UFC 249 On ESPN+ PPV [5/9] “Pandemic Of Violence” (Ferguson/Gaethje, Cejudo/Cruz, & More)

[Scott Larock]

That fight is going to severely alter Tony’s career. Guys are never the same after ass whippings like that.

Well Tony always looked like a drunken ninja fighting and he fought a straight, accurate puncher who knows how to counter.

What can he do at 36 with his off-balance style? He's gonna decline heavy like Pettis now.

 

[Kenny West]

Gaethje was so impressive there. Total annihilation.

I've never rated Ferguson the way some do. Sure he can take a beating but the fact we know that about him says it all. He's a punching bag. That and the fact he's crazy means he gets hyped to levels his actual MMA skills don't merit. Not saying he's a bum but he was never on the level of guys like Khabib or even McGregor. IMO.

You just didnt watch a lot of Ferguson to think that.

There are plenty of "get beat up, drag em to deep waters" Stamina fighters but ferg was never one of them. Dude has a technical game and is a grappler at heart.

Justin is just way more skilled with his boxing. Tony could only really catch him with pitter patter

 

[prince_peoples]

not making excuses for tony, but he should have never taken this fight


super long camp, training for a guy who style is way different for months

his handlers should have forced him to wait it out.

HOW IS HE ABLE TO TALK

Adrenaline and endorphins

When he wakes up tomorrow

nah tony is certified. he has top notch MMA skills that he didnt use in this fight. he wanted to kickbox with a brawler that leveled up from that.

great win for justin

How much is Tony gettin paid?

 

[Inertia Creeps]

Y'all saying Tony should've waited for Khabib haven't paid attention to the last 7 years of his career. Dana was never going to let him sit and wait like he does for his cash cows like Ron de Rousey and Mcnugget. If he'd turned this down he'd never have been matched with Khabib again; they already stripped him of his first interim title when he got injured instead of letting him wait and recover like they do every time Khabib has his annual Ramadan hiatus. This was his bag and he wasn't getting another one if he turned this fight down.

Congrats to Justin, fukk Dana White

Tony might never be the same again..If this was boxing it would have been stopped sooner.

 

[Conscious Pilot]

First Holloway. Now Ferguson. All those weird ass movement, great stamina, create-a-fighter builds can only take you so far before you get exposed.

Watch out now

 

[Bryan Danielson]

How much is Tony gettin paid?

Not the bag he would’ve had if he just waited for Khabib..... smh

 

[Lurk Angle]

The card was weird watching with no crowd

Also khabib is gonna retire champion

 

[KING WILL]

If G fought like this every time out he might be undefeated right now.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Damn, that was brutal. Tony will never get credit for not ducking this guy. He coulda just waited for Khabib. Conor lookin like a bish wit his actions.

ALLAH said no
