty much all his opponents have rocked or dropped him. Pettis, Kevin Lee, Vannata... the list goes on. Tony is a beast but it seems there is something wrong with his standup approach, he just gets hit way too much. His striking approach against Gaetche was exactly the same as his approach to every other opponent. As per the grappling issue, he doesn't really take people down. I don't think he could straight take Gaetche down but I agree he should've at least tried, would've opened up the possibility for some sneaky submissions.
I cannot be the only one that noticed that El Cucuy wasn't 100% himself that night. Props to Gaethje but I don't think El Cucuy was firing on all cylinders. In any case, now I wanna see Gaethje vs Khabib. McGregor should stop his stupid little twitter rants and call out El Cucuy. We want that card. Khabib vs Gaethje as the main event and Tony Ferguson vs McGregor as the co-main. Fireworks!
Y'all say that but he was just in the octagon with a different kind of beast. Gaethjes gameplan has always been to come in playing peekaboo boxing. But last few fights, he has settled down and took advantage of his power shots. Tony's plan is basically same thing. Take a beating until he breaks you and then he pounces. But Gaethje hits to hard for that gameplan
@@jadinkosmma5459 His stand up is very good but not always on point .. He got finished by Eddie and Dustin and you already know that Conor had no Problem with them
Don’t think that was “one of the greatest fights of all time”...usually that means it’s a close back and forth. Gaethje pretty much just beat him up the whole fight
@@brandonamezquita4501 but tony's heart and will are what make it unreal. Tony was shaking and clearly rocked but his two feet were still on the ground.
This fight was in my eyes pretty boring. The new justin gaethje is nothing like the killer he used to be and tony looked slow in that fight. How the f is this one of the greatest fights joe rogan?!
NASTYVIDS he isn’t a coach idiot. Tony is his own coach and his cornerman are close friends/training partners. He literally trains with 5 people in a garage. He doesn’t have a real coach.
I think another major factor was the timeline in regards to Tony's training. He set everything up to peak in April. The fight gets canceled and then he has to try and extend that peak out another month. Trying to hold on to that fitness is tough and you could tell that tough as he was, he wasn't 100% as far as conditioning is concerned.
When Tony pulled out Khabib had to make adjustment in a week to fight Max and then Max pulled out so he made adjustment in just one day to fight Al.. Khabib is levels above other 155ers
Khawar Iqbal Yet Khabib does literally the same thing to every opponent he fights. Just like Justin. They do the same thing no matter who they are fighting. Justin will actually have to train for Khabib thats the difference tho. As for his camps against anybody else? Not so much.
@@mohamedsheikh206 no, he didn't use much elbows, barely defended shots in the later rounds, he just kept showing his face to justin and didn't go for submissions n even dana said "Tony looked off tonight"
@@mohamedsheikh206 I disagree in a lot of ways. Tony almost always scrambles after being rocked and it usually plays in his favor. He did no roll attempts (Minus the last minute bs roll). Didn't try anything outside of the box or unpredictable at all. Even putting aside the fact he was waiting for Justin to gas, he still didn't adapt and shake things up like he usually does. He didn't seem quick on his feet. Didn't capitalize on his leg swipe. In some ways yes he did fight like he usually does and Justin's strategy was a large factor but there's a whole other side to Tony's game we never saw.
I just hope tony is ok mentally, he took a lot of damage and I know he was ready to die in there. I hope his loved ones are supporting him and he stays strong.
@B Jayme I WOULD GRAB TONY HARD AND SNIFF HIM. THE HE WOULD CRY AND LAY HIS HEAD ON MY SHOULDER AND TELL ME IM HIS BEST FRIEND. Does human compassion make you uncomfortable? Or are you so in closet gay that hugging another man makes you uncomfortable?
The Avg Daily Smoker i agree. i think the reason why he didn’t goto ground because Tony has never lost a striking match. He should’ve been more well rounded and fight in all levels... he just did not look himself honestly
That's not how it works, you don't go into a fight with someone like Khabib with the plan of shooting takedowns, you go in with the plan of stuffing takedowns. Defensive wrestling and offensive wrestling are not the same thing.
I would've wanted to see that as well. What's stopping him from pulling a khabib and trying to force the fight to the ground every round? He's got the cardio for it. He can take hits getting close.
