Justin is learning that he does not have to block every punch with his face which is bad news for the division.

Trevor Whitman- take 10 percent off those punches you’re trying to kill him Tony’s coach- Throw sand....

Tony Ferguson is the type of guy that never skips KZfaq ads to condition his patience

Tony getting his face lit up. Bravo between rounds: “beautiful boxing”

Tony screwed Tony. He should not have accepted any fight other than the Khabib matchup.

I felt so bad for tony, can’t be the only one...

What about Eddie bravo telling him his boxing was beautiful between rounds, the difference in the corners was staggering

Tony looked like an old cat who got sprayed in the face with vinegar when he shook his head. Heart breaking.

Tony ferguson to his broken orbital "Hold on im fightin brotha."

Tony Ferguson: Broken orbital bone,cuts and bruised face Eddie Bravo: Wow you're looking beautiful man

Justin realized it’s easier to win when you don’t let people punch you in the face.

Tony has one of the most diverse fighting arsenals and his corner never told him to mix it up or try something other than standing in the pocket and trading

Trevor Wittman was giving Gaethje amazing advice in his corner, while Eddie Bravo was trying to convince Tony COVID-19 is a conspiracy in the other corner.

Tony Ferguson is still my favorite fighter. A loss didn’t change how much of a beast I think he is. At least now, Tony’s true fans stay.

Tony Ferguson looked like he just fought Tony Ferguson

His body said stop but his spirit wanted to keep fighting. The ultimate peak of will power. Tony is the kind of guy who would literally fight to death.

What fascinated me was Tony's incredible chin because never did I imagine that he would absorb lots of Justin's hard punches yet remain on his feet till the last round

Tony going into Round 5. Eddie Bravo: "Idk, MaYbE tRy An ImInArI rOlL?"

Gaethjes coach: "HEY LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME youre trying to kill the man in there! Take 10 percent off those punches. Focus on good clean shots ok!? DONT GET COCKY" EDDIE: BeAuTIful BoXiNg ToNy

Anyone else annoyed they moved the comment section

One of the most legendary win streaks in the UFC and the most anticipated MMA fight of all time died in an empty arena in an armpit area in Jacksonville, Florida. I'm heartbroken for Tony. Perfectly encapsulates my love/hate relationship with combat sports.

Eddie Bravo: "Beautiful boxing Tony"

Joe “I don’t think so, maybe, I don’t think so, it’s possible” Rogan

Tony's lead leg was compromised early in the fight and he was off balance thereafter. Amazing leg kicks by Justin.

Tony shaking his head when he got rocked in the 5th broke my heart man.

Joe ‘no. Maybe. Probably not. But there’s a chance.’ Rogan.

I liked that the arena was empty you could literally hear every single hit land

I just don’t get why Ferguson never tried to take Justin down.

Gaethje vs Ferguson was one of the best fights ever. The way Tony just kept coming was super human but Gaethje fought beautifully

The way Tony was behaving when he got stopped was way scarier than any KO. Freaked me out.

Joe “No. No. I don’t think so. Maybe, but I don’t think so. It’s possible” Rogan

Both fighters were amazing. They reminded us that warriors still exist. Congratulations to Justin Geathje on the win, he earned it. Tony is and has been my favorite fighter since he asked "Where's your kid at?" on UF. Being said, JG showed us how tough he really is. Look at the post-TonyFerg faces and the amount of damage he produces. JG's understanding of space and angles create his exceptional hand game.

Anybody else feel so bad when Tony took that last shot and shook his head

We learned 2 things: *Tony's Chin Is Legendary & Gaethje Is an extraordinary Striker.*

CTE to Tony Ferguson: " hold on, I am talkin brother"

Feel bad for Tony. He shouldn't have cut weight twice in a short amount of time

Hate how after one lost everyone is slating Tony honestly this world is fucked up simple

Bruh Tony’s corner “Throw some sand” wtf man give your boy good advice

Best corner advise ever, "THROW SOME SAND" 👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂

Tony lost fairly, but he's gonna be hungry after this loss I think.

My soul left my body when I found out about Tony losing. I'm not a big fan of him, but he should've been the main villain fighting Khabib. Now I feel bad for the guy, hope he returns stronger

Tony's brain was giving up but not his heart. That man was willing to die rather than quitting or getting knocked out

1:13, I’m tripping out over how many times Joe said the words “just”, “Justin”, and “adjustments” in such a short span of time

Some people say Tony shouldn’t have accepted this fight... last time he did that VS Max Holloway, he lost his shot at Khabib and Poirier got the title shot. Maybe Dana would have done the same and give Conor or Gaethje a title shot vs Khabib!

