No matter how many losses Tony has recently (Gaethje, Oliveira, Dariush, Chandler, Nate, Green and now Paddy…..hate that I keep having to update this comment) he will always be one of my favorite fighters
Mine too. So exciting style.
Facts
Yessir
Always
Fuck the haters 🖕 CSO
We were so horribly robbed by never getting khabib vs Tony in his prime .
Or Mcgregor
@@aliAli-ty4rf oh yah that would have been epic.
It’s sad to see his 3 fight skid because he’s a legend and one of the most exciting fighters
Islam vs Charles is that fight. They transferred their souls to them.
dont tripbot because Khabih fought Conor
Bet you are here shaking off tears after his loss to Diaz to remind yourself what a legend Tony is
:(
I mean its not the same Tony anymore, he looked so horrible and slow vs Nate.
Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened. Tony’s career will always have these highlight reels.
Here after Bobby green still hurts brotha 😢
@@Ummmzaxkcan't believe he got subbed by green.... Uhg
Aside from "Give him sand!" I think one of my favorite Tony moments is at 5:01 being him throwing a spinning elbow at RDA, missing, RDA shaking his head "no" and Tony throwing another one, landing flush, and him nodding his head 🤣🤣
Exactly my thoughts😂. RDA was like "no bro you missed" and Tony hit that same elbow again saying "I didn't"😂.
Sigma
+1
Bro thanks for pointing that out. I’ve never noticed that
He reversed the combo and spun the other direction too, hilarious
The rolls , sprawls, elbows, chokes, volume and cardio he had was completely legendary and he trains himself
@@NELKOV you’re a laughing stock. Nvm nobody knows you, so they aren’t laughing.
@@andrewfinley3425 damn bro you vanquished his comment.
@@andrewfinley3425 no one knows you either
Don't forget the sand throws!
@@SourPlanet those sand throws always makes me chuckle
Tony's the kind of guy to defend an interim belt multiple times
Renan Barao style
lol
You could make an honest argument there are two 155 champs. Both of them have defended their belt two times
LOL Khabib's fans were triggered by that.
Aphiwe Matyolo how ere they
I will remember Tony as this fighter. Thanks for everything Tony and you’ve been motivational for many people. I truly believe you could be a fantastic coach if you decided to give back.
CSO 🏆💔
Same CSO
@Nigward 12 win streak with no skill. Gtfo. I can tel you never threw a punch in your life
@Nigward nerd
@Nigward ur the most confused person on the face of this planet earth is u believe tony feeguson doesn't have skill🫤
Who’s here reminiscing
😢
Mannnn😕
😪😪😪
He was so good man
we missed tony bruh
Tony Ferguson the type of guy who losses 2 fights in a row just to be the underdog again
Let’s hope bro
really believe that to be false but i also hope its true
💀💀
Tony the type of guy that’s to old now to fight the way he used to
@@Windchambermeh
The UFC did this man dirty
Absolutely
Agree 100000%
Very
He did himself dirty, for our entertaiment.
Doctor Jones How?
When Pettis started kicking Tony's injured leg he fired back by kicking Pettis with multiple shots with the same leg. What a legend
Yeah that was wild😅 man said to his own body “ you’re weak! Man up!”
Tony used to be so quick and fearless ☹️ Tony you are the man, you dont have to prove anything. Please take care of your health.
😂 you're telling a man to quit doing what makes him money. it ain't gonna happen. he'll fight till the wheels fall off. he's a true warrior and in another time he would be a gladiator in the coliseum
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy that dials the phone with his elbows.
Probably something he really does 😂
@@sirdank2899 no shit lol
The Eagle I legit LOL’d

Holy shit 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Tony is the type of guy to move his head instead of toothbrush
Im crying
im crying too
lol :D Fuck the bitch don't know how to punch Ferguson
Sounds good.
lmfao😂
I just realized how great Tony's competition was back then.
Hold on I’m crying brother

Let’s go
Damn, Paddy would have died to this verison of Ferguson.
it’s a crime that this man never got a title shot while he was in his prime and destroying everyone. The ufc did him dirty af
Im a big fan of john too lol
destroying everyone ?? He fights fu no names in the business, he never faced someone big in this game.....
