Ferguson's TDD has always been bad especially for someone with a wrestling background. He must have been good at reversals cause his TDD sucks.That's on him. Fighting the guy with the best BJJ in the division and saying "Fuck Jui-Jitsu" during a whole training camp is miles away from optimal. But honestly no TDD is what killed him in this fight. Oliveria threw him around like he had never trained wrestling. He was always going to be at a disadvantage on the ground with Oliveira but he really needed to force a standup fight in that matchup.
Yeah I knew he always struggled with TDD but I don't remember him just getting picked up at will and tossed by someone who is much more known for BJJ than wrestling. Considering who he was fighting that should have been (like defensive BJJ) a priority. It looked worse than ever IMO.Ferguson's TDD has always been bad especially for someone with a wrestling background. He must have been good at reversals cause his TDD sucks.
Oliveira's wrestling is greatly underrated IMO due to how great his submission game is and how most BJJ fighters tend to have weak takedowns. If you look at his stats though his success rate on takedowns is well above average as is his TDD.Yeah I knew he always struggled with TDD but I don't remember him just getting picked up at will and tossed by someone who is much more known for BJJ than wrestling.

So can we add ‘Enough Jiu jitsu Training Tony’ to the list like ‘Motivated BJ Penn’ and ‘Sea Level Cain’ ?
No need for excuses. Tony fought out his prime during his 12-0 run...many on here knew Charles was on his way up and Tony on his way down.
More delusional than trying to kill your wife because you think she’s a demon and chasing your toddler around dousing it in holy water because you think he’s Jesus reincarnated?Tony is one of those guys who’s definitely going to struggle stepping away. He’s starting to sound delusional