Joe, you forgot the most important reason Tony almost killed himself. Doing a double weight cut is insane and only a person like Tony will do such a thing. You can ask any fighter in wrestling, boxing and UFC and they will tell you they would never do such a thing. I will like to see a rematch with both fighters having a complete camp and preparation for each other.
Its not like he got down to weight two times, the original date was moved well before the fight and the serious weight cutting and water depletion never took place
Most wrestlers who are wrestling cut weight every wk it’s not that crazy of a thing especially if you are use to cutting weight and have it down to where not to hard to do
fabrizzio monsalve id cut at least ten pounds every wk and when you weigh 120 that’s a lot and I knew wrestlers who did more I’m guessing you didn’t wrestle
Thats why I still believe Tony can beat Khabib even after being defeated by Justin. If Justing didnt put him in the ground then Khabib wont as well. Tony has more chance because his superior striking skills againts Khabib. However I think if Justing lets Khabib get a hold of him he is done.
That fight would have definitely been different with a crowd. Tony feeds off the audience. Also the double weight cut and Change of opponents, mixed with a fuckall corner and a well prepared Gaethje. There were many variables to his loss.
@@DavidFoundCo If you care to read I said, Justin was well prepared. Excuses is one thing, giving legit reasons or spculating the reasons for loss is something else. Tell me what did I say wrong here?
@@creativeschmuck8132 change of opponent was Tony's choice, if he didn't think he could prepare in time he could have backed out. He always has that corner, no excuse there. Double weight cut is debatable, everyone talks about how "inhuman" he is so it would stand to reason because he is so super, the weight cuts shouldn't be a problem; however, the truth is, cutting weight the way UFC fighters do always effects performance.
@@joshuahaught4812 Your opinion and that is cool. What half the people think is, I'm trying to make "excuses" for his loss. All I am saying is these things together affected the fight, does not mean if some of them were corrected Tony would have won that night. For all we know Justin might have whooped him more. When someone like Tony loses the way he did, you always have to see the reasons for it. It takes me back to Cain vs Werdum in Mexico. Maybe Werdum still might have beaten him if Cain would have been smart about his camp, but we know that something went terribly wrong because that is not the usual Cain. Just saying, Tony's loss might have more to do with, than just Gaethje being a superior fighter.
His all american status basically garruntees HE dictates where the fight takes place, and since he wants to avoid the ground, they just wont go to the ground period. No one will take him down...no one apart from khabib maybe.
He WAS a wrestler as a kid, then when he found MMA he realized he has a good chin. And in the UFC, that chin has been his weapon. I did not like to watch Gaethje fighting in the UFC because of that, he was taking head shots and losing being a functional human in the future like dollar bills fly out of your hands at a strip club. But against Ferguson he looked leaner and like a smarter fighter. I hope he continues with that, I would love to see how New Gaethje will do. I do not want to see how old Gaethje will end up 10 or 20 years from now when all those head strikes creep up on him.
@@EspenX yeah he's actually learnt and improved so much after those two losses to poirier and alvarez. Plus up until recently he's mostly been fighting blind, he said he had eye surgery and is now getting used to fighting with improved vision. Not that he was actually blind, he just had really poor vision so would use touch to judge range lol
Justin is learning that he does not have to block every punch with his face which is bad news for the division.
His headmovement and defense was on point and has been for the last couple of fights. Very impressive stuff.
meanwhile i needa learn how to block my face with every punch.. i'm sorry, im an amateur and i'm just a fighter where im not willing to let anyone punch my face.. but i have to learn how to trade properly when theres a bigger gap even if it takes a punch to the face.
Dude yes. Perfectly said lol
True, it's sad that Tony didn't learn that yet. Maybe he did now though.
he improved a lot in this last 2 years, it's impressive to see that.
Tony screwed Tony. He should not have accepted any fight other than the Khabib matchup.

