Tony is the definition of “can’t let them know your next move”
Literally lol
Ong
Next moves don't know tony
So give information on everything under the sun till it leaves you not caring you may have just heard the secrets to life all of them finally answered. Lol
Probably a somersault or something stupid
He makes me laugh, Tony is the type to tell a joke and say '' Why you laughing?''
“Did I say something funny?”
Do I amuse you?
Now that he explained the meaning it's not funny. Dana pressuring him to cut down to a weight that Tony believes is damaging his body.
"Funny how"
😂😂😂😂
love him or hate him, NO ONE can deny that this man is a pure warrior....
hell yeah he's american. Americans dominate baby
@@anthonygaertner2396 cringe
I can. Being beaten to a pulp every fight the past 3 fights does not make you a warrior. It makes you a punching bag.
@@orz6193 triggered
100% ..ego aside ...he has earnt it...and is a right one off..I find the guy funny as ...in the ring ....he's in my top 10 of all time ..bloke has 100% heart ...that's all i ask ..respect to the man for chearing us up
Tony learned the hard way that being “for the company” for *decades* just isn’t worth it. All you get is a pat on the back and a “thanks buddy” on the way out.
Well if he kept at it.. He might get a room in the PI, like Forrest
@@thefourfourfour9512 what is that
People just don't take him seriously
He was never ever a 'company man'. If he was his total persona of a rebel is fake. I believe Tony puts himself first all the time.
@@shradhey Tony is rebel yea but community oriented
"I dont think that shits very funny" "hold on brother im talking" 😭😭😭 never a dull moment in a Tony Ferguson interview
@George Washington all those controlled op
@George Washington I will now vote for these candidates thank you for the information Mr Washington and may I say I am a fan
@George Washington what kind of an obious bot are you
That's the CTE talking.
@George Washington hold on brother im talking
Tony makes an entire room of fully grown men who are reporters feel entirely on edge, he even cues them when to laugh and tells them what they can laugh at 🤣
All with a look...
imagine dana cancel press conference 😄😄😄
this guy Tony is done ,he looks very old and weak ,all this white hair ...he should retire
@@chaborz4851 khabibi is young and healthy and retirered like a coward only 3 title defenses 😂
@@o1h823 he also only wrestles and gets submission wins like a coward
Thank you for everything you do and everything you've sacrificed for the sport. Thank you Tony Ferguson.
He prolly still doesnt where he is hahahahaha
You can tell how hurt Tony really is by the UFC. He was so loyal to the company without realizing they don't care about him at the end of the day.
Conor is right, you have no friends in business , luv em or hate em, Conor Mcgregor is a good businessman. Tony should learn from him.
@@klausmkl Agree. A good business don't make friends. Just get the job done. All these cry babies.
It’s almost like cage fighting is a brutal business or something
@@benjaminkell3726 um doesnt mean u get to backstab & rip off the participants, dum-dum.
At the end of the day it's just another greedy corporation with an agenda.
Lmao I love Tony, he's so damned out there. Never disappoints lol
Tony: "Gotta enjoy myself more"
Also Tony: "That's not funny"
Also Tony: “Hold on brother I’m taking”
Ikr bro wtf 😂😂😂 classic Tony. He was like that in every interview as well leading up to his fight with Charles
Haha dudes all over the place
He’s a weirdo
If you really use your brain, it's not funny
Lmaoooo.
“Hold on Brother I’m talking.” 😂😂
Classic Tony
Edit: Hold on Brother I’m crying.
🤣🤣🤣
When was this ?
@@jlmckenna10 in the beginning
4:44
My god I got chills when this man hit the screen! Legend!!
Same bro. 😇
Love him or hate him Tony's one of the most unique individuals out there
The most real Tony we've gotten in a while. Respect. Win or lose Tony will always be legendary.
Sad if this is real. He is bitter and delusional. I'm respecting that , I am hoping he changes for the better.
@@bluwng he’s not delusional here. When he called Charles an amateur he was delusional then
@@bluwng You are sooooo right lol
Clearly a recovering addict still a great fighter tho
@@bluwng man is taking straight facts he’s pouring his heart out in this interview you can tell he’s fed up with the organisation
“I’m gonna kick this Dana White Boy’s ass”…. Another classic from Tony. He never disappoints
man. white boy needs to be considered a racial slur. these brown boys out here are ignorant.
Haha ye he never disappoints, he’s quite the character! But sucks for Tony, since Chandler is going to absolutely beat the brakes off of him.