Bro he had the belt for awhile. He wasn't denied a shot at the belt...

Now he is on a different type of Streak.
Lmao 😂😂😂😂
Lose streak
@@subeeregueh5052oh really? I thought he was on a majority draw streak doingy!
Here to relive the glory days
Tony went 15-1 in his first 16 UFC fights and finished 10 of his 15 wins, the most underrated run of all time. Still out of his prime his UFC record is 15-4 and he has 11 bonuses in 19 fights, certified HOFer and one of the best fighters of all time.
And never got a title shot. I swear, it's one of the biggest shams I've ever seen. He was on a TWELVE fight win streak and NEVER got a shot for the undisputed title. Unbelievable.
well said sir. Tony ran through the lightweight division and did the Champ's job of beating contender after contender. After slaughtering Barboza he already deserved a title shot but he didnt get it. From then he beat Vannata, Dos anjos, Lee, Pettis and Cerrone, capturing interim gold in the process got stripped for NO FCKING REASON (only pulled out from ONE fight) and never got his opportunity to prove he was the best in the world. Truly and embarassment situation from the ufc and it sucks cause he is my fav fighter. CSO
@@mp0039 What they should've done was strip Conor, promote Tony (cuz he deserved it) and make Khabib vs. Iaquinta for interim since it was for a belt. Then have Tony face Khabib (if that were even possible, cuz of the curse), then make Conor wait for whoever comes out on top, cuz WE ALL KNOW to this day that Prime Tony had the best chance against Khabib. And now he's being fed to Chandler instead of fighting Conor, the guy who ruined the lightweight division for a year and a half.
@@kevinfreitas6832 you are absolutely right. But conor vs khabib was the money fight as the b*tch that Dana is he made his son vs Khabib
I hope he beats chandler, maybe Dana gives him McGregor for a title shot after if he wins
and still he is fighting for the interim belt as he was 3 years ago. Tony vs Gaethje is a great fight at the wrong time. Tony Vs Khabib is the shit.
Bill of Rights shut up dude
Khabib wants to wait until either Tony is 42 years old or he just plain doesn't have to fight him
Facts bro
@@jbot91 khabib said he was sad tony is already 36 and old 😂 khabib destroys Tony
You’re right khabib isn’t even at his prime and tony can’t get any younger from here. This year Is when it has to happen
A fighter cannot comeback where he was His prime is amazing
;((
One of the pioneers of using the pressure, cardio combo against their opponents. Turning barboza into a wrestler just through pressure is crazy
😂did a spinning left elbow and missed, dos anjos shakes his head no, does it again to the right and lands it, tony shakes his head yes
5:01 for those who wanna see
That was funny lmao
@@callumscott5107 Thanks
Excellent sfriking..
@Tamer Ciftci | lol ok Tamer, you've obviously never felt the tension of a fight... you keep going until the ref stops you. That hit was late, but he was following through his combination. If you watched 238 in its entirety, you'd know he was obviously apologetic directly after.
Tony, the type of guy, to still be my favourite fighter even if he loses.
My question is y wouldn’t he still be your favorite just bc they lose means nothing life comes with loses
Seeing how they come out of it is the beauty

Here after 296 to make myself feel better
THIS IS THE TONY EVERYONE SHOULD REMEMBER FOREVER!!!!
FOREVER AND EVER😎👊🤛💪🤜🦵👂🦶
Tony in his prime was a true mma phenom. The wrestling the jiu jitsu and the striking all at his disposable every moment of every fight. The real deal.
