Media Khabib & Tony Ferguson HEATED Back n Forth TODAY

[randomg1t]

tony writes instagram post descriptions like a retarded 12 year old.

Tony was indestructible back in the day. I think he had a chance to win just by having the endurance and chin he once had, and those elbows.

he was very much desctructible, even during his 12 fight win streak.

lando dropped him like 5 times. lee dropped him. pettis dropped him.

he was getting tagged left and right long before gaethje scrambled his brain, and khabib would have taken him down and beaten the absolute shit out of him. tony's guard was basically to spam triangles and throw elbows, which he would have done for about 3 seconds before khabib passed it and then smashed him into a bloody pulp.

i was saying it every time the match up was announced, and i'm still 100% sure the outcome would be khabib locking up a kimura, tony refusing to tap, khabib snapping his arm and winning by TKO.

No one had anything for Khabib. However Tony would've pushed the pace. Crazy elbows from bottom, we'd see who had the better cardio. Lots of worse matchups than a prime Tony.


I agree. Sadly he was probably going to be broke if he fought Khabib too, but it would've been cool to see the unstoppable ground and pound vs the guy who has unlimited cardio and no quit.

Nothing lucky about a trained technique and strategy with a 100% success rate.

I take nothing away from Tony and that it was a fight that is unfortunate to not have been able to happen in its proper time.

Really doh…. How the fuck was anybody gonna stop him? Lucky punch all they got. Khabib goat

3 title defences, padded record with a tremendous amount of cans.
Retired in his prime, never moved up.
GOAT... smh.

Khabib earned his spot for sure, there is basically no one you could've thrown in with him and make him an underdog.

Biggest fight that never happened, who would had won during that time? Probably Khabib, but we will never know.

tony by then had memes of how he destroyed all his opponents faces, he could have been the first to make khabib bleed

we missed that

I'm pretty sure now the dust is settled Khabib would've destroyed the Tony that fought Gaethje. But if the fight came together when they were first supposed to fight, it would be cool to see Tony's cardio and game off his back test Khabib's top control. Tony wasn't the guy to just lay there and get controlled, he'd be throwing elbows or whatever he could do off his back.

Tony isn't doing shit from the bottom except getting his ass kicked.

I like how Tony is singled out as Khabib being an especially bad matchup...
Khabib was a bad matchup for just about everyone.

If you weren't a world class grappler, Khabib was going to maul you and you'd only have a puncher's chance. The only fighters Khabib wasn't a terrible matchup for were world class grapplers. And even some of them weren't enough. I think we saw from Islam-Charles that Khabib probably mauls Olives as well.

Tony's only chance vs Khabib was if they fought early - like 2015 which I believe was their first time - before Khabib matured in to his prime. Any version of Tony has no chance vs prime Khabib (2017 or so and on).

Yes, yes I am still mad we never got to see this

Not nearly as mad as Rickson vs Sakuraba

They both need to let’s this go , talking about each other is a little embarrassing

People who interview Khabib bring it up. It's not like he held a press conference himself and started talking about Tony out of nowhere

 

[RockyLockridge]

Lol heated just typically ramblings from tony

 

[VonSupervillain]

Why would a man who is constantly portraying what a badass and warrior he is use so many emojis?

 

[Milenkovic]

Nothing will ever beat this

 

[VinceArch]

This fight is too hard for the universe to handle.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

So Khabib needz to return & get an even number on his win record?

 

[nonoob]

I told him he needs to put a translation on the bottom of every post for all of us old cunts lol

Scary thought, Ferg's translation would then need a translation, then his translation's translation would need a...

gonna stop there Lemur, I'm gettin' dizzy.

Lmao..yeah Tony's would have to be broken down by mathematicians at M.I.T.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

I'm not a huge khabib fan but I legitimately feel this way also. Never understood the hype.

Think every logical MMA fan knew it'd be a mauling and an absolute ass whooping but we still wanted to see it because of the storyline, the cancellations, the unbeaten streaks on the line, etc.

Nothing lucky about a trained technique and strategy with a 100% success rate.

Possibly the single-greatest quote, to "clear the air" of this issue.

There is nothing "lucky" about a trained technique and strategy that ...

• Resulted in a 29-0 record for Khabib, who;
  • Never lost a round;
  • Never was knocked down;
  • Never suffered so much as a bruise or a cut.
• Has an implemented training regimen where his teammates also have the highest-percentage record of any other training camp in the sport.

Meanwhile, Tony = Tony. While Tony was successful early on, the truth about 'his' technique and strategy ...

• Resulted in a 25-11 record for Tony (okay, 25-3 when he was still on a roll, facing Cerrone). Meanwhile, even then, Tony;
  • Lost multiple rounds;
  • Was knocked down many times;
  • Was bruised/cut innumerable times.
• No one else adopts Tony's wacky training program (i.e., "Throw some sand ..." )

There is no denying that Tony Ferguson had an elevated fighting spirit, and a certain amount of technique.

However, let's realize there is NO DISCIPLINE in which Ferguson truly excels. (Not striking, not wrestling, not grappling.)

Tony Ferguson's fighting spirit allowed him to achieve an "almost" champion-level of prowess; but he never quite made it.
His embarrassing and perpetual skid shows that his technique isn't really there.

Right now, Khabib Nurmagomedov could roll of the couch and beat 99% of anyone in the WW division, on down.
Even the current WW Champion, Belal Mohammed, says Khabib "plays with him" ...

Meanwhile, the current Tony Ferguson couldn't whip one side of Belal.

The difference in TRUE QUALITY, between Khabib and Tony, is something even Ray Charles can see.

Who cares about two guys who will never fight and are actively finished with their careers?