@@user-zo4iz2nv5u just wait till Saturday kid. Dana's boy is in for a rough night
@@thelameape Did you say the same about Gaethje? Olivera? Dariush? Haha you don’t even believe that yourself.
@@user-zo4iz2nv5u Trust me, Tony's winning this one :D
Thing with tony is he never got beat during his prime.. he only started losing after 36.. in his late 20s - mid 30s he was unstoppable
Why do we love Tony? This is why. You can't tell me that you didn't feel your heart go:"Yeah!" When Tony said that he thought about the emails from fans all over the world saying he saved their lives. You know you felt it in your heart when Tony said he thought of his son when Oliveira had him in the armbar, and Tony said:"Aight, go 'head break the phukker, cuz I said: I'm going to beat you with it." TONY, DON'T SIGN THE CONTRACT EXTENSION!! SEE WHAT BELLATOR, ONE FC ETC. OFFERS. SEE IF THE PFL WILL LET YOU IN THEIR $1M TOURNAMENT, FIRST!! Dana will just screw you again, man.
You got that right.
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to ask John Morgan the first question
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep em guessing...
Hes also the type of guy to do 10 pushups before asking the question
Freaking hilarious. Tony's been gone too long, I haven't heard Tony the type jokes for a while.
Feel for Tony. In his prime he didn’t get the title shot. When he did he suffered a devastating knee injury and hasn’t been the same since. His last fights were bad but even then they couldn’t finish him. Tony is a beast and I hope he gets the money he deserves.
I love Tony too but let's be real here. Without the ref stepping in Tony could have been completely finished by Justin.
he got screwed for sure, that's why you never be a company man. once in a while youre a conor mcgregor but most of the time you get screwed with that mindset.
Tony was gonna die if they didn't stop the fight, the end of that fight was so freaky to watch Tony shake off the jabs cause he's seeing triple.
@@b.g.7381 charles didn’t stop him
100% facts
Tony ferguson is a straight g! It took some balls to talk like this and despite the sightly cryptic quotes it's clear what he's really saying about the exploitation of these fighters, all the while potentially risking his job. Mad respect 👊🏾🇬🇧
💯 percent
You can tell his college days and competing as a young man really meant alot to him, I hope he talks to a sports phycologist, not for any bad reasons but I think it would help him and his performance
💯
Tony pulled the "Hold On brother I'm Talking" that's why I love Tony Ferguson he's himself
this guy Tony is done ,he looks very old and weak ,all this white hair ...he should retire
@@chaborz4851 You salty?
@@chaborz4851 can’t say you’re wrong until this fight ends but no need to point out the obvious either. We enjoy Tony because he’s Tony 😂
Glad he did, the interview was awkward for a bit up until than.
When Tony get interviewed it is like he is holding a seminar or a TED talk or something. love it! GO TONY! Go prove all the doubters wrong! HELLYEAH!
I know I love it
He usually sounds insane. He sounds incredibly focused
Time to finally cut him after this next loss.
@@dannyh5937 no, he sounds insane. Dude goes off on tangents after getting asked one question about something completely different than what he’s going on about.
CSO⚔️
Tony is a literal contradiction. He says one thing, then the next sentence contradicts it by saying something else.
Much love to Tony. Living legend of the fight game. Really hope things go his way and we get an epic fight this Saturday. He seems recovered and organized. Very dangerous additions for his subset of skills.
4:40 The iconic "hold on I'm talkin brother"🤣🤣🤣
"Opportunities exist when we create them." - Tony Ferguson
wooooooo
@Graham hancock is a pseudoscientist take ur negativity somewhere else.
always odd when i read it as he said it haha like tony himself wanted me make sure i heard it twice
@@lisivelez8003 Give him hell, Lisi!
@Graham hancock is a pseudoscientist someone who was on a 12 fight win streak
At a certain point, Tony was like, “let me just answer the important questions you guys are clearly not asking.”
My heart's with Tony going into this ppv. He's the one I want to win the most .
I think tony wins this one. I really hope gaethje can get the 'W'. Great card
Chandler will rip him apart.
I hate to say this because I really dislike Chandler and I love Tony.
But Tony is past his time. He's not the same fighter he was even a cpl years ago.
I pray I'm wrong. I wanna see tony stomp this dude
@@330wiz7 If he loses I just hope he gets a Jake Paul fight to look after his kids. If he wins I hope he fights McGregor.
@@oooo1110 Tony's unbreakable. Chandler can only win with a decision.
