They had said something similar about Ronda.how do you expose someone with a 9 fight ufc win streak and has dominated strikers, grapplers and wrestlers alike?
Tony Ferguson's win-streak albeit impressive is nothing more than a house of cards about to cave in. Aside from his RDA victory he has looked very beatable in all of his fights - many of them against very subpar competition. In the RDA fight there could have been a number of mitigating factors which led to the poor performance from RDA... whether it be a poor weight cut, coming off a loss, USADA, whatever.
Tony Ferguson was being pummeled and was even full mounted by a very green to the scene Kevin Lee who had the most blatant case of staph infection on his chest. Staph infection is very serious and isn't on the Tito Ortiz "fractured skull" of excuses when a fighter loses. It is admirable that Kevin Lee even took the fight.
An infection of that magnitude will certainly sap your energy, and it is obvious that fatigue attributed to Kevin Lee's eventual downfall in round 3... it wasn't that Tony Ferguson was the better fighter...
If Khabib comes in healthy to this fight, and that is a big if due to the intensity of his training and his difficult weight cuts, then I do not see how this fight is competitive barring the puncher's chance (or in Tony's case, a spinning elbow, flying knee, etc) which is possible in any fight.. although I feel like Tony will be even more hesitant than usual in this fight when it comes to throwing his flashy arsenal of moves because it will result in being taken down. This alone will make Tony's gameplan more restrictive.
Can you imagine if Khabib has full mount on Tony - (it won't happen because Khabib likes to stay in more advantageous positions)? Or is able to dictate the pace for 2-3 rounds? Anything else will be number one bullshit.
Oh, oh shit. I thought it was a joke to play along with. Didn't realize I was dealing with a for real badass.
Lemme backoutoff real slow. We cool we cool.
Did you see Khabib fight Gleison Teibau? Many including me thought Khabib lost that fight. Why do people think Khabib is unbeatable?Tony Ferguson's win-streak albeit impressive is nothing more than a house of cards about to cave in.

Ronda is an Olympic Judo medalist. If that is not world class, I am not sure what is.

I am not comparing Ronda with men but rather saying Tony may very well be "Holly" of the division.I dunno what I find more hilarious in this situation:
a. you think women are comparable with men
b. your tag is the Fight “Professor”

Obviously Khabib and the entire division is at a much higher level. But Khabib's gameplan is similar to Ronda's - close the distance, clinch, go to the ground. Tibau was able to avoid most takedowns and should have won the fight. If Tony can do that or threaten Khabib with submissions, he will not have a plan B.Ronda was a one trick pony. Khabib is not. He's faced and beaten champions like RDA. You're comparing bums and cans with 3 or 4 fights who Ronda beat to UFC champions and contenders. You see how stupid that sounds?
Yes he's a grappler but it's not like he's Maia pulling guard and octagon crawling. Your comparison is as ridiculous as your tag.
If we didnt think ufc fights were competitive beforehand why we watch them

It literally takes 30 seconds to read a few paragraphs and process it. Fucking tiny ass attention spans these days. I blame video games. Take an adderall and it will all be okay.
