Tony gets hit every fight. Thats why I was always shocked at Conor running from him. He seemed tailormade for him.

But on the real, I think Tony can bounce back. But he probably needs to take the rest of the pandemic off to recover from that ass beating.
tony's wife put out a restraining order for his crazy ass after he was throwing holy water on her :mjlol: dude was losing his mind and dana had to do everything he could just to keep him steady for khabib

he might be done.

Told y'all I had a feeling. Just seeing gaethje take a more measured approach in the barboza fight I had a feeling he probably could take it.
Plus Ferguson doing shyt like cutting weight when no fight was around even for him was pretty stupid. That shyt wears your body down

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.
We gotta get some reasonable standards on our use of the term "exposed".

Max gonna retire a hall of famer and nikkas talking about exposed.

The post fight hot takes really brings out everyone huh

like said earlier that was a bytch move that Tony initially pulled at the end of the fight when Justin went in for the hug, but he made it right minutes later ... that initial reaction after getting destroyed like that and being used to NEVER losing likely fukked with his head in those initial moments.

I mean real talk tho, Furguson ain't no bytch ... never seen a fight like that where one guy takes THAT many vicious KO blows and STILL keeps coming back like nothing happened .... even after Herb stopped the fight, Tony was still on his feet ready to go .... shyt is wild

i think gaethje sleeps khabib
One thing about Khabib, he gives all of his opponents the ultimate respect. I think he realizes that Justin is a bad match up for him and trains his ass off with a spectacular game plan. Trust, he will not be caught slipping taking a fight easy.

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

He does have top notch skills but never the best in the business type skills like a Khabib, Jones, Mighty Mouse type dude where they were just clearly on another level to the rest but never stopped dudes talking about him like he was.

yep. someone like GSP would have aborted mission and took that shyt to the ground. Tony did not, and that's not what greats do. Its MIXED martial arts. bytch if you're getting tooled in one art, swallow your pride and use your other fukking weapons. GSP was a master of this.
exactly. no level changes, just 5 rounds of him getting caught by counters. Imanari roll attempt shouldve came in the earlier rounds, or a regular ass takedown attempt/trip which undoubtedly throws gaethje off balance.

Pride hinders greatness

Incredible win streak and getting up in age... not mad. not how i pictured him going out but it is what it is

tony still creeps me the fukk out. if justin didn't absolutely destroy his legs, body, and brain then tony would've absolutely continued. zombie king.

Justin a wrestler, its arguably his base. shyt was probably gonna be ugly there too.

When mentally on point I dont think Tony can beat this version of justin. :yeshrug: its really a miracle he made it this far