Interviewers gotta love Tony.
"How's the camp been?"
Tony goes on an 11 minute long form essay to answer.
This is the first time I've sat through an entire press conference of his, and I have to say, this guy comes across as very intelligent with a lot of alacrity. He seems very in the moment and conscious of where he is and what he needs to do in the moment. Not sure if he's always been like this, but his energy here is almost infectious; he also comes across as very honorable, diligent, and committed. It's a shame we don't have more people like that in position of leadership roles.
Essays are coherent.
@@kermitfrog593 and terribly boring unlike anything w/ Ferguson.
@@saeyoonchung7873 he must be getting old because even his cringe is a little off. I always thought cringe was the last thing to go.
Ain’t many characters like Tony - will be sorely missed when he goes.
I worry that the UFC will grow really stale when this generation retires. All of them have so much personality. I see very little of that in the up and comers.
He has literally lost it
@Graham hancock is a pseudoscientist You're definitely not a MMA fan....Ferguson is one of the most exciting fighters in the history of the sport.
@Graham hancock is a pseudoscientist you just hating at this point lol
@@denisskenderovic3707 you ain’t been watching. Look at the young guys
What's sad about Tony interviews, is that we smile and we laugh and we take him seriously but mma media is to scared to run with all the UFC criticism any fighter puts out there. And this will all be forgotten next week
💯
You’d be right if it was someone else, but tony is inevitable. I honestly think This interview will circulate forever once it really gets in the algorithm when he retires
Warrior mentality. A legend of the sport.
Tony Ferguson: "they made me cut weight to fight at 155"
Also Tony : cuts 24 pounds in a week even if the fight is canceled 🤣
Exactly lol...this guy makes very little sense. He's a warrior but he needs to leave the khabib thing alone. It's not happening in this life. We'll see how he does Saturday
🤣🤣
@@chrisgrady4466 he a little bit stupid guy 🤣
that's just his determination tho, and mixed in with him being a company man it makes sense with his character. he's not just all insanity
@@socialchum wasn't a good decision. If it is a task for him to cut to 155 as he mentioned when he spoke...it surely depleted him when he had to do it a month or so later when he had to cut again for Justin. It could have been a major factor in him losing
Tony really opened my eyes to the BS some fighters go through, this man is serious.
This has been happening forever but I really hope more people see it. I've been saying I hope the UFC collapses sooner than later. Either way it's inevitable.
*All fighters
@@kingjoseph5901 you what ufc to collapse then what are people going to watch ? it like seeing a teacher pet and saying I hope the school are class collapse, it the fight game accept it
@@paynenation8871 There are plenty of other organisations out there and if the UFC collapses then plenty will take their place. Just like when Pride collapsed. At the end of the day MMA is great because of the fighters, not the UFC
@@tsunax1400 then go watch the other promotions, the fighters knew what they were sign up for
Interviewer: Tony what are you chewing on after each answer?
Tony: Yes.
Reporter: What were you listening to during training?
Ferguson: Lists 50 songs and bands
Ferguson: I didn't listen to anything.
Tony sounds good and explained himself thoroughly, he is expressing his frustrations and opening up a lot of what’s happening with him and I appreciate that. Tony is the man, he was considered the boogie man of the division and now he’s being disrespected by people, like he’s being overlooked because of his last loses, I hope he does well this weekend.
I hope chandler tries to stand with him .
Yeah he just got old and everyone acted like he was just always trash it's just not his Era anymore
That’s the way of sports man. It’s what have you done for me lately. It’s the media more then the true fans but it is what it is only a small hand full live on longer then their career.
@@dirtydan3842 Its not even that he got old, he just got beat by really good guys,
@@rdgpromotions6087 it’s really a combination of both, Ferguson is past his prime
Even if Tony lost 10 straight fights I would still love this man because of how genuine he is and honest. He speaks straight facts that others are afraid to say. Him and the Diaz brothers are as real as it gets. Best wishes Tony, not just inside the cage but outside as well.
Same this man is the reason I watch this sport. I hope he can get hands on the belt
Yeah ,I agree......Nate , Nick and Tony...bout as real as you will ever have in this sport.
@Cheech if Glover can get it he can ge it too.
Same bro. Will be a very sad day once he calls it a career.
@@karanvarma5789 Oliveira, Peña, Blachowicz, Texeira, etc. This sport will always surprise us and outcomes aren't set in stone. ANYBODY can get the gold.