Tony getting his face lit up. Bravo between rounds: “beautiful boxing”
MuyBruno this actually made me laugh out loud literally I’m crying 😭
MuyBruno 😭😭
Lmao right
He didn't said that, he said just "looking beautiful".
@mark d He said that once, after the first round where Tony didn't get beat up that badly yet, but the rest of the rounds he was saying just "looking beautuful Tony".
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy that never skips TH-cam ads to condition his patience
thats not fun anymore
In contrary to Fraqz’s opinion, I thought this comment was hilarious
🤣🤣
Tony the type of guy to get beat the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck up
I felt so bad for tony, can’t be the only one...
Why did you ?
Same here, there was something really unsettling about seeing Tony get absolutely destroyed, maybe it's because were used to seeing him do that to other people so it's shocking to see the rolls reversed but it's also the way he reacted to those shots in the fourth and fifth round, it was like a dying animal not understanding what was happening to it but knowing it wasn't good. Best of luck to him though, i'm sure after a few months he'll be back.
My name is Abdo trains for years for khabib, loses along the way dosent get to fight him no more

What about Eddie bravo telling him his boxing was beautiful between rounds, the difference in the corners was staggering
Salter I like Eddie but he should stick to coaching bjj
Lol, I was shocked when I heard that. Did they not see how the damn fight was going? It was like night and day between the two corners....
Exactly
Wasn't Bravo also sporadically shouting at him to attempt some crazy grappling move too? There was never even an attempt to take that fight to the ground
Well first two rounds he was good. He almost took Justin out twice. But almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades as we know.
Trevor Whitman- take 10 percent off those punches you’re trying to kill him

Maybe bc he hits hard idk

Perfectly described. That was tough to watch.
Julian Walker It was one of those fights that you feel really bad for the guy who lost but really happy for the guy who won at the same time. Before the fight I wanted Tony to win but after I was glad Justin won it the way he did he fought a hell of a fight.

Lmaooooo even though I'm sad about it. This cracked me up
Tony has one of the most diverse fighting arsenals and his corner never told him to mix it up or try something other than standing in the pocket and trading
Having a variegate arsenal and being able to put it in play are two very different things. Tony wasn't able to make anything to work with Justin.
olisk the thing is he didn’t try to until he was already exhausted
@@pinatatomata2221 That's true. Just once he tried to look for a takedown. In the 5th. When he was already a deadman walking...
Wrong. Eddie Bravo did say “Man you’re all cut up, maybe try an iminari roll or something” ahhahahah
They were too deep in prep for Khabib, so instead of doing a complete turnaround, they just kept it simple. Tony was landing volume on Justin early on, but nothing seemed to work as effectively as needed, and every shot Justin landed would've been enough to sleep any other lightweight. They just couldn't answer what Gaethje had to offer. In my opinion, this was a worse matchup for Tony in comparison to Khabib.
Justin realized it’s easier to win when you don’t let people punch you in the face.
Justin 2.0 is scary for lightweight , he has a legit chance against Khabib. Everyone else will fall short.
metalheadblues Khabib is a bad matchup for Justin and he will lose

What fascinated me was Tony's incredible chin because never did I imagine that he would absorb lots of Justin's hard punches yet remain on his feet till the last round
Yeah, It's incredible. Even Justin has that durability as well. He took Tony's upper cut in the end of the 2nd round and survived.
@@carl8790 but he fell. If wasn't the bell I think tony could knock him out.
I was truly surprised that he didn't even fall from Justin's many punches, who is arguably the hardest pure power hitter in 155 . Yet I've seen Tony genuinely rocked by lesser punchers. It's insane . I hope Tony fully heals up and takes his time and only takes advantageous fights from here on out. Fck the UFC, he deserves better.
@@carl8790 if Tony had 20 more seconds, he would've TKOd Justin. The bell saved Justin. All props to him though, he fought brilliantly.

