*Tony "El Cucuy" Ferguson: Overrated?*

[Seiryoku Zenyo]

Ferguson has an unorthodox, fun to watch, striking game. Plus he has slick submissions.

But he also gets hurted, he isn't a guy that would dominate his opponents ala Khabib. His fight with Barboza was pretty even before the sub.

And he hasn't faced UFC's elite LWs.

So, people like him just cause he's fun to watch? Good good is him? How good is him compared to Khabib or RDA?

Very good is him, very good.

His style is awesome to watch but lends himself to some seriously bad circumstances. It'll be interesting if he changes his DGAF approach against Khabib, because Khabib will take advantage of some of those errors.

 

[Davey Crockett]

He's good. Still don't know why he asked that guy on ultimate fighter where his kid was. Must have been because he was on tv or something

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

He is not overrated, he is very skillful and talented. Khabib is the one who is overrated, he couldn't even beat Tibau, he lost that fight, don't care what the judges say. His striking is so sloppy. Tony is gonna choke Khabib out.. end of 1st round

 

[Kwic]

He is a beast. Taking those kicks from Barboza and not even flinching and then getting that sub, dude is tough.

 

[Paynebringer]

Him good! Him real good...

 

[Me&MrJones]

He's indeed a fighter that I want to see due to his style.

I really don't know how Khabib will do after 2 years of no fighting.

6 inch reach advantage might favour him but he'll probably be on his back most of the time.

No - he isn't.

Hendo vs Machida should be headling...I had to explain to my wife that the card was worth watching because of the Hendo and Rashad matches, because she is a casual and had no idea about the fighters in the main event. Name recognition dammit!

 

[Deleted member 502383]

He's a terrific fighter and if his stand up and submission game proves to be enough to oust Khabib which is something I'm unsure of then I'd expect him to finish RDA.

 

[ArtemV]

He has good illegal upkicks

 

[johncola]

He's good at everything even if he's not the best in any one area. Good striking, good wrestling, great subs, big for the division, lots of power, great chin, mentally strong, aggressive, and very unorthodox and unpredictable. And he's one of the most exciting fighters. I don't like his personality but I can forgive that for how great a fighter he is.

 

[Siauliai]

I'm not a fan but the last two in his fight to open up my eyes that he really can become a champion , and his amazing technique unpredictable

How is he overrated when he owned the current champ? Rda literally had nothing for him... And if you're gonna bring how long ago that was, you might as well delete your tibau comment now.

 

[SwagJuice]

Absolutely not.

 

[JollyRants]

7 fight win streak in the toughest division equals overrated okay.

You must have not watch the first Machida/Hendo fight

 

[NaughtyBoy]

It is that all fighters in the MMA world are overrated ?

 

[Sonny Qc]

He's good good!