I absolutely love this guy. He fights his heart out. Win lose or draw! Tony is right!
Tony is a huge part of the UFC. He speaks the truth. He fights like a madman but also is a fierce competitor with unmatched killer instinct. We’ve seen straight up massacres with guy involved.
This is one of the greatest pre fight press conferences I've ever seen.
It's media day, the prefight press conference will be later.

@@timmysawdust193 I missed your point and your joke. Come again
If we get vintage tony this Saturday I’ll tear up without a doubt.
Sadly, I think we'll never see vintage Tony again.
Man me too. I would love to see Tony going back to old school ways throwing fake sand and rolling all over and submit chandler. I love Tony. Dudes out of his mind but he's such a savage in the ring
This interview is intense. Love it!
Wow, he’s speaking really well and looks In a much better place... Everyone loves Tony... I would love to see him comeback and win
This is the best interview I've heard of him. He is REAL here. He's EMOTIONALLY HURT, and he's showing it. Acknowledgement of hurt gives a different kind of power.
He fought Gaethje they gave him Olivera. He had chances wtf is he "hurt" about?
@@EliVideoCloud exactly! He was dismissed by people because he has been losing
@@EliVideoCloud he wanted to fight Khabib
Acknowledging hurt or accepting it gives a different kind of power? Cuz clearly he’s not accepting that he’s hurt. High emotions does not fare well in a fight.
@@EliVideoCloud its before he fought Gaethje. When your interim champ you get a title unification bout but Tony never got one when he won it vs Kevin Lee. Also, he didn't have to fight Gaethje .. He had the title fight with Khabib locked up, he just had to wait.. But the Ufc needed a main event after the pandemic lockdown so Tony stepped up for them.. Most of fighters wouldn't have
Tony has provided us with a ton of entertainment over the years and sacrificed his physical and mental health for it. It's a shame he doesn't get the respect he deserves from the UFC.
Because he’s a mediocre fighter. Get over it
@@stunnakamero5931 and who tf are you? A loser stuck in his momma house lmaoo
@@stunnakamero5931 a 12 fight winning streak in the UFC is not mediocre, you absolute numpty.
@@stunnakamero5931 mediocre fighters don't go on 12 fight win streaks while turning their opponents into minced meat.
@@ilovetheatfeveryone he fought apart from RDA were either walking Ls or journeymen. WHEN he finally came up against elite fighters it showed he didn’t belong there. He will get humiliated by Chandler, I can guarantee you this. The UFC basically gave Chandler this fight as a tune up to boost his moral.
One of my favourite Tony Interviews! Great job TF!🔥
Reporter: How do you prepare for such wars?
Ferguson: *talks about random subjects and rants for 17 minutes*
when he flipped his chair around i knew old tony is back
Tony the type of guy to train at home and sleep at the gym.
That's funny 😅
Hes also so the guy that got destroyed 3 in a row.
So what? And you're the type of guy that comments on youtube. He fought the toughest guys in the best division in UFC. Yeah he lost three od his last fights but again, so what? Still one of the most entertaining and charismatic fighters in the history of this sport. But yeah, sitting in front of your computer you will never lose three in a row, that's for sure.
@@loco79PL chill out dude. I'm sure he loves you too.
U can just see how many viwes have tony and another fighters in those interviews here 🤫 He is legendary! ✊🏼
Wow best speech I've ever heard from an MMA fighter. Take notes Dana
Is it really A Tony interview without multiple five minute insane monologue with insane metaphors and crazy life stories?
Tony's monologues sound like he is sharing at an NA meeting. 😆
Literally one of a kind. Always brings it. Never been in a boring fight. I will always love watching watching this guy. Legend
Theres only 1 Tony Ferguson🙏 #ChampShit
That Dariush fight was a little boring ngl
@@lilbonz805 tbh thats cause dariush made it boring...thought tony got the W when he had him in the darce:((
Oliviera fight was a lil boring also
his fight with justin was just sad to watch
we saw aldo coming back from a losing streak, nothing is impossible. tony will always be one of my favorite fighters, he never ditched anybody and maybe has been too tough for his own good
Tony is great. Whenever his contract ends, I hope he goes and does whatever he truly wants to do.
“Opportunities exist when we create them” - Sensei Ferguson 💯

He's a newfound prophet.
@@oogway73 is he? Looked more like a sleeping baby this guy is done he is a tomatoe can
Tony Ferguson: I’m going to have fun
Also Tony Ferguson: I’m taking this serious
There’s a time to have fun and to be serious
I peeped that too.
