Would Prime Tony...

[MMAProfessional]

Still lose to Dariush. I have a feeling he might. I'm not piling on and saying Tony was never good but looking back not many had a gameplan to get it to the ground. That and your BJJ doesn't get horrible like your stand up can get when you become old and slow. Castillo on here was a good wrestler...fought Tony to a split. The only other grapple heavy fighter was Lee who had success on the ground till he didn't. Tony got dominated 2 times in a row but decently leveled BJJ guys by pure control. Also pretty much got subbed but since it was an arm and leg lock you can keep going unlike getting put out by a choke. Hopefully they give Tony an easier fight but in the top 15 I see Gregor, Ferrieira, Makhaechev, Chandler, and Felder being guys who could implement a grapple heavy fight and have a good chance at winning.

Not a Tony fan but Tony was a top 5 and Dariush is ranked 10. Tony was never ever number one IMO but always top 5. So I feel Tony would have beat him badly 4 years ago.