Tony going into Round 5.
Eddie Bravo: "Idk, MaYbE tRy An ImInArI rOlL?"
He said it to him after the third but tony didn't listen. Then he repeated it again in the 4th
But you are right there was no conviction in the advice and I think that's a reflection on Tony's anility to take feedback
Yeah he should start with that like againt Barboza
We’re all just as qualified as Eddie to be corner men 😂 sad but true
Jody Breeze except if you roll with him he’ll probably choke you out lol
tntramzy12 ya the confusing thing is obviously Tony was getting pieces up on the feet, so why is his BJJ coach coming to him at the stool after the 3rd with that? It would’ve made sense if he was instructing him on how to get it to the ground in more than one sentence.
The way Tony was behaving when he got stopped was way scarier than any KO. Freaked me out.
yeah lol, he's still El Cucuy
Yeah it was scary! I also think though he was shaking his head at herb telling him "No more". Like tony's a monster but you can only take so much damage and that last punch was only a jab (still had a lot of power). How many more of those could he have taken to a broken orbital bone?
He couldn't do anything, body was done
He's only human, he's gonna reach that point where the pain becomes too much to take. Broken orbital bone and who knows what else just getting punched over and over. Reminded me of MacDonald vs Lawler 2, when Rory just lays down after getting punched in his broken nose too many times.
Yea Jon Jones tweated out stop this shit like a minute before it got stopped. Sometimes being KO'd is actually less damaging than not getting KO'd bc he's just continuously getting concussive blows to the head over and over and he thought they weren't hurting him bc that's Tony, but you saw when his leg gave out it doesn't matter how tough you are man you gotta be smart. I've seen ppl get hit like that their leg gave out and 5 years later they are still walking with a limp.
I just don’t get why Ferguson never tried to take Justin down.
I was thinking that, but Justin's a wrestler as well, he just never uses it, kinda like yoel he can hold you down and win but chooses to punch people out.
@@kkkkkkkkkkkkkoooooll yes, but nobody has beaten Ferguson's ground game. That's his specialty.
Justin is a great wrestler that’s why
@@teyo8618 yeah his limbs are perfect for choking people out, but then it was also short notice so I'm guessing he had more of a sprawl and brawl plan for khabib. Love to see a rematch where his team has a better gameplan.
He didn't throw any of his crazy elbows too. He honestly seemed way off in this fight.
Tony Ferguson is still my favorite fighter. A loss didn’t change how much of a beast I think he is. At least now, Tony’s true fans stay.
Tony's still the man. Gaethe had an excellent gameplan and I think Tony was off just slightly I'd love to see them run it back one day if it makes sense
Word
FraserAllDay idk about that. Tony has a VERY offensive ground game. And he still shits on khabib on the feet. I don’t think this fight took away from the idea that tony could beat khabib, because khabib isn’t the striker that gaethe or tony is. Also, khabib can’t wrestle in the middle of the octagon, and tony rarely backs up
@@TTMPLMKR haters gonna hate and ainters gonna ain't
Tony's loss hurts, but the Tony vs Khabib not happening hurts more. Years of waiting prolonged yet again.

The fight DEFINITELY would have been different with a crowd. Fighters literally FEED off of the crowd. Especially Justin. Justin fought the most technical fight of his entire career because there wasn't a crowd there to make him want to go to war and just stand toe to toe not blocking any shots, without a crowd Justin was able to clear his mind completely. Tony also would have possibly gotten a 2nd wind with the crowd cheering him on. This fight surely would have been different, possibly the same victor but it wouldn't have looked the same.

Gaethjes corner was generally on point the entire night and justin followed every single advice they gave him. Great teamwork
you're just not funny. Sad, alone and not funny.
So where's the joke at? I think I missed it
Why would Trump call him "doing beautiful, just beautiful'? I don't get it?!
I feel like the lack of a crowd allowed Justin to focus the way he did, he was on a different level, every punch went where he wanted when he wanted.Edit- Justin just talked about this point in joes new podcast so for those of you that argued against me you can go ahead and scckk it 😂
Even without the crowd his coach had to calm him down and tell him to stay focused. Who knows really. Overall it's just better with a live audience. Spectacle is meant to be performed in front of a crowd.
also i feel like if the crowd was there when justin hurt tony the crowd would have gone wild, and that might have gave justin a rush of adrenaline and he might have tried to finish the fight which wasn’t his game plan
I dont think he would have finished him, he got caught and dropped but hes got a hell of a chin as well and he recovers very quickly. Hes also dangerous with the hooks even when someone is trying to finsish him. So no i dont think it would have mattered but thats just me.

