Tony talking about being at peace then proceeded to be angry at every question 😂
With the stupid questions John Morgan and the rest of those media fools ask can't blame him for going off on them 🤦♂️
He's the type of guy
"I am just here to have fun...hold up I'm talking. You think this is funny??? The UFC sucks!!"
@@josiahgonzalez942 You're one of those fools huh?
thats' tony
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to ask John Morgan the first question
Good one !!
🤣😂
… and then answering the question he asked, before immediately answering 4 questions that nobody had ever asked… 🤣🤣🤣
Stop copying other people's comments. Be original bro. Smdh
Missed these Tony’s the type of guy comments
when Tony said “Im waiting for insurance" you could feel the whole room sink a bit knowing what Tony has been through. We forget these fighters kill themselves for this sport. Tony is real as fuck
ESPECIALLY when he brings up the FOX fall and the way he was treated after he shattered his knee and lost his title. Insane.
Most of them are thick as shit and couldnt do anything else, theyd be in jail or working in tesco, i think they should appreciate they can make money from fighting
Remember this is the guy that said he was a turtle
They have no other skill sets
@@george5277 Michelangelo is his favorite
One of the most honest and open interviews I have ever seen. Wining or loosing he will be always a champ 😎
He seems to just point the finger and blame everyone but himself for his recent shortcomings?
@@jackcooper3307 No plane ride when he was injured was pretty f-ed up. If that was real, then it's a sign of the lifestyle he had there.
@@jackcooper3307 he's pointing the finger at the business side of the ufc because he's pissed off with how they want to try treat him. People have short memories and easily forget who he is. Dana doesn't have to do shit about pay. I'd contest with Dana if he thought my value wasnt as high as he wants 😂 who does he think he is
@@DwarfDt
I am less than 2min in and he's blamed his coaches and Khabib already. He does seem to point the finger a bit.
Tony’s the definition of never let them know your next move verbally and physically 🤣😭
underrated comment
I was gonna comment this lmao
He telegraphs nothing. I love his shout out to Jesus Christ
For real though always coming out left field
@@joshuasmith6346 haha i though about Jesus carrying the cross, he didn’t give up haha
Tony went off on about 3 trillion tangents when answering questions and this is exactly why we love him!
Never was a fan of his until now 😂 😂
@@incogmeato4318 why
Meth will do that to you
@@incogmeato4318 You must have been sleeping then, because this is what he's always like
@@TheTruthTalker_ na it always takes a bit to like Tony
He ramped the intensity up REALLY fast. I love Tony, he's a genuine guy.
Tony is the type of guy who motivates his fans even losing 3 fights in row to comeback strongly
Legecy💯✌
The "Hold on brother I'm talkin" is so iconic🤣 gotta love Ferguson man
Goat
Fanboys lmao….fact is it almost got him murdered.
Don’t make me ankle pick you
@@artoficial1445 And it was funny.
@@seanmatthewking 😂😂
4:44 Tony gives the audience permission to laugh
Literally
😂😂
hes just that type of guy
I've never heard Tony being this profound and real. I think he's far more intelligent than people realize. He's always been portrayed as a weirdo.
He is showing signs of psychosis. That's why he seems so weird. That's why he did all that sht with his wife. If he continues to fight? You will see this guy crash and burn.
He is actually very spiritual and emotional. He is a typical American in this day and age. Growing up thinking things were one way and meeting some very inspiring people and then you get to the real world and its full of shit and people that don't care about you and only want to profit off you and throw you away when your better days are behind you. That is not American and people are speaking out and things WILL be changing.
@@OSYofRR this comment was so embarrassing lol
@@OSYofRR lol this is the real world and the real america, you think america was built on peace and kumbaya? like any empire it was built on war, blood and tears, broken treaties and broken laws, on might and misfortune, its far from the worst and better than most but like all it has its far from pretty bits mixed in its past.