They are not mutually exclusive.
Tony is awesome for speaking out like this. I think he sees his younger self in Terrance Mckinney, young/hungry and taking anything they throw at him. I hope the younger fighters are paying attention & learn their worth, especially as the sport gets more popular
I’m just appreciating Tony fighting and going through fight week There’s never going to be another Tony
I'm sure there will be. Human punching bags are pretty common.
I love listening to him. He needs to do Joe Rogan podcast so he can have a long form discussion to really analyze his thoughts.
I agree.
Tony will just say “hold on I'm talking here Joe" for 2 hours
i dont know why Rogan didnt call him ever
Tony doesn’t like joe
@@SamoukiTuki there is so many people he should have on but doesn't that really blows my mind
2:47 "... I'm tired of retaliation tactics from the company"
Reporter: "Ok last question"
By all means just stick to your list and don't follow up on that bombshell of a quote he just threw in your lap.
Right!?
Morgan’s fat has suffocated his brain
Thought the same thing
If they ask those questions Dana will ban them from coming back and bad mouth them like he did Ariel. This company is anti American, anti free speech, and Dana White is an ultimate scum bag.
Because not many people actually care lol
Win, lose, or draw, Tony always brings it, he's obviously struggling with something mentally, hopefully he can find whatever's missing/his peace! ✌️
He is just upset and tired of the company. He wants to be released and is willing to take these fights knowing that he is not in his prime anymore and is being used to promote the other fighters.
Tony… absolutely changing everyone’s tone at this conference… now, I’m really stoked to see this fight!!!! Kick ass, fellow Michigander!!!
Tony was done wrong by Dana and very unlucky aswell. At his peak he couldnt get that fight with Khabib.
It was his management. Him and Conor were under the same umbrella back then and that fucken agent was only focused on conors rise and put Tony on the back burner.
Oh stfu. Idiot tripped on a cord because he wears glasses inside buildings like the idiot he is.
Why watch tony on his back geting beaten to pulp..he was manhandled by darisuh ..khabib wouldve destroyed tony ... the only way he couldve beat khabib was by a sub off his back..and that WOULD NOT have hapoend
Dana made that fight 3 times. How is that on Dana? It was just pure bad luck. Tony destroying his knee, the pandemic, etc.
The UFC never did Tony wrong outside of maybe once when they gave McGregor the shot against Khabib over him (and even that was understandable considering the $$$$$) but otherwise it was just bad timing and luck on Tony's part.
My whole world lit up when Tony said: "Hol' on broda I'm talkin'"
He isn’t Russian he said hold on brother
💕so sweet!! Thanks for sharing this information
GREAT INTERVIEW. MUCH RESPECT TO TONY FERGUSON. GREAT FIGHTER. TELLING IT HOW IT IS !
'what music you listening to?' sneaks around Tony's tight AF guard. for 20 seconds.
Tony has had one of the worst times in UFC. He never got a shot at the title, he helped them rebuild the division by taking tough fights after Khabib left. He deserves more from UFC but I know he won't get it
Hahahahah it’s his own fault, all of it. He believes his own memes. Who walks around inside with sunglasses on?
He deserves what he got, you're talking like its someone else's fault
@D. Lindsay Tony is lucky he never fought Khabib, his would have destroyed him.
@@user-cx9gq2ud6t Charles Oliveira does it as well
@@user-cx9gq2ud6t Why are you so triggered by people wearing sunglasses? I don't get it
At 2.25 in the video Tony already got the reporters sweating. This dude knows how to train humans on cue with just the change in his attitude
This interview is really striking a chord in the MMA world. I’ve seen multiple channels posting it and it getting close to 1M views and counting.
Tony is as real as it comes. So refreshing and raw. Always be one of my favorites.
Tony is such a fascinating person. One minute he’s telling the most absurd metaphor ever , then he’s monologuing over an emotional experience, and then he’s talking about the company letting him down and it’ll all to be answer one question lol.
That bit about building shelf space to hold the good things was gold though, he must have stolen that from someone who know how to read 🤣
@MARQUIS de QUEENSBURY 5.0 I could be wrong, but that could’ve been an attempt to bring the fun side of his personality back to the interview. Asking him something personal, but lighthearted, knowing he’d appreciate the question.
And then after it's all said and done never even really answered the question lol
And he listens to classic rock. I could see him puffing a cigar on a private yacht and then strapping on a leather vest and riding a harley through the hills of Florida. The modern mma warrior poet.
