In your opinion, what fighters atm are the best/most creative at fighting through adversity?

[Dan177]

Out of all active fighters who would be your top 5 best/most creative fighters during adversity in a fight?

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Hate to say it but Juicey Jones seems to hit another gear.......lol

 

[Sweater of AV]

 

[VVarhead]

1. Tony Ferguson
2. Darren Elkins
3. Jon Jones
4. Robert Whittaker
5. Robbie Lawler

There's more, though. Yoel, Izzy, Gastelum just to name a few.

 

[Redwood101]

Whittaker, probably. Surviving not one, but TWO five round fights with Romero when Whittaker had an injured limb is insane. You'd never guess from his demeanour he'd be such a savage in the cage!

 

[Dan177]

The boogeyman would be my first choice as well

 

[NinjaSkillZ]

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Jon
Porier
Ferguson
Holloway
Khabib

 

[HHJ]

FEDOR THE MAGNIFICENT

 

[hbreakfriday]

1. Ferguson
2. Derrick Lewis
3. Whittaker
4. Masvidal
5. Cejudo

Agreed. one leg, and he FUCKED ROMERO UP

Yoel is good at finding new ways to fight through adversity (being gassed, usually).

grabbing the cage... spilling ice on the cage floor... having his corner superglue his stool to his shorts so the fight can't continue until they manage to get it off... etc

 

[Redwood101]

2. Derrick Lewis

Great answer

 

[Wormwood]

 

[andmcq]

Ben Askren.

 

[NinjaSkillZ]

 

[Sam's UFC title reign]

Tony Ferguson, Anthony Pettis, Zabit, Whittaker, Masvidal, Jones, TJ

 

[Dan177]

Jon
Porier
Ferguson
Holloway
Khabib

Khabib? We haven’t seen him in any serious trouble really tbh which is a testament to how good he is

 

[Dan177]

Some of the shit tony does in the cage is funny

 

[kalabula]

This is the first thing that came to my mind and probably a lot of others. When he gets hurt he doesn’t even try to clinch or take the fight to the ground. He just kind of rolls out of it. It’s weird but it works.
