Tony in his prime broke his opponents. I just don't think he has it anymore due to age and waitn so long to fight khabib but damn do I miss him . He will always be one of my favorite fighters in UFC.
He looked significantly slower after the surgery. I feel like that was the beginning of the end. He didn't look as good against Pettis and Cowboy as he did against RDA and Barboza.
Yea he did look amazing against barboza, dos anjos and lee , but the two fights you just named were my two very favorite of tony , i rewatch them whenever i can ...he overcame adversity with pettis getting almost knocked out and came back like a champ, and against cowboy , he looked freakin amazing , so i really dont know what your talking about ...and yea he started losing after that against a new draft of crazy good fighter that were aiming for the belt , so i guess the drive and motivation against gaethje, oliveira , dariush , chandler and finally nate diaz (replacement), he was overwhelmed by that , and took great punishment against gaethje that changed him after ...tony is the kind of guy thay kills or be killed . Tony was Dana's favorite fighter to watch fight one time ...
On top of age two things led to Tony's decline. Firstly that horrific knee injury from the wire, which I feel he rushed himself back from with over training. Secondly cutting weight twice before the Gaethje fight which was a pretty dumb and fruitless move
@@ryquelwalker6209 If we are talking about the later rescheduled bouts then yeah khabib more than likely would have won by sub or ud. However the first 2 bouts they had, I think tony would have won those. He was in his prime and khabib was still young in the game
@@cassidyerickson7408 definitely a possibility, would have been a crazy fight. I know for a fact tony would have at the very least cut khabib open with a elbow.
Hope Tony retires after his next one even if he ends up winning. He's looked like a shell of himself his last few fights (other than round 1 vs Chandler)
I was such a fan of Pettis and really believed he was going to be a long lasting champion. I was still a fan even during the downfall, but seeing this fight announced had me so hyped. I wish this fight was able to continue. I do believe if it kept going Tony would have finished Pettis, even if his hand wasn't compromised.
The problem with Pettis was that he didn't want it as much as Tony. He was right about him. He was a quiting sometimes and that's why he was losing so much
Between the surgery and the damage taken, it was only a matter of time until it all caught up. The Gaethje fight sealed it though. Tony's still an absolute legend but needs to call it a career. Pettis too, but with Pettis I think it's always been an issue with his style. He should've adopted more of a wrestling base like I'm pretty sure he mentioned he almost did but his fights wouldn't have been as exciting. He's only 35, 36 and looks cooked.
Anthony does panic when he gets hit a little to much that's what makes him lose he is a bad ass he just needs to be more calm more work on his breathing more during the fight cause that's the only thing that's going to keep you head strong is oxygen to the brain make it think right
So annoying how every single cool strike thrown either Rogan or Dom says “Blocked 😐” and some weren’t even blocked. Don’t get it lol. Also the exaggeration on the fake cut on Tony’s mouth when it’s obvious it’s dripping from Pettis head onto Tony.
Sucha cringy call out,,, haha mcgregor would of jus picked his shots easily back them against tony ferugson,,, dropping him all night with the straight left
This fight was the writing on the wall that Tony was not going to be elite anymore. Pettis was shot and allergic to pressure and it was a war, Tony should have squashed him.
yup. injury was the cause, and this fight was the icing on the cake. anyways, Tony got the job done in one of the most violent way possible. Tony should have squashed him in the round one and got it done in 2.
“Good luck Tony!”
“Fuck luck!” 😂 TF is a living legend
This is when Nate vs Tony SHOULDVE fought. Both were nearing the end of their primes and might’ve even put on a better fight than this one.
Their fight was pathetic as a PPV main event. Both looked so bad.
@@davidpineda9160 Looked like two middle aged guys on the street fighting
Nate would’ve died that night
Nah, tony vs Nate after 3 fight losing streak.
Tony would have won via doc stoppage in 1st tbh

Yeah but still, here he is confident of his chin and way quicker and stronger, he's mentally and physically so washed now, BJ Penn levels

Tony was Dana's favorite fighter to watch fight one time ...
yeah people think the pettis and cerrone fights was tony in his prime. he really wasn’t.
@@sylvaindescoteaux4208 I agree

