The Tony of old would have turned that fall into a roll and been slick with it, but now it's just a fall and a splat
Yes, and it's also in slow motion. That's Tony's downfall - relying on quirky unorthodox attacks/scrambles and ignoring basic/"boring" fundamentals. It works when you're young and undamaged, but with age/injuries/slowing down, he is done for.The Tony of old would have turned that fall into a roll and been slick with it, but now it's just a fall and a splat
He'll be Mayhem Miller x 3. His wife said he had a meltdown and she woke up to him standing over her screaming that she was a witch among lots of other things. I'm predicting he does a Chris Benoit in 5 years.Tony has serious mental problems and it has shown in training and in life. I have a feeling he'll go down a deep dark road after fighting.
Never heard this, but that would be something Tony would think, 100%, El koo koo.I always wonder if Tony still has that computer chip implanted in his leg that some extraterrestrial biological entities did to him. People forgot all about that when he was arrested that time.
You don't hear him talk much about that implanted chip these days.
Paddy is in trouble

I could really see Tony going brutal old man mode and walking Paddy down.. but I think Paddy will just be too fast and wise to getting dragged into Tony’s game.
I get that the sentiment is that he should retire, which I completely agree with. Unfortunately I don't think that a beating from Paddy is going to achieve that. I think that might get him cut from the UFC, but he will probably sign with Bare Knuckle fighting or some low level middle eastern organisation where he will be KOd a couple of more times.Being a huge former Tony fan (who was rooting for him against Khabib at UIFC 209), I am hoping he gets beaten badly and he gets cut. He does not care about his health and lost all of his prime years chasing the wrong methods of training. For example, he claims he has never sparred with anyone since he had the Tibau fight. I mean, WTF? Anyway, his mental health is declining, and he has two little kids to raise. He has had issues with domestic abuse with his wife in the past due to mental issues. He lashed out at a reporter for questioning his DUI where he endangered other people's lives on the road. Yet, instead of taking responsibility, he lashed out at the reporter and tried to play the victim.
Hope he finds a new career (since he claims he went to Harvard recently for a business degree) and reinvents himself. This game is not for him and he cannot save himself considering he would need to be pushed out of the UFC for him to stop fighting.

Paddy is not ready for what's coming
