Lando Vannata Was Right, Tony Ferguson Is Predictable

[ChinaMMABlog]

This kid sounded super cocky ahead of his fight w/ Ferguson, but maybe he's on to something. From the Huffington Post ...

After his 'Fight of the Night' performance at UFC Fight Night 91, Lando Vannata is likely looking at a long future inside the Octagon. But should things not work out inside the cage, Vannata may want to consider a career as an MMA analyst; he’s already a perfect one for one when sizing up the competition.


Just days ago, Vannata (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC), the JacksonWink natural featherweight who jumped up a class to take on third-ranked Tony Ferguson (21-3 MMA, 11-1 UFC) on two-weeks notice, made headlines for calling Ferguson, one of the UFC’s most dynamic fighters, “predictable” and “easy to read.” And while Vannata’s sleight sounded ludicrous at first, Ferguson’s game actually played right into the underdog’s analysis.


Unfortunately for Vannata, the only thing predictable about Ferguson, aside from his wild and dangerous style, penchant for rolling into danger, and delivering entertaining fights, is his modified d’arce choke — the m’arce — a unique finishing move that has claimed two straight victims, and three overall, setting a UFC record.

I would like to know what he thinks about Khabib.

If he was so predictable, Lando should have been aware of the jab and the eventual choke:

keep reading after the jump. the story takes a turn, e.g. "the only thing predictable about Ferguson is his innovation"

He gassed, once his foot work went out the door it was down hill for him.
Can't wait to see him fight in his weight class at his ranking range (20-15)

Except that superman punch (and everything else that landed)

The guy did a great job but Tony didn't look predictable.

Can't wait to see him fight in his weight class at his ranking range (20-15)

This is his weight class. He's 5'9 with 71' reach. Current LW champion Alvarez is 5'9 and 69' reach and former champ RDA is 5'8 and 70 reach.

 

[smiles mma]

He's a feather weight.

This is his weight class. He's 5'9 with 71' reach. Current LW champion Alvarez is 5'9 and 69' reach and former champ RDA is 5'8 and 70 reach.

 

[McgreGOATsLeft]

He made T-Ferg miss a ton and wobbled him 3 times in one round so he was doing something right.

 

[CasterMard]

He's a feather weight.

Why did he fight all his fights at 155 then? He never made 145

 

[BSquared]

This is his weight class. He's 5'9 with 71' reach. Current LW champion Alvarez is 5'9 and 69' reach and former champ RDA is 5'8 and 70 reach.

No, see, you're confusing things. Weight is a measure of mass, not of length.

*Edit* I'm stupid. He fights at 155, apparently. Whoops. Oh well. I'll eat crow from anybody that saw the post before I edited. Anyhoo, he should fight at 145. He looked small compared to Fergusson.

 

[CasterMard]

No, see, you're confusing things. Weight is a measure of mass, not of length. He fights at 145 regularly. He could probably make 135. And he still nearly finished Ferguson in the first on two weeks notice, at 24 years of age, with only 8 pro fights.

His last 5 fights were at 155. Even against welterweights. Where did you get the data he fights at 145?

He's staying at 155 FUCK this dumb ass featherweight rumor is getting so out of hand. His last fight was at 170, he said he physically cant make 145. He did gas but thats what happens in ANY FIGHT LIKE THIS. You cant be in a constant firefight for a full round and get rocked multiple times and still have cardio, you're running on fumes here. Thats why guys like Lando and Conor will never go on to win 5 round decisions, but they will get lots of first round finishes. And Ferguson rocked him atleast twice in r1 aswell.

This is the 100th I've seen you post this. I can't imagine what you were saying after McQuitter lost too Diaz . "...BUT BUT BUT HE WON THE FIRST ROUND !!!"

There is something called the ignore button, use it if you don't want to see the facts.

 

[MMA]

He's a feather weight.

Vannata said he almost died making 146.5 and will never, ever, ever fight at FW.

 

[chiefwiggum]

This is his weight class. He's 5'9 with 71' reach. Current LW champion Alvarez is 5'9 and 69' reach and former champ RDA is 5'8 and 70 reach.

But he doesn't fight in that weight class .
Throw in dc and Hunts height and reach into your analysis.