@@metube6299 yes he said wrestling , Tony was a national wrestling champ during his school/college days
He was the only American beside Jon Jones who could give deadly submissions
True MMA fighter very well balanced
Tony the type of guy to shut the door with a spinning elbow
😂😂😂😂 my new favourite
That was nice 😂👌🏻
chuck Norris jokes and Tony jokes are best never gets old and over ppl always get new one
Too funny
Yo I was just watching this and closed my bathroom door with a spinning elbow 😂
The highlight reel of a man whose entire life was the UFC, it’s so saddening to see him fight today knowing he had this beautiful, eternally underrated run. One of my favorite fighters, a unique rhythm and hybrid I’m unsure will be seen again
Tony Ferguson was great fighter no doubt
In His prime yep, but NOW not anymore
PETITION: Even if Tony loses against Gaethje, he should have the right to go against the winner between Khabib-Gaethje. He didn't have to take this fight but did it for the fans. He won 12 times in a row. If Romero can lose 3 times in a row and then "fight" for the title, Tony definitely deserves this chance.
he's not going to loose :)
Sadly that's not the way it works. Tony has huge balls for doing this but it definitely isn't the smart decision. IMO Gaethje is a far riskier fight for Tony than Khabib is also. I seriously doubt we will ever see Tony vs Khabib.
Fuck yes. Tony is the champ either way
Suhayb Yones it is a riskier fight, because loosing against Khabib would mean still having a shot again for the interim belt, and possibly another shot at the title; on the other hand winning against Gaethje won’t give him the title and loosing would be very costly as it might take a while before having another chance.
Lmao, he wont lose u silly.
Great to see people still appreciating this Legend. Too many jumped off when Tony took a couple losses. True MMA fans respect his unique style of fighting and toughness. 😎👊
🏆CSO😎
Ты абсолютно прав!
Tony is one my all time favs. Easy.
Just shaking my head. The guy just was well rounded. It's to bad he lost the skill. He was damn killer in there for years. Hard and sad to see Tony fall so hard. Definitely makes me tear up almost seeing Chuck and Tony together after last fight. Their careers are so similar to how Tony's is ending
Jiri reminds me of tony by the way he trains and jiri is champ. Will never forget the great tony Ferguson .
I come back to this every time I'm sad
Hold on brother, I'm crying
tony the type of guy who loose againt gaethje just to know what all his opponents has felt before
Straight up forgot how it feels to lose🤣

God it gets harder and harder to come back to this video
Definitely the most avoided fighter in 155 pound division when he was in his prime 💯
Khabib even looked scared whenever they came face to face
@@clarkdark2906 how can someone like khabib be scared of another man? Be real
@@elshanks1578 fear is an emotion, not a thing. And considering Conor Mcgregor, who was on top of the world, at least his world, from 2016 to the Khabib fight, was too scared to fight Tony, I wouldn’t blame Khabib
@@clarkdark2906 I’m saying someone with khabib’s mentality wouldn’t fear fighting someone in a hand to hand fight. He just sees it as another competition.
@@elshanks1578 judging by the press conference, Tony was in his head a different way than Conor, Conor just made him more motivated. When Tony brought up things like how Khabib couldn’t finish Edson but Tony took him out in like 8 minutes he was actually hit. I’d have Khabib winning a 2020 fight but idk about prime Tony vs Khabib back in like 2015-2017
Anyone watching after the Dariush loss to remember the good old days😢
Me I still believe Tony’s got it and just needs 1 win
@@officialkick_central big ferguson fan here but i believe his best days are past
make him fight lee again or maybe hooker
Since his Knee surgery we can see that he don't throw kicks like he was used to. :( That's what I think but truly one of the greatest without injuries... When you see all the beat down he gave to the best of the lightweight at the time, sadly never against Khabib and McGregor
@@MouMouhd He was throwing really good kicks against Gaethje but yeah after that ACL he really slowed down, in Pettis fight he was still fast but you can see in Donald fight that he was way slower.
@@MouMouhd yeah i also think it was the knee surgery, Gaethje was his first true test after that
Tony is someone I really admire and it just feels so bad to see him decline so quick. I will forever respect this man and hope he stops before he accumulates more unnecessary damage.
from 12 fight win streak to a 6 fight loss streak oh man...