I watched it once, i cant bring myself to watch it again, my heart was breaking for 25 mins especially rd 4 and 5. 12 fight win streak and never got to fight khabib, didnt even need to accept this fight with justin, credit to Justin it was the perfect plan, however he will lose to khabib the same way Dustin and Conor did. I still think Ferguson is the toughest test for Khabib he's the only one that can catch Khabib on the ground, no one else can.
Side note - Can someone tell Francis's corner men to carry an empty coffin on there shoulders during his walkout in advance plz.
I can’t bring myself to watch it either.. am down €250 cos of it😂
@Average Mo Agreed and Justin doesn't just do stand up, he's also a very accomplished wrestler. If he can get Khabib to stand, then Khabib is going to sleep.
Same. I tried a couple times and had to shut it off in the 1st round. Justin was amazing.
Azad Alam Justin a high level wrestler. To say he’ll be dealt with by khabib like khabib did Dustin and conor, is stupid
Counting Justin out at this point is dumb as fuck. Many knowledgeable people were saying even before that Justin could be Khabib's biggest nightmare but, because of his fighting style, could ultimately become one of those cases of a guy who could beat the champ but not beat the top guys to get to that spot.
Justin could DEFINITELY beat Khabib. Especially now that he's actually being tactical about his striking.
He has the wrestling ability to keep the fight standing and he is superior when it comes to both striking technique and knockout power. There are no reasonable arguments that can sustain the notion that Khabib will undoubtedly beat him.

One thing that isn't mentioned, is that without the crowd you miss an element that can effect fighters. The pressure the moment of a crowd is what makes it different than just two guys in a gym. Also the lack of crowd allowed the fighters to hear there corners and even the announcers for advice. With the one fighter even crediting DC for the kick check advice which changed that fight.

if you are confused by the uk gov then you are stupid. its quite clear. the media and newspapers are all saying its confusing but normal people are not confused.
Look at gsp. Even when considered the goat he's always trying to learn and become better, his flaws become his biggest strengths. Tony just gets fed praise and compliments. He needs actual criticism if he wants to become the best.

He's always been a meme lmao
WOW you a a fucking scumbag

Eddie is 1/2 impressive and 1/2 ridiculous AF. His conspiracy theories and ignorance in some areas are sad. No surprise that after all the bravado and bad decision making that Tony lost.
He's on the podcast this weekend with brenda.
Regardless of Bravo’s “advice” or lack thereof, I don’t think there were words or adjustments that would’ve changed Saturday’s outcome. It wasn’t Tony taking risky moves or decisions, more-so Gaethje was throwing extremely accurate and powerful combo’s/follow-ups and his defense and head movement improved 10x. Tony has so much heart and it was weird to see him on the other side it (except for that nasty uppercut) but nothing but respect and credit goes to Gaethje, he genuinely deserves it.
Earned Karma FINALLY. Someone speaking some sense. I am sick of these people saying it was just Tony’s lack of preparation and execution that lost him the fight. No. Gaethje is just better and beats Tony 9/10
Justin prepared for Tony, and Tony prepared for Khabib. That simple.
Brandon Moore they equally had the same amount amount of time to prepare for each other....
Troy d Troy d Agreed. Majority of people have too much bias to one side before a fight even starts, let alone afterwards. Tony’s a warrior and with his style, had some damage over the years, def takes
It toll. JG has knockout power, so goes to show how much heart Tony still has, after so many clean shots landed, however Gaethje on Saturday was clearly on another level and the much better fighter.
People do realize Eddie is a bjj coach right? Which is why his "Great boxing" comment was hilarious but others seem to be expecting Eddie to have given Tony coaching thats irrelevant to bjj...Its not as if Tony was even trying to take Justin down where bjj would be relevant. Which is why Eddie told Tony to try a Imanari roll.
Tony's fault for even taking this fight. He could have just waited for Khabib no matter what.
@Dill Pickle Khabib didn't rob anyone you numpty head. There's a reason he isn't being stripped of his belt. Because when the Russian govt, you know the guys who made the fucking kgb, tells you not to leave the borders, you don't leave the fucking borders unless you want some real bad shit coming your way.
Tony deserves respect for taking on a killer like Justin. if you remember when he passed up a previous interim title with Dustin and the winner of that got khabib. He didn’t want to have that happen again, It’s the fight game.
Yup, that’s the main reason I don’t feel bad, his nuts got too big for his britches. Should have waited for the big fight, plus he had to cut weight twice in a month.
Jacob G yeah but he didn’t have to take this fight. Dana had him and Khabib set for later this year guaranteed. Tony didn’t feel like waiting and he assumed he would win and fight Khabib later anyways, and Justin would have fought Conor.
John Doe LOL!
I hope tony comes back stronger, I want to see him undisputed champ before he retires
He's never gonna come back stronger, he's 36 and worn out

He was preparing to defend against a grappler. That doesn't mean your trying to grapple with them.
Tony s take down not so good thou. N justin have good take down deffence
His game plan against Khabib was to get taken down and work his BJJ skills to look for submissions on his back. Tony rarely initiates takedowns.

