Why don’t the ufc just bring in a guy for Tony?

[Megatronlee]

I don’t understand why they don’t do this more often.

Just bring in a Thomas denny kinda character and have Tony win and then everyone is happy.

Bonus question :
would the Tony who fought nate beat chiesa?

 

[Luthien]

I Imagine that Tony still thinks that he is getting a TS after a win
Probably would go postal if they tried having him fight a guy not in the top 10

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Why doesn't the premier, best of the best organization have someone crap enough for Tony to beat?

 

[TrueBias]

The fucker needs to stop. His mental fun problems were an edge, but now it seems hes got some screws loose.

The only thing I can think of is keeping him on to replace a hurt fighter.

Still, paddy beat him, chiesa beat him, dabbling in 170...enough.

 

[Swamp Rat Jones]

Because Stephen Hawking already passed away 6 years ago.

 

[m249viking]

Maybe one of the women?

 

[Colemanstove]

If he fights again how about vs a WWE wrestler coming over tonight UFC.

[whocares]

Pretty sure they could've had him fight at hologram at the Sphere. Bad matchmaking once again.

Tony is finished, he would lose against MMA fighters brought in. He needs to retire. Tony is going the same way as Bigfoot Silva, Bigfoot has been laid out cold by many cans in last few years, the opponents don't matter much. If you brought in like a 25 year old who doesn't have many fights they would probably hurt Tony really badly, it won't end well.

Tony needs to retire right now. If they made him fight someone from DWCS who is inexperienced I just got a bad feeling Tony will get destroyed quickly.

Tony even on his 12 fight win streak was getting hit flush a lot, and had bad defense.. but he was really agile and a good athlete and he was fast, but now he is old and he is nowhere near as agile or fast and it will only get worse the older he gets. His style is for a young guy, you needs lots of energy to fight the way he does.. his style doesn't age well.

 

[epic1stpost]

I think they should have given him a no name a couple fights ago but it's too late for that now.

 

[Gladiator24]

Tony vs a coked up Conor

 

[warriorfan808]

Haha I remember them trying that with CM Punk

 

[Gamer007]

The risk is too great, because the fight wouldn't draw much attention plus he could actually lose to a hungry regional guy who's not there to play nice.

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

They need to make a Shottest Motherfucker belt for guys like Tony who have too much CTE to retire.

The first title fight could be Tony vs BJ Penn

 

[svmr_db]

If you gotta try that hard to find a guy for Tony to beat, it's time to leave the UFC.

 

[mixmastermo]

I remember a time when guys got cut after 2 losses.

Heck, some guys got cut after only one loss. Kimbo Slice got cut after going 1-1

On another note, sometimes I wonder why they went all out to bring Jake Shields over. In terms of fighting excitement, he's right up (down) there with Jon Fitch. Maybe they just needed a name to feed GSP and hopefully put another nail in Strikeforce's coffin as a bonus

 

[mjoln]

Oh, ts meant another fighter....I thought about mafia and shit.

"Hiking is alright mr White but do we need these shovels and who is that guy?"

 

[Cobra 03]

They did throw Tony a bone, and his name was Chiesa. He still lost, and FAST! Bring him that white guy with the satan beard and man bun haircut, who always got knocked out cold in PRIDE! Sorry, I can't remember his name. OH yeah, Olaf Alfonso!

This is actually a great idea. Give them both at least 6 months to prep. I'd watch.