@@MusMasi I am not asking for reparations or anything silly like that but the greed has reached an all time high and it seems to me looking around the money is not going back into infrastructure or maintaining things. We have a political/ corporate merger that has been increasing for years now and without going into depth about economics and why our federalist system worked, the two cannot coexist.
If you are at the top or part of the new world government then you might like it but like all socialist systems they eventually fail. Everyone thinks they have the answer and why it will now work, technology has increased or we now have a blueprint etc. You have no idea how many people bureaucratic permitting regulations and unjust NDA's cost loving Americans who would have put back into the system and not game it or milk it and ship wealth overseas to other economies. With your apparent attitude I think you could appreciate taking care of our own first. Look at the projects in Philadelphia or Chicago, looks 3rd world. It will eventually become a bigger problem. We have seen the riots and nothing has really changed.
I just love listening to Tony ... he’s different, charismatic, smart , I feel his best fighting years have passed but not his story telling ... all the best man 👍🏻
Arrogant and annoying
He had a career in broadcasting if he plays his cards right, talking trash about the UFC isn't helping
I missed Tony man. What a legend
So refreshing just to hear him talk
Really hope Tony overcomes his challenges and comebacks stronger than ever. Always respected him.
COMES BACK*
He’s been through a lot and foought so much worse. Company doesn’t respect him because he speaks his mind but him and cowboy are legends and deserved to be treated as much
@@rquintero3 They gave Cerrone a Mcgregor payday, he has been treated as such
@@rquintero3 he speaks his mind, sometimes it's hit & miss though. Misses the point sometimes, so he's misunderstood.. comes off as crazy to ppl, like he's already got cte, but he's been like that from the start even during tuf. It doesn't shine the best light on the sport. But he ain't lying, he's pretty dead on here actually (mostly).. They did do him dirty too.
He’s too old and taken too much damage I’m afraid
“Opportunities exist when we create them” - Tony … So true
This some the realest and saddest shi I ever heard…. Tony says it how it’s is. Been like that since we were introduced to him on season 13. Badass and well deserving
If unpredictability was a superpower, Tony would definitely pose it 😂 Either it’s fighting, talking, walking or joking, this man is unpredictable AF
Finally it's here .
*czcams.com/video/93Fyv4XAr-A/video.html*
He even sits the wrong way on a chair 🤣 gotta luv tony
@@danj420xbox Na man, the chair sits the wrong way on Tony! lol
Your name is familiar rollo
He's predictable. Makes excuses from r losses and then shows his mental health issues. Nothing unpredictable about that
There’s no doubt that Tony should’ve got an actual championship fight at some point during his 12 fight win streak… outside circumstances don’t matter, he fucking deserved it! We love you Tony, Go get this WIN brother 👊
He did get championship fights… just never made it to them
@@richardcrawford1859 no if that was conor he could get a title shot if not 1 fix fight and then boom
Tony got MULTIPLE title shots.
Outside circumstances DO MATTER
Tony officially had the title shot and tripped over a cable while wearing sunglasses indoors.
The way he speaks gives me a semi
Literally not a single current champion apart from Usman has a streak that long
Love Tony. Such a unique character, entertaining fighter and wild man. Glad to hear him speaking up for the fighters. The fact they don't have health care when they retire from the most violent possible sport is criminal.
Real crime is America not offering free health insurance
I completely agree man.
@@Anduresu they should get more than basic health care, their bodies are destroyed.
He's also an asshole to people just asking a question
So you want them to get paid even less?
"I don't need to pump myself more than I have too, I did that through strength and conditioning" 😂😂😂😂😂
He is telling the truth
I didnt expect this from Tony, but he has every right to be angry at the organization
He is a future member of the Hall of Fame and I support him 100%
Also not putting him on that poster is soo disrespectful
yea him and chandler should be on that poster.. rose dont deserve it honestly
@@EAGLEVISION666 getting ur ass beat 3 times straight & want to be on poster...?