@@arkman2237 so your position is that Tony prepared for a specific fight and Justin just trained normally. Then, they both had the same amount of time to prepare for each other and Tony was somehow worse off? Have you had training camps?
Change of opponent was announced April 6th which gave Ferguson over a month to prepare, not a 'few weeks'. Bullshit excuses, Ferguson got clubbed like a baby seal.
Bingo! Tony had 5 weeks! It's not like hes he has never been a striker before..
Justin doesn't change his style so it makes no difference to him 🤷🏾♂️
That fifth round when Tony was done and he wasnt accepting it and was shaking his head to get back in to the fight. That broke my heart.. Im big fan on Tony and that fight was tough to watch.
@Laoch Dude stfu, Tony doesn't have Conor levels of arrogance.
OP just mentioned it was hard to see a man willing to die in the cage.
He was getting brain seizure or something in the beggining. His head started twitching from the immense brain trauma then he shook his head to not fall asleep.

@@eastwaters4082 idk about that, he did tell a guy who had a son that was missing "Where's your son huh?!". lol
Tony didn’t make excuses so why is everyone else? IMO
yes he did, he said he was prepairing for khabib
IMO means in my opinion. You want to argue about an opinion? He was training for khabib so what is your point. ???
'Cause everyone could see he was slightly slower than usual. The pressure was there but wasnt as aggressive (maybe twas the gameplan)
@Hugh Ropp you are clearly dumb, dude said Tony didnt make excuses but he did it immediately after the fight. I didnt say that is not a good excuse, I just said he did make them...
Bc Tony doesn't get out classed like that. Tony was off and Justin was taking the opportunity seriously...plus he has good rapport with his coach. Eddie Bravo was brought in for Khabib. He is. It a good coach. Just a great martial artist.
He is a big part of Tony's down fall. The result of Tony Khabib would be similar I believe bc Bravo is just not good at this side of the game. I feel bc Justin was given this chance and took Tony's chance that he should have been given a chance to win it back and face Khabib.
I mean I saw that Tony wasn't the same that night as his usual self

I feel bad for Tony cause he's got more to lose. Then again his pride always wants to fight the elites of the division, every time his bout with Khabib gets cancelled. Khabib meanwhile rests. Then gets to fight whoever is available at that time. Let's just hope this fight between Justin pulls through.

@@djvibes3704
Okay so he was training to beat Khabib on his feet then right?
If you keep up with his fights he never really attempts takedowns so why would he do it now?
He didn't train to initiate a take down. He was training on how to defend himself WHEN he's taken down. Which would eventually happen if he had fought Khabib.

@@ackten2521 please dont tell me you honestly think Justin was in better shape or readiness for a 5 round fight...
Bronze Bomber D. Wilder That’s not the entire story though. Its just as Joe said, Justin always fights the same and didn’t have to change much for Tony. Tony had been training since November for a fighter who has very strong grappling and average striking. He was at much more of a disadvantage than Justin and it showed. He didnt look nearly as good as he usually does on his feet.
@@team3gaming749 ultimately they had the same amount of time to prepare for one another's style, with tony having the physical edge in terms of readiness. Plus Justin beat sooo bad that I doubt Tony could have ever done anything about it in terms of being the lesser striker...
Tony is a outstanding warrior, the charachter that he showed us will live forever in my mind, never take a back step and fight like a champion, i am sure that he will be back, and proove once again that he is the best! but i give credit to justin and especially to trevor witman they did great job, justin fought smart, agressive and calculated fight, very impressive! but we have also mention that two weightcuts in a short period of time and preparetion for khabib played big role in that fight!

