“He had his title shot and he freaking blew it. He tripped on a wire. That’s like, nature’s weeding you out. You’re being weeded out. You’re like a kid. Kids trip over things. Adults, like, you’re a professional athlete and you can’t not trip over a wire?"

“If that happened to me, if I had to pull out of a title fight because I tripped over a wire, you’re not hearing me talk s**t on Twitter at all. I’m gonna hide somewhere, I’m not gonna act tough. He’s acting tough. Right now, a middle school kid could kick the s**t out of him right now because he can’t do anything. You can’t talk s**t when you’re in the state that you’re in. That guy is so weird. He’s so weird.”


“Who cares about that guy?He’s really just good at fighting and that’s it. If it wasn’t for fighting, he’d be like a worthless person. There’s no point to Tony Ferguson besides people beating his ass. He gets dropped every fight and he’s out of his mind. People like watching get his ass kicked and come back and win. That’s the only thing that Tony Ferguson is good at in the world. No one likes personality, he’s a weird dude. Like, I don’t even know what’s the point in that guy? There’s no point. Just go away. You tripped on a wire and I got the title shot, now you’re gonna come at me? I’ve fought with worse injuries than that, guaranteed, in my career. You get to fight week, you’re fighting. You don’t pull out of a fight during fight week. Don’t come after me cause I took advantage of a situation that he couldn’t capitalize on. How many fights in a row has he won? 10 fights? And he still hasn’t fought for a title? Like, there’s a reason for that. No one likes you. Go away.”

So...
- Iaquinta had worse injuries than an ACL
- Tony is still on a 10 fights winning streak and 13-1 in UFC, losing by decision due to broken hand


What fighters would be worthless if not for MMA?

Iaquinta is a real estate agent
Conor would be a plumber
Stipe is already a fire fighter and a paramedic
Alexandr Emelianenko could be a baker
 
Good thing there is MMA then ?

Al seems a little dumb in this interview..
 
He's not wrong.

But you could say the same thing about lots of fighters.
 
No question Tony is a Grade A weirdo, but he'd beat Ragin' Al 10/10 times in a fight. So maybe not the right guy for Al to be talking shit about.
 
Everybody would be worthless if you take away what they're good at.
Funny thing is Iaquinta is more worthless than Ferguson who's a very entertaining and creative fighter. If Iaquinta ceased to exist neither MMA nor real estate would miss much.
 
Lol Al is

I like Al but that's pretty harsh criticism of a fellow fighter. Tony is a determined guy, I'm sure he would be good at something outside of fighting if he put the same amount of effort into it.
 
LOL That's like Pol Pot saying Hitler is a bad guy
 
stipe could be a fire fighter

rich franklin could be a math teacher

chuck liddell and matt hughs can be do nothing employees of the fertittas

chael can be a real estate agent with a side of prison stint

dillashaw could weed out rodent populations

team alpha male could star in a remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

al comes off as an idiot in this interview.
 
Al has a problem with everything. He has a problem with Kevin Lee saying YO instead of YOUR.
