Tony Ferguson returns to fight Anthony Pettis at UFC 229

[Peelout]

What exactly was his knee injury? I thought torn ACL... never heard of someone coming back from that so fast.

Tony is a freak. It was a torn LCL if I remember correctly. 4 month recovery. Most people would take a year before they begin to fully recover but Tony is about to start a training camp. Insane. I hope he comes back looking strong.

 

[YouKnowWhat?]

Can UFC give Pettis an easy fight?

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Pettis getting fucked up again, going to lose that beautiful 1-fight win streak he's got.

Where the people saying UFC 229 is unimpressive??
Fuck yes. Now this is a Damn legendary card. The 4 best lightwieghts in the world.

Love Pettis but i think he's way in over his head for this fight. Tony is gonna go weird mofo on his ass.

I honestly wouldn't be suprised if Pettis tkos him outta knowhere tho. Or a submission. This fight is fucking awesome stylistically.

They have a little beef from 2016 too.

[Death By Samson]

I can't believe that Ferg is healed enough to fight already.

 

[Morning Star]

Winnable fight for Pettis, but I favor Ferguson.

 

[avillafilms]

easy win for ferg, title picture is crazy in lightweight damn

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Pettis looked good in his last fight. But I think TF takes this.

 

[Rondas Pillow]

LW Championship: Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor
HW: Alexander Volkov vs Derrick Lewis
LW: Tony Ferguson vs Anthony Pettis
FLW: Sergio Pettis vs Jussier Formiga
LHW: Ovince Saint Preux vs Dominick Reyes

I miss great cards like this. They’ll most likely move 1 or 2 of these fights off the main card and replace it with low level wmma bullshit though.

 

[XxWolfXx]

I called this!!

Pettis is a live dog here especially since Tony is coming back from surgery.

I still believe Tony wins, but there will be some insane and funky striking and grappling exchanges in this fight. Can’t wait.

My thoughts exactly..

 

[Grapplefest]

Ferguson beats him in any way possible, horrible matchmaking. Ferguson vs Iaquinta/Healthy Lee/Alvarez are much better fights.

 

[IMPmmath]

War Pettis Bros

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Fergie TKO 3.

Pettis looked good against Chiesa though but then again that was Chiesa.

 

[Gabe]

Damn Ferguson really takes on all comers. He’ll destroy Pettis.

 

[XxWolfXx]

This should be co main

 

[Boy God]

Pettis KO's this bum easily