Justin only had a few weeks to train/prepare for the fight as well.
It's a little different because justin had no opponent and tony was training for khabib and justin always does stand up while tony does ground and standup
True, but Justin is already a great grappler. He didn't need to make that much of an adjustment compared to Tony.
Since Justin's team already knew that Tony has been training for one of the best grapplers in the business, they decided to take a calculated risk, and let Justin continue training with one of best striking coaches.
That risked paid off as we saw the result. Well played to Justin and his team.
@@carl8790 You're confusing grappling with wrestling. Justin is a great wrestler, not grappler.
Justin was already training before the fight cancelled
Exactly!!! If Tony is a world class fighter (and he is) his training is comprehensive and only 3-4 months might be opponent specific. Same for Gaethje. And when the Nurmagomedov fight got cancelled and Gaethje got booked, both fighters had the same amount of time to make adjustments. The only argument that makes sense is that Tony had too long of a fight camp and 2 weight cuts, but if he felt out of sorts... you dont take the fight. In the end, no excuses, Gaethje's was just the dominant fight that night.
Hats off to G’s coach, amazing improvement in his game with every fight. Tony is sick killer and being able to beat him like that takes an immense amount of brilliance in strategy and implementation. Respect to G and his team.
The whole excuse of "training for Khabib" is such bullshit.
Tony had a full camp and was in great shape. It was his arrogance to think he could stand up and strike with Justin. Tony never attempted a takedown.
Yeah opponents change. So you sit down with your team and you watch some film and you adjust your game plan. You're not learning how to fight in 3 months. Why didn't Tony shoot for a takedown or pin Justin to the cage and try to trip him? It's not because he was terrified that he wouldn't get the takedown, it was because he expected to do to Justin what he did to everyone else.
Tony had no respect for Justin's power and too much confidence in his own striking. A smarter gameplan would have been to get the fight to the ground and use his submissions. Instead, Tony tried to stand and bang with a knockout artist.
It's not that Tony had no respect for Justin's power... Tony gets hit by everyone, in every fight. It was only a matter of time before he got knocked out, pretty much all his opponents have rocked or dropped him. Pettis, Kevin Lee, Vannata... the list goes on. Tony is a beast but it seems there is something wrong with his standup approach, he just gets hit way too much. His striking approach against Gaetche was exactly the same as his approach to every other opponent.
As per the grappling issue, he doesn't really take people down. I don't think he could straight take Gaetche down but I agree he should've at least tried, would've opened up the possibility for some sneaky submissions.

Id bet the house on gaethje
Saverio _ I think so too, but Gaethje is tougher/on a kind of win streak that Conor hasn't been on in years.
Not so sure, It would probably end if either of them landed clean.
I cannot be the only one that noticed that El Cucuy wasn't 100% himself that night.
Props to Gaethje but I don't think El Cucuy was firing on all cylinders. In any case, now I wanna see Gaethje vs Khabib. McGregor should stop his stupid little twitter rants and call out El Cucuy. We want that card. Khabib vs Gaethje as the main event and Tony Ferguson vs McGregor as the co-main. Fireworks!
Of course he wasn't himself.. he got punched in the face and quit in the end. McGregor would KO him stiff and make him twitch
Y'all say that but he was just in the octagon with a different kind of beast. Gaethjes gameplan has always been to come in playing peekaboo boxing. But last few fights, he has settled down and took advantage of his power shots. Tony's plan is basically same thing. Take a beating until he breaks you and then he pounces. But Gaethje hits to hard for that gameplan
dylan redinger yep. He looked like normal tony

Nelson King No Tony need at least 7 months to recover- he absorbed a lot of damage, and it will be difficult to recover completely..

He meant on paper, and he is right in that regard.
Hey Joe, how about the garbage advice Eddie was giving in between rounds ?
NASTYVIDS he isn’t a coach idiot. Tony is his own coach and his cornerman are close friends/training partners. He literally trains with 5 people in a garage. He doesn’t have a real coach.
"Head movement!"
That's why you're not supposed to have grappler/jiu jitsu people as your head coach.. look at Ortega when he fought Holloway.
@@bobjones5825 does seem like a lot of people haven't grasped this, Eddie is only his jiu jitsu coach he cant give give striking advice.
I think another major factor was the timeline in regards to Tony's training. He set everything up to peak in April. The fight gets canceled and then he has to try and extend that peak out another month. Trying to hold on to that fitness is tough and you could tell that tough as he was, he wasn't 100% as far as conditioning is concerned.
Gaethje and Mcgreggor would be an incredible fight to watch
Will Robertson not really mc tapper doesn’t deserve to fight him
When Tony pulled out Khabib had to make adjustment in a week to fight Max and then Max pulled out so he made adjustment in just one day to fight Al..
Khabib is levels above other 155ers
Khawar Iqbal Yet Khabib does literally the same thing to every opponent he fights. Just like Justin. They do the same thing no matter who they are fighting. Justin will actually have to train for Khabib thats the difference tho. As for his camps against anybody else? Not so much.