That’s what happens when fighter’s get to a certain age

And then Tony went on to defeat Khabib in a one-sided 5 round beatdown, making him verbally tap from 15 consecutive ankle-picks. He would later defend the belt 12 times. Among the victories: Gaethje (x2), Oliveira, Dariush, McGregor, Hasbulla riding Islam, the Bear that trained Khabib, Jon Jones' skeleton, and Ngannou in his lightweight debut after losing both legs after DC ate them. The end.

If there's one thing I learned from Tony's career it's the importance of mental health. How do you go from longest win streak in the division to the longest losing streak? CTE + depression is no joke and I hope Tony recovers.
Win, lose, or draw, Tony is my favorite fighter of all time of any combat sport. The man is a freak, his output and shot selections are frightening, not to mention his heart is one of the toughest in UFC history. What he did to "Dos Angos" was embarrassing......he slipped a punch, turned a slow 360° and ripped a left body shot😳. Tony Ferguson will go down a legend 💪🏽.
Tony has defended his belt twice and he’s about to get another defense against Justin 💀

No matter what happens in Tony's career or in my life he will always be my favorite fighter, always kept it real and was a badass in the cage -CSO🇱🇷🏆🇲🇽💪😎🐐
I haven't left Tony's wagon. The heart of a true warrior beats in that man's chest. His eccentric personality is what makes him him. It's too bad it probably cost him his Khabib fight. He wanted to do it for the fans so much that while on a 12 fight winning streak, lined up to finally get his dream fight, he takes a last minute match up that doesn't favor him at all. He risks it all to fight an incredible defensive wrestler with impeccable hand-speed and power. This, after training for years now to fight someone who's game plan is to out wrestle you against a fence and beat on you. Tony didn't get to use any of those skills he trained on his back or to defend the takedowns. All that time that could have been prioritized to deal with stand up work and making a game plan for Justin. But if that wasn't bad enough, he's so foolhardy that he cuts weight twice just for the sake of it and compromises himself beforehand.
Tony could have refused the fight and waited for Khabib. Nobody could blame him for that if he did. If anything, that would have been a smart decision. But that's not Tony.
When I watched that fight I was devestated, but not just because my dog was losing, but after that 3rd round I felt like someone should have been there to save their fighter. By the end I wasn't sure if he could ever fight the same way again. He couldn't just go unconscious, and so he kept walking into the fire. Now we may never get to see him like he was again, and we'll certainly never get to see that Khabib fight.
A tragic bookmark in his career, but man what a journey to watch over the years since he won The Ultimate Fighter. I won't say it's the end yet, because if anyone could come back from that it would be him. This is a man who gets ACL surgery and fights 6 months later.
Not my overall all time fav, but definitely stylistically my favorite fighter to watch ever. There will never be another Tony Ferguson. We'll be here when you're back El Cucuy!
UPDATE: Tony survives 5 rounds with a completely compromised arm with Oliviera. This man is willing to let someone destroy his arm in order to persevere and win. Nothing but heart from Tony. I hope he takes a longer time off after this loss.
tbh i think hes what happens when one is too mentally tough. Cutting weight twice, working out six hours a day, the fact that he never gave up and kept coming during the Gaethje fight, all that shows his decline. What made him the man who could have beaten Khabib, the crazy guy, what gave him his next-level cardio, unpredictable style, crazy chin and toughness and eccentric personality, is sadly also why he's on such a decline. I want him to fight COnor next. Not because of any bs like rankings, title shots etc, but because I want him to get a massive payday b4 he retires. For his own sake. I think Conor's going to out-point him because we all know he can't knock Tony out, but Tony's past his prime and wont be able to do anything. Yeah. I want him to retire for his sake
@@wergar_the_warwolf6834 While I agree with everything else you're saying, I feel like two losses doesn't necessitate the assumption of a decline in the fighter. Tony is still dangerous for anyone at lightweight if (and this is a big if) he takes some actual time out to recover. I think he needs to fight with a crowd present as well. You give Tony that, and I'd hedge my bets on him vs McGregor if they would do us all the favor of making that match up. Connor had the privilege of being able to avoid fighting him up to now, and I think with Tony coming off his two losses, this is when he'd seem like a demoralized opponent that would be easier to take out. These two defeats have created a narrative, but I still believe that the boogie man hasn't gone anywhere and he's trouble for anyone who would lock themselves in a cage with him.