He hasn't won a fight in close to 3 years And has lost his last 3 fights.. So exactly what does he deserve? Lol
Lose 3 fights in a row and expect to be put in the back burner. Stop using race as an excuse. Plus Ferguson is the whitest last name! Give me a break with that bullshit
@@EAGLEVISION666 rose doesn’t deserve it? rose is arguably the greatest straw weight of all time and the current champ
"Hold on brother I'm talking" - that shit cracked me up.
One of the personalities that make UFC great, thanks Tony
Well that was the most realest 24 minutes of any ufc press conference. Had respect for Tony anyway but just made me life long fan. Love the words you spoke mate so genuine 👍
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to introduce Bruce Buffer
Tony the type of guy to make u believe in him even after lossing three fights ♥️
Nah, just you and 94 idiots. Chandler is gonna knock him senseless just like Justin did. I'm really afraid Tony's taken to much head damage!

Tony legit sounds like himself here
Lol the fact this comment is normal speaks volumes to where tony had been mentally 🤦♂️ want him to get a dam win already but It's hard to see
Yeah batshit crazy
His response to john about dana white privilage was hilarious!! Tony seemed genuinely pissed he even brought it up
Weak move.
Didn’t Tony come up with Dana White privileged?
@@kayilla6413yes literally a joke he made at a previous presser which made everyone laugh.
@@mastablasta757 might have been a joke but the root of that joke is not funny.
@@JankyBoost ,you are a type of person to assault someone over a joke!
I knew I missed this guy in all aspects but didn't realize quite how much... what a bloke. Man I hope he wins.
Tony is the type of guy to show up to his press conference and ask you questions
Tony is a classic example of asking someone where they’re going and they tell you where they’ve been
What??? 😂
Diago Sanchez 2.0
Literally has nothing to do with this vid. The first 5 minutes of this were gems he was dropping and yet y’all don’t listen. Francis fought gane for 600k and now Dana doesn’t want to pay him what he deserves. That is so sad and controlling. Gaethje makes 8-10x what Francis does. Let that sink in. Jon jones has only made 7 million in his entire career in the ufc. Let that sink in. The most dangerous 2 combat fighters in the worlds career earnings are multiple times less than guys who aren’t even champ
@@kjguidry839I’m so sorry this is happening to you
@@kjguidry839 and why do you think that is? Because there's some big conspiracy against Jon Jones in the UFC? Maybe if you'd take some time to dig a little deeper, you'd realize there's more to it.
The game will not be the same without Tony.
Yes it will.
@@Jack-ur7mq was waiting for a lame ass comment. You didn’t disappoint.
Tony is the MAN!
@Levi Puga could still destroy you with one hand and blindfolded. Keep your negative comments to yourself clown
We have Jiri
I've just gained so much respect for Tony now. Full of class and heart here! Much respect Tony
After all said and done Tony is STILL wearing his dark sunnies to a presser. Always a boss man!
This dude is pissed for all the right reasons.. he deserves so much more! Straight warrior!
It’s all his own fault
Going against high level fighters without main coach and real camp, kinda his fault
"hold on brother, im talking" Its funny when fighters are self aware of memes and things like that
He sold a merch t-shirt with that quote. He's aware of it.
Epic interview.. wish the best for this guy.. respect brother
Tony is a timeless treasure. They gotta find a way to get him on the broadcast team when he wraps up his illustrious career.
Calling the owner a “ drug dealer “ won’t help
He is finished after that KO.. Time to be an analyst and retire..
There’s no fighter who deserves a belt more than Tony. I know he had these losses, but 12 fight win streak, freak accident, Khabib retired. This guy got screwed so bad. The redemption arc in his story if he can get back to the top, then win the belt would be unbelievable
I love Tony, but he isn't winning no belt, that ship has sailed.. If he gets smoked by Chandler he really needs to retire!
I'm worried about his future health smh..
He has taken a ton of damage whether he won or lost and it's piling up!
Good Luck Tony on Saturday but if u lose in a bad way, then please retire bruh and think about ur future man!!