@@mohamedsheikh206 no, he didn't use much elbows, barely defended shots in the later rounds, he just kept showing his face to justin and didn't go for submissions n even dana said "Tony looked off tonight"
@@mohamedsheikh206 I disagree in a lot of ways. Tony almost always scrambles after being rocked and it usually plays in his favor. He did no roll attempts (Minus the last minute bs roll). Didn't try anything outside of the box or unpredictable at all. Even putting aside the fact he was waiting for Justin to gas, he still didn't adapt and shake things up like he usually does. He didn't seem quick on his feet. Didn't capitalize on his leg swipe. In some ways yes he did fight like he usually does and Justin's strategy was a large factor but there's a whole other side to Tony's game we never saw.
Gyanesh Singh that’s how he always fights.. Just a different level of competition. He’s not in there with Cowboy or Pettis or crumble to his pressure.
I just hope tony is ok mentally, he took a lot of damage and I know he was ready to die in there. I hope his loved ones are supporting him and he stays strong.
We have legit reason to be concerned for Tony. The poor guy has been really struggling with his mental health Probably because of the cte.

If Tony Ferguson was prepared for a wrestler, then why didn't he try to take down Justin? He was clearly losing every single round
The Avg Daily Smoker i agree. i think the reason why he didn’t goto ground because Tony has never lost a striking match. He should’ve been more well rounded and fight in all levels... he just did not look himself honestly
it's just excuses from Tony
Justin was NCAA D1 All-American wrestler
That's not how it works, you don't go into a fight with someone like Khabib with the plan of shooting takedowns, you go in with the plan of stuffing takedowns. Defensive wrestling and offensive wrestling are not the same thing.
I would've wanted to see that as well. What's stopping him from pulling a khabib and trying to force the fight to the ground every round? He's got the cardio for it. He can take hits getting close.
Joe, you forgot the most important reason Tony almost killed himself. Doing a double weight cut is insane and only a person like Tony will do such a thing. You can ask any fighter in wrestling, boxing and UFC and they will tell you they would never do such a thing. I will like to see a rematch with both fighters having a complete camp and preparation for each other.
he should have just waited for the khabib fight
Its not like he got down to weight two times, the original date was moved well before the fight and the serious weight cutting and water depletion never took place
Most wrestlers who are wrestling cut weight every wk it’s not that crazy of a thing especially if you are use to cutting weight and have it down to where not to hard to do
fabrizzio monsalve id cut at least ten pounds every wk and when you weigh 120 that’s a lot and I knew wrestlers who did more I’m guessing you didn’t wrestle
The shots that tony ferguson ate would have put whole ufc lightweight division fighters to sleep.
Thats why I still believe Tony can beat Khabib even after being defeated by Justin. If Justing didnt put him in the ground then Khabib wont as well. Tony has more chance because his superior striking skills againts Khabib. However I think if Justing lets Khabib get a hold of him he is done.

Your opinion and that is cool. What half the people think is, I'm trying to make "excuses" for his loss. All I am saying is these things together affected the fight, does not mean if some of them were corrected Tony would have won that night. For all we know Justin might have whooped him more. When someone like Tony loses the way he did, you always have to see the reasons for it.
It takes me back to Cain vs Werdum in Mexico. Maybe Werdum still might have beaten him if Cain would have been smart about his camp, but we know that something went terribly wrong because that is not the usual Cain. Just saying, Tony's loss might have more to do with, than just Gaethje being a superior fighter.
The fact that he’s all American wrestling but only wants to strike is amazing
Edit: and still fucking wins with striking only
His all american status basically garruntees HE dictates where the fight takes place, and since he wants to avoid the ground, they just wont go to the ground period. No one will take him down...no one apart from khabib maybe.
He WAS a wrestler as a kid, then when he found MMA he realized he has a good chin. And in the UFC, that chin has been his weapon. I did not like to watch Gaethje fighting in the UFC because of that, he was taking head shots and losing being a functional human in the future like dollar bills fly out of your hands at a strip club. But against Ferguson he looked leaner and like a smarter fighter. I hope he continues with that, I would love to see how New Gaethje will do. I do not want to see how old Gaethje will end up 10 or 20 years from now when all those head strikes creep up on him.
@@EspenX yeah he's actually learnt and improved so much after those two losses to poirier and alvarez.