If unpredictability was a superpower, Tony would definitely pose it 😂 Either it’s fighting, talking or joking, this man is unpredictable
This is an accurate comment lol I saw this man go down the stairs with his hands on Embedded 😅
@@axel_adams4988 I used to do that

The definition of Tony is when the reporter asks him what music he's been listening to. He goes through several songs and then says "I haven't been listening to music" lololol.
The best I’ve heard tony talk ever!! What a man. I just found myself nodding along to everything he was saying. Love chandler but let’s get it tony! Imagine he gets on another streak and calls for khabib, the only fight I feel that could entice him out of retirement !!
Tony Ferguson: I'm fighting for something different now.
Press: What are you fighting for?
Tony Ferguson: Same thing.
F*ck I love Tony.
“Im just here smiling having fun”
“ im taking this very seriously”

@@Hspryd Do you know how to formulate a coherent sentence?
@@agi2160 He may not be fluent?
@@Hspryd who’s the best he beat? Not everyone is the best in history because they had a good run
None of the interviewers asked him about his wrestling or standup game and what improvements he made. It was a clear difference in skill level in last of his three fights either it was in jiujitsu, boxing or wrestling. What a shame I was curious to hear more from him but they wanted a prediction. Other than that more power to him for standing his ground. Hope the better man wins.
I swear I was thinking the same thing because I had my own questions I want to ask but at this point all these reporters and interviewers do is ask the same questions to every fighter
No one wanted to slip up and get themselves ankle picked.
It wasnt really a difference in skill level imo the thing that stood out the most was the difference in athleticism. Tony looked so slow compared to both olivera and Dariush. Look at how fast tony moves in the Barbosa fight, specially in the ground and then look at his last fights. Its night ans day.
He's training from his own gym. So no, he hasn't made the necessary adjustments.
@@sethiddings7293 LMAO
That first reporter asking questions is a pro at structuring them!
I love this man so goddamn much. I hope he wins and gets Conor next. I hope that he and his family are set for life and he can live his post-fighting days doing whatever he wants to do.
It really looked good the 1st round, I seen the Tony I haven't seen in 2 years. But Chandlers front kick would've knocked anyone out cold, talk about a kick from no were. An. Unfortunately it was on Tony's chin... Gotta love Tony Ferguson
Let's get real, if you'd really loved Tony, you would have wanted him to retire after watching the last few rounds vs. Gaethy.
@@RafiGish well... in a more just world, where the ufc pays their fighters well and has an insurance fund for veterans like tony, yeah. but that's a fairy tale world. in this world you get none of that. in this world your insurance money is a red panty night.

This man's far more intelligent than I thought he was. This man is playing 4D chess against the toughest opponent ever, himself...
I have a newfound respect for Tony Ferguson after watching this press conference
You mistake incoherence for intelligence
@@nothing-ei3oc it's likely, but because there are many gaps in his thought process, it doesn't he is not coherent, it may also be that he is asking you to fill in the blanks, read between the lines, keeping some mystery and not being so blunt to not piss everybody off at the UFC. It may be lazy to call someone crazy or incoherent.
@@passofar Is this the first time you’ve watched a tony presser? He wasn’t asking anyone to “read between the lines”, that’s just how his thoughts flow. Chaotic. Like his fighting style. Which while entertaining, doesn’t facilitate longevity.
@@nothing-ei3oc dude there is nothing chaotic or difficult t get about this particular press conference. He was, many times in the past, playing hard to get with people, trying to mix funny with stupid with F the world and indeed being incoherent. I really don't find this one in the same category. It's very clear what he is on about in this one, simple and straight forward.
@@nothing-ei3oc you can't expect him to be more clear than this without consequences in his relationship with UFC. Therefore the blanks.
This should be a podcast
Never been so engrossed in an interview before, that was a journey lmao
I Love Tony. Idk why but now I can feel his energy again. Wasnt been the same Since Gaethje fight but now looks like he got that thingy again
He's going to get a beating! Hope im wrong
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Win or lose I just hope he performs like the el cucuy we all know and love
So, imagine if Gaethje and Tony ferguson win in impression fashion. They might setup a rematch for the title. Gaethje vs. Ferguson part 2. IT would sell HUGE, and the fans would be so excited to see Tony get another shot at a title. Anyway I think Tony is actually going to win this. But if he doesn't win, there's a real chance that he takes brain damage in this fight.
Man is fearless
