Tony Ferguson: "Barboza is a better fighter than Khabib 150%".

[legkicktko]

"He is always the one willing to sign on the dotted line."

He also confirms bulking to 201 in preparation for Khabib and having to switch strategies.

Just talk. Makes sense to hype up the current opponent. Both great fighters but I think Khabib is a tougher fight for most because of his grappling. I'm picking Ferguson to run through Edson and possibly KO him. I gave him a good chance vs Khabib too. I dont think it's unrealistic that Ferguson could be champ by the end of 2016

He's not one to hype up current opponents. Historically, he tears them down and speaks his mind to a cringeworthy degree.

strange outfit
dont like it

Barboza is certainly more dangerous.

I'll take your word for it as I havent seen many of his interviews and didnt watch his season of TUF. I disagree with him either way. I do agree that barboza is more dangerous though

 

[legkicktko]

Interesting to see the diverging styles.

Fergusons interviews are so intense and Barboza is completely relaxed.

 

[CageSage]

While I dont agree, I honestly dont know why people dont look at the Pat Healy fight for the wildly obvious holes in Khabib's game

 

[Danespina]

More dangerous but I don't know that he's a tougher fight. Eh maybe for a guy like Ferguson.

Or the Gleison Tibau one?

Better striker but not better fighter

Q.....qft

 

[1strikeclothing]

I don't agree.

 

[Tamriel Terror]

barboza is more dangerous in terms of finishing, however he has been caught before for not having great defense

 

[bjpenngoat]

interesting he is like Fedor in a sense that he has his own training that he does outside of the normal mma circuit. Dude is 9-1 in the ufc and he has looked unstoppable for the last few years. Id like to see him rematch MJ for the brass someday, both of these guys are on the rise big time regardless of that bullshit decision against Dariush.

 

[MTNinja]

He annoys me. Khabib would break him.

 

[Minnja]

I think it's a great matchup but I like both guys. Sucks to see that one of them will have a setback.

Ferguson trying to go the Conor Shit Talking Route. Nah.

By the way...

does anyone have an update on nurmagomedov?

Is he done or what?