@@yourmackdaddy9395 Eh.. Even during the cowboy fight. IN R2 it was a borderline 10-8, don't get me wrong, but he usually comes out way faster. Like, R1 was close and it shouldn't have been. Tony's no bum, like any up and comer shouldn't sleep on him, but still... I dunno, he looked old and slow in the Charles fight, almost like his body just wouldn't do what the mind wanted. He could mitigate the decline with some time off but let's be honest ur fucking crazy if you think he's gonna do that(much to both your and I's chagrin)
He's still trouble, and guys can't sleep on him, but he's no longer the guy who can smash Khabib, is what I'm saying.
@Four Teen Scumbag
@@wergar_the_warwolf6834 I don't know if he ever could have "smashed" Khabib. But I think he stood a better chance of doing the deed than many, and after having so much time to prepare for that fight through all the cancellations, I think he was lined up to cause some serious trouble. Those slicing elbows could stop the fight if he managed to cut khabib badly enough or in such a way where he couldn't see to fight. He's trickier off his back than most. He's incredibly durable, mentally and physically. He never gives up on himself, he has cardio for days, slept on one-hit knockout power, maybe the best chin in the sport, and he is self motivated beyond belief. It is a tragedy that it never came to be.
In the Charles fight he didn't look like himself. You could say he looked old and slow, but I think that loss to Justin probably messed his head up physically and mentally. Damage like that has to take a serious toll on your life. But I think something about not having the crowd there and coming back so soon off his first loss after a 12 fight win streak could have had a major effect on his performance. The crowd factor is no joke. For a fighter that's used to that and gets fired up from it, it can be a real disadvantage.
One of the most embarrassing things in ufc history is that a fighter can get a 12 fight win streak be no. 1 contender for years and still not get 1 title shot
To all the people saying he got 5 in the comments he was scheduled to fight khabib 5 times only 2 of those were meant to be title fights one at 223 where he blew out his knee and one at 249 where travel restrictions meant the fight couldn’t happen
And all because Khabib is dodging. Khabib should have been stripped of that belt. Just dodges too many fights.
Ct 033 I don’t think he’s dodging, only one which is a bit dodgy is when they went to a random hospital and if they’d told the ufc the fight could have been saved. Besides Tony has been no 1 contender for far longer than khabib has been champion
They tried to make it five times headass
Tara Medrano who me?
@@therockdwarfmockdwarf1476 yes u, they tried 5 times to make that fight, its not their fault
5:01 lol love how RDA shakes his head like nope didn't land so Tony does it again and lands then nods like yep it landed go flip yourself

Still thankful for this fight since this situation we are in. Thanks uncle Dana hell of a card!
Hopefully Conor fights masvidal
O.p has common senses
I cant understand those saying tonys loss vs Mj was a fluke, so if some kid try to punch me but got his hand broken cause I have thicker bones u would tell him its ok its not a proper loss?! Some twisted logic these guys have!
@@a.k.4o
Khabib scared? Youre a emotional clown kid.
@@supremeleaderarmy9164 khabib is dodging tony bud, that's a fact not an opinion. Khabib has pulled out 3 times now
seriously man who fights like this? he is one of the most exciting fighters to watch perform
@M Harish Add Holloway, Khabib, Usman and Covington to that list. They don't stop either. Just relentless pressure for 25 minutes or less.
Do Bronx is my 2nd favorite fighter after Tony. Hes not as tough or as durable, but very similar stylistically.....game to fight anywhere the fight goes, takes a ton of risks and never point fights. Doesnt fear the takedown one bit and isnt scared to stand and bang.
El Cucuy and Do Bronx....ALWAYS going for the kill anywhere the fight goes.
@M Harish Did you not watch the Usman/Woodley and Usman/Covington fights? The Woodley one was complete domination and the Covington one was a war that he brutally stopped in the fifth.