Man the fact that we never got to see tony vs khabib in their prime is one of life’s biggest bull sh!ts.
Khabib would have beat tony would have been fun tho
If Beneil controlled him the way he did, I don't see Tony doing anything to Khabib even if he was in his prime
@@ryquelwalker6209 If we are talking about the later rescheduled bouts then yeah khabib more than likely would have won by sub or ud. However the first 2 bouts they had, I think tony would have won those. He was in his prime and khabib was still young in the game
@@Ron-kq5pk so true but I think he would've won after he fought Lee and was the champ
@@cassidyerickson7408 definitely a possibility, would have been a crazy fight. I know for a fact tony would have at the very least cut khabib open with a elbow.
Had to watch this one to see what the old Tony really looked like...
This isn’t even The best version of tony, RDA or barboza fight is the best tony
CASUAL ALERT
@@jasonfrancis3264 My friend I wish to remember the good times, not experience them for the first time
Prime tony would never loose to nate
Or Chandler Gaethje dariush
Exactly, and he would’ve mutilated Conor and been the first lightweight to make Khabib bleed.
It is heartbreaking to see how awesome he was and where he is now. Mentally and Physically destroyed.
He was never mentaly hurt , he is happy with himself and he's family .Dana can't let him even after 5 loses cos fans woud be mad.
Uhh no, he's def taken a ton of damage,and tbh I'm surprised he's even wanting to still fight
why would you say he is mentally and physically destroyed
*Fony Terguson is the type of guy to say “I’m not gay. My boyfriend is”.*
one of the best fights ever imo, showed what good stand up they both had and it showed how damn good Tony was
Why is Tony warming up like if he’s gonna go play basketball 🤣
tony the type of guy to do that
Pettis toughness is so damn underrated, legend.
wheaties box guy
@@jasonfrancis3264 fr what a beauty
No it's not. He quit lol
@@cassidyerickson7408 and his corner stopped him not himself
He is the 1 who got his corner to quit
I miss prime Tony 😢😢
still in his mental prime in this fight, which is 70% of it for him
Sucks Tony will never be recognized as an undisputed champion :(
who cares the belt is fake abyway
He was the champ while Conor was playing touch butt with Mayweather
Pettis in his prime was such a great fighter. Wasn’t the same after losing the belt.
Who did he lose the belt to?
@@RobinHoodKelzz1234 prime RDA!! No shame in that.
@@nikeettg5613 the fuck are you tlaking about he lost it to justin and he smoked rda
still will alway love Tony,true warrior
Never was a big fan of Tony but God damn did I love watching him fight he's a legend no matter what
Hope Tony retires after his next one even if he ends up winning. He's looked like a shell of himself his last few fights (other than round 1 vs Chandler)
Battle of Anthony's. Great fight.
Lmfaoo word for word the exact callout he said when he beat Kevin lee😂😂
did a head roll in the middle of his fight lmfao

You’re the 🐐🐐
Nah he's the ⛴️⛵

love these
Tony was a fuckin beast.
Good man
Tony called him a quitter and then made him quit lol. Prime Tony was such a fucking butcher.
Legend 👹
Submits Charles Olivera but Losses to Ferguson and KO's Stephen Thompson?
styles make fights.
What a war
Bet Tony really thought that “McNugget tiramisu Pettis” line was slick asf😂
at weight in's ...
journalist - ''good luck tony''
tony - ''fuck luck''
Repost hehe , nice vid tho
Hope tony come once again with a winning streak and made a some guys ghost ❤
6th October let’s wrestle
At 3:35 you can see that Venum almost didn’t change nothing for the new sponsorship for the UFC 😅
4 years destroyed tony
Love how pettis trainer has a Celtic top on lol
Lmao even the editor of this was trolling Ferguson.
🍿🏆inspiration
damn this Tony is gone
12:15 is what I would show somebody asking me what kind of person Tony is
uhm, the type of guy to play Elden Ring in real life?
12:13 who does a double spinning elbow when gets rockeed awsome
People saying "prime Tony would do X" like he's the new prime motivated karate-stance McGregor.
Time change for tony Ferguson, hurtful to see tony in this position dismentled
pettis literally looks like nate and tony combined
Eddie grilling tony on new tower 7 information after the stoppage
00:07 anyone know the song name?
Tony isnt overrated by any means but his downfall was rapid and vast but anyhony pettis was really such a great competitor
He said he a quitter I guess he wasn’t wrong
Anthony does panic when he gets hit a little to much that's what makes him lose he is a bad ass he just needs to be more calm more work on his breathing more during the fight cause that's the only thing that's going to keep you head strong is oxygen to the brain make it think right

The fight that never happened and the fans wanted so bad 6 times got canceled lol khabib vs tony ferguson
Tony is cooked
I miss when Tony was successful :(
He still is even though he’s on a loosing streak he’s making over 600k every fight
Here to see if he was less weird back then.
Man Tony might as well have his picture next to the word "weird" in the dictionary
CTE
I've watched the embedded for this so many times and everytime I've noticed how Cocky and Conceited Petis was during this time it was very annoying
Sucha cringy call out,,, haha mcgregor would of jus picked his shots easily back them against tony ferugson,,, dropping him all night with the straight left
So sad how uneducated you are. It’s a shame
Really Tony……a tanning booth?
This was writing on the wall. Khabib would of crushed him in this state
Megan olivi so damn bad
Justin ruined Tony
This fight was the writing on the wall that Tony was not going to be elite anymore. Pettis was shot and allergic to pressure and it was a war, Tony should have squashed him.
Also physically he looks much stronger and quicker here compared to say the Beneil or Charles fight, his body looks like shit since the Justin fight.
Facts
yup. injury was the cause, and this fight was the icing on the cake. anyways, Tony got the job done in one of the most violent way possible. Tony should have squashed him in the round one and got it done in 2.
What the fuck is Tony ever talking about?
Tony listening to music in the face off was VERY cringy...