God Bless 🙏
@@beverlypatama8148 12 fight win streak, 3 losses. Don’t write people off so easy. Yeah, he is getting up there, but look at how old the LHW champ is. 42
@@beverlypatama8148 Tony did win the interim belt, it should have been promoted to undisputed but Dana stripped him
@@hardassteel I know he did! But i don't look at interim as the "real" Champion!
U have to beat the Champion to be the Champion! And Khabib was the champion and IMO u can't call yourself the Champion unless u took his belt from him in the cage..
I love TF and he accomplished alot in his career but as far as the Undisputed Lightweight Champion Of The World, he wasn't...
I'm very worried about TF though, he is shopworn badly IMO, and i fear for his health and safety going forward!! (He seems a bit delusional anymore idk)..
U are not going to get better at 38 years old, and ur not ever going to be the fighter u once were at this point!
If he gets smoked by Chandler, i really hope he retires and moves on in his life! ( I do however feel like Chandler is a good stylistic matchup for him though)..
P.S (Ferg should not of been stripped of his interim belt though, that was complete BS by the UFC)..
God Bless 🙏
@@CRASS2047 Glover Teixeira has not took the amount of damage TF has!
Ferg has taken massive amounts of damage in his fights, win or lose!
It's not about writing people off, it's about common sense and fear for his health and safety!!
God Bless 🙏
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to be equally entertaining at the cage and at the presser. What a legend. We really need to cherish this final run.
Tony should get a standing ovation every time he enter’s or leaves a room
There will never be another Tony Ferguson
Tony: one of the very few fighters to genuinely put a smile on my face.
Once he started talking I wanted to cry after I realized how much I miss him.
Win or lose, I just wanna see him do well. I can't even think about his last 3 fights without getting emotional. He didn't just lose. It was like the end of an era. I really hope he puts on the best performance possible and at the very least get a FTN bonus. Hope he has prepared well. Chandler is not an easy fight for anyone!
Ok
Forever will always be Tony time💪 12 fight win streak in one of the toughest divisions, Fergusons legacy is set already
Finally it's here .

Khabib killed his own dad with his cowardice by bringing covid to daggotstan
Top 10 p4p lightweight right there
Yeah he fought tomatoe cans
@@therodentryresistance95 not top 10. Top 5-6.
I’m literally walking in Tony’s shoes. I wrestle for GVSU and I was ranked #1 and a week before Nationals. Unfortunately I tore my MCL. Next year I will be back with a vengeance. Last year I got COVID 2 weeks before Nationals when I was ranked #4 in the nation for Juco at 174. I lost to two all Americans on points and I knew in my heart if I didn’t get Covid I would’ve earned the NJCAA all American status. Next year I will be back with a vengeance and I will take what’s been stolen from me.
Keep on working hard and don’t doubt yourself bro, i havent been injured but i have bounced back from losses in wrestling as well
@@Blessed.Fighter yeah man I’m keeping my head up for sure, I was beating the kid badly before the freak accident. I’ve been wrestling for 16 years and never got seriously hurt, I’ll be all good 👍

Not really I mean he came in stoked and then brought up the bad side of the fighters not getting paid correctly and how he’s waiting for insurance. Just because there is good and bad being stated by Tony don’t mean that he’s a roller coaster of emotions. Besides all and all he was mainly just speaking from his past experiences. Don’t see what you mean brah.. Good and bad don’t mean what you’re tryna say
Tony's been watching some pro wrestling. The entertainer/story teller line is straight from pro wrestling. Tony was on FIRE with all the bars in this one!! Glad my boy's back!

Exactly. That guys head is insane.

Good way to phrase it
SO TRUE

One of the most honest interviews I’ve watched in a couple years!
By far Tony Ferguson is the only fighter that can lose, disappear and receive just as much love and respect once he returns. Didn’t even realise how much I missed him until I started this conference
One of the few interviews that I've watched the whole thing ever
Morgan: Dana White Privilege
Tony: "That sh*t wasn't funny"
Morgan sh*ts his pants
Tony: Now that's funny
John Morgan: Is it more exciting to fight the guy with Dana white privilege?
