Thoughts on Lee getting the fight instead of Khabib Nurmagomedov
“I thought they were using Lee as leverage for Khabib, you know, to get him to bite down on the contract. I mean, shit, you fans, I wanted the fight too. I mean, shit, even I think Khabib would actually lose the weight if he could get his shit together. I mean, Ali Abdelaziz, they said that they weren’t ready for the fight, which I think was bullshit. I think that the boy, I mean, literally you can only fight once a year? I mean, that’s bullshit, dude. Like I said, you need to retire. I’m running out of Team Tiramisu ideas. Tiramisu Tuesday is only good enough when you got quality stuff. But it is what it is and it’s not funny anymore, it really isn’t. You got a lot fans that are really disappointed in you and you’re… fuck dude, you’re disappointing yourself. You’re letting me fight a number seven (ranked fighter). You gotta be sitting on the sidelines hating your ass. You gotta be thinking, like, “shit, why the hell did I not sign on that dotted line? Why am I letting Ferguson fight Kevin Lee? Holy shit, Tony’s gonna get a belt and I’m not gonna get shit. I’m gonna be stuck here with that fake belt that I got when I fucken went to Russia and everyone gave one to me”. That’s what he’s gonna be saying, enjoying his team tiramisu like at the end of dodge ball when you have Ben Stiller eating that fucking ice cream fucken Chuck Norris.”
"Khabib, you’re a fat motherfucker, dude. You need to get off your lazy ass, go get on a bike and lose some weight and get into the actual fight game, get a dietician and do this shit, because honestly, I’m tired of hearing your fucking name. You’re in my weight class and you’re polluting this shit. You’re giving this name for the lightweight division a bad name, just like Conor McGregor. That bitch needs to defend or vacate and you need to make weight. So the two top guys that are in this division are a bunch of bitches. They can’t handle the shit professionally. I mean, McGregor, I have to give it to him, he’s handling his thing, he’s doing his own thing, but once I get this belt there’s nowhere else to run.”
Advantages over Lee and how he thinks the battle will play out on the ground
“I’m a lot better than him. My 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is a shitload better. And that’s the other part, he had the nerve to disrespect Joe Rogan and my coach. Motherfucker. He said something about 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu just kind of being there and being weird. So he’s not only just calling me weird but he’s calling Jiu Jitsu and fucken everything out there weird that’s not him and Mo Town fake. I’m tired of that bullshit. It’s time to put the fucking extinguisher on his flame.”
If Tony will be ready to fight McGregor in a possible December 30th card if he wins at UFC 216
“Absolutely. I believe that they absolutely need to. If that’s my belt and he has the belt, they need to unify both belts, fuck that Nate Diaz three shit. Both those bitches fucken, they want to try and act like they want to go and make money. Nate don’t want to fight, he’s trying to recover from a fucking hit that he took with his management and all that other things. McGregor’s gotta defend or vacate. He’s gotta defend that belt, he needs to come back. If not, there goes his legacy, there goes the UFC shit. I mean, really, legitimately, why do we have rankings? Why do we have a belt system? Why do we have all this other stuff?"
If Tony will be frustrated if Conor McGregor does fight Nate Diaz next instead of the interim champ
“In ultimate reality, I don’t give two fucks. The fight that’s the most important at hand is the one that’s most important and that’s the one motherfuckers need to get excited about, because obviously everybody fucking knows what the fuck I can do to Nate Diaz. And look, there goes my swearing jar. I haven’t acted like I needed to get my shit together for my kid, but like, straight up, you guys want me to talk about those other fighters? They’re a bunch of bitches. They want to go and they want to talk – look, we can fucking put this shit out on video and we can make this a money fight. If you guys really wanna get gangster, let’s do that shit. If you want to fucking put on money, let’s put it on paper, Nate. I will fucken Stockton slap the shit out of you kid. You don’t fucking know me, dude. Straight up. Same thing with Conor McGregor. You guys are a bunch if bitches, and you guys are a bunch of fakes, if you wanna fight while we’re here in the UFC, why don’t you come and sign on the dotted line after you get your shit together and defend your fucking belt, Conor.”
Shortened version of Tony’s prediction on how the fight with Lee plays out at UFC 216
"I’m always putting myself in different positions, you know, leaving my face open so I get hit, so the fans get the fight that they want, but I’m gonna give you fans the fight that you don’t want. I’m gonna give you the fight that it’s not me all bloody, it’s gonna be Kevin Lee’s blood all over the place, it’s gonna be my hand hitting him and his missing me and it’s gonna be me smiling inside that octagon and it’s gonna be me dancing the salsa moves and that Merengue and he’s gonna looking be around like, “holy shit, I can’t believe I just went to war with this kid”. Cause as much as I want to say that I hate the kid, I don’t. He’s an athlete. Do I want to kick his ass? Absolutely. But I respect him to where he’s gotten to where he’s at, but I said it in my interviews, his skill level is not there yet, and his calibre is not there. They rushed him into this one and it’s not my fault and he’s gonna get it October 7th.”