@M Harish Hugged him to a decision? We obviously weren't watching the same fight. He completely dominated Woodley from start to finish and threw almost 400 strikes. And the Covington fight wasn't a war just because of animosity, they were both incredibly high-level wrestlers and didn't want to chance grappling with each other, so it stayed on the feet. Usman's output and power won him that fight.
@@samcooke343 you actually found woodley vs usman entertaining? Man i stopped watching after round 3 and just waited for the result LOL. Other than that the other guys are entertaining i might add Zabit Magomedsharipov, Nick diaz, and Izzy to the list tho they belong on the most fun to watch list.
Even in those last few fights you could see hed slowed down
i think after that knee injury he was just never going to be as fast, he looked SO good against barboza and rda
@sizeXLbargby yeah, at that time Tony was something special. He was so fast and unpredictable
Tony was an absolute demon. Always will be among the greats
💯💯
BooM👊yes
Tony is the type of guy to throw a two spinning elbows in a row. No really.

According to Eddie Bravo noone else would dare
@Jonata Tge fullstop adds a bigger pause
If you win 12 fights in a row in the highest level fighting promotion on the planet… well, yeah. I’d say you’re a legend.
When you see how good Tony is here with his speed and timing it's a shame to see him lose the way he did against green at the weekend. Its Like he was fighting under water at times!
Damn. Tony's a beast. He looked like he had no equal. This version of Tony is a problem for anyone.
I can’t believe the disrespect people are giving this man he lost 1 fight after a 12 fight win streak and they wanna say he sucks and is done
@God he can always come back tony truly is something else
Ya, ufc is full of idiotic fans who act like it's just a bunch of street brawling. Unfortunately, ufc caters to such people as a fan base.
@@PaperGrape ONE does alot better of having a mma respectful approach, in my opinion. But their media is nothing compared to UFC
Theres people who never fight and says "tONy Is A mYdIoCrE fiGHTEr" bro what part of 12 win streak in the ufc you are not allow to understand
I know right? I couldn't believe it with what I've seen in the comments afterwards, but I guess those must be all the "casuals" that they speak of and / or just little kids and degenerate fans
Tony is the type of guy that calls emergency and asks how can I help you.
nice 1😂
th-cam.com/video/EX3EMdyqkQA/w-d-xo.html 👋🏻👑👑💫
He's weird indeed 😁
Hold on iam crying😢😢😢😢 forever your fan legend ❤❤❤
Man I nearly cried watching this
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to train 10 days a week.
Weak....👎🏼👎🏼
Post more videos of tony
Tito trains 3 days a day lmao
@Gerardo Ojeda they make compilations of the fighters being funny not actually make jokes dumby
Tony Ferguson the type of dude to unclog his toilet with a spinning back fist.
Who hasn't done that?
just tried this; it works
LMFAO
can’t wait for the 12 fight losing streak video next
Watching this after he lost to Bobby green 😢
I seriously question the sanity of everyone who underestimates the skills of Tony after his loss to Gaethje.
@Senile Crocodile I'd love to see a vengeful el cucy, dude would destroy the division
Same things happening with Gaethje after his loss against Khabib lol. UFC fans can be pretty retarded.
Not to the extent that they are with Tony though, I guess a lot of people really don't like him.
They’re the same people that think no one can beat khabib. Just delusional casuals who listen to hype the ufc feeds them.
nobody is saying that tony wasn't a beast, but now his carrer is over, that's what happen when you take too much damage in your fights
So when Tony fought Pettis that was my first ever UFC fight and I have been hooked ever since, I remember watching with my friends and saying "OMG that guy looks just like my grandpa!" about Tony and he was whooping Pettis and doing rolls and flips around the cage it was *magical*
tony literally looks like a creature you'd see in a forest
And I bet you are obsessed with the sport now. Brilliant stuff hey
Ah, you saw conor vs khabib then??
dudeeeee sammmmeee hereeee best fight ever
@@TheGniel at this point who hasn't? People keep talking about it and it's been like 3 years let it go already we know khabib dominated and the chicken tapped lmao