Cant wait until eddie is back on the podcast and Joe grills him Joe - "Why did you tell Tony beautiful boxing at the end of round 3" Eddie - *LOOK INTO IT*

I watched it once, i cant bring myself to watch it again, my heart was breaking for 25 mins especially rd 4 and 5. 12 fight win streak and never got to fight khabib, didnt even need to accept this fight with justin, credit to Justin it was the perfect plan, however he will lose to khabib the same way Dustin and Conor did. I still think Ferguson is the toughest test for Khabib he's the only one that can catch Khabib on the ground, no one else can. Side note - Can someone tell Francis's corner men to carry an empty coffin on there shoulders during his walkout in advance plz.

Eddie Bravo: “Throw in an Imanari roll”

One thing that isn't mentioned, is that without the crowd you miss an element that can effect fighters. The pressure the moment of a crowd is what makes it different than just two guys in a gym. Also the lack of crowd allowed the fighters to hear there corners and even the announcers for advice. With the one fighter even crediting DC for the kick check advice which changed that fight.

Justin _"stand down, final warning!"_ Gaethje Tony _"I can do this all day"_ Ferguson Tony needs a new meme.

“You can’t knock Tony Ferguson out with one shot”-Rogan “I know da wae”- Francis Ngannou

It was a great fight, justin was ON HIS GAME, but big love to Tony he's tougher than a dollar steak and I believe this loss will push him to come back better than ever, I'm a fan of the Boogie Man

Tony’s has said himself, he doesn’t train for someone’s style of fighting. That’s straight from his mouth. In a cocky voice.

*Tony defo has the strongest jaw in UFC he was eating and taking them shots like a champ (sadly no more)*

I feel like the lack of a crowd allowed Justin to focus the way he did, he was on a different level, every punch went where he wanted when he wanted.Edit- Justin just talked about this point in joes new podcast so for those of you that argued against me you can go ahead and scckk it 😂

eddie "beautiful boxing" bravo

"Do you think there was a chance?" "No, not at all. Well possibly, it's hard to say but I doubt it, but you really never will know cause it's hard to say y'know? I don't know, what do you think?"

Gaetheje's corner : Don't get too comfortable, take 10% off your strikes Tony's corner : Trump called, he said your doing beautiful, just beautiful.

That fifth round when Tony was done and he wasnt accepting it and was shaking his head to get back in to the fight. That broke my heart.. Im big fan on Tony and that fight was tough to watch.

Tony shouldnt have took the fight, props to him for doing so. Heartbroken tony khabib wont ever happen now

Look at gsp. Even when considered the goat he's always trying to learn and become better, his flaws become his biggest strengths. Tony just gets fed praise and compliments. He needs actual criticism if he wants to become the best.

"Yeah, there you go Tony. Throw sand" I lost it when bravo said that in the 4th round 😂😂

Tony's corner, particularly Eddie, are like yes men

Eddie won’t be on the podcast until this has all blown over, my guy is a meme right now.

I hope tony comes back stronger, I want to see him undisputed champ before he retires

Joe “no no well maybe but I don’t think so” Rogan

Tony's fault for even taking this fight. He could have just waited for Khabib no matter what.

Regardless of Bravo’s “advice” or lack thereof, I don’t think there were words or adjustments that would’ve changed Saturday’s outcome. It wasn’t Tony taking risky moves or decisions, more-so Gaethje was throwing extremely accurate and powerful combo’s/follow-ups and his defense and head movement improved 10x. Tony has so much heart and it was weird to see him on the other side it (except for that nasty uppercut) but nothing but respect and credit goes to Gaethje, he genuinely deserves it.

"Tony only had a few weeks. " So what did Justin have?

“Hold on I’m talking mother” - Kevin lee to Michael Chiesa’s mom

When Tony pulled out Khabib had to make adjustment in a week to fight Max and then Max pulled out so he made adjustment in just one day to fight Al.. Khabib is levels above other 155ers

I love Tony .... but if he was prepping for a grappler why didn’t he grapple then?

2:14 One of the greatest fights of all time my ass. It was one of the most brutal beatings, not a great fight.

Hats off to G’s coach, amazing improvement in his game with every fight. Tony is sick killer and being able to beat him like that takes an immense amount of brilliance in strategy and implementation. Respect to G and his team.

I believe the fighters ability to hear the commentary must have played a psychological roll in in some of those fights

Tony didn’t make excuses so why is everyone else? IMO

That fight was a special spectacle to watch. My favorite MMA fight of all time. Such a masterpiece of combat.

“Tony was dominating first 4 flats” -Eddie Bravo

The whole excuse of "training for Khabib" is such bullshit. Tony had a full camp and was in great shape. It was his arrogance to think he could stand up and strike with Justin. Tony never attempted a takedown. Yeah opponents change. So you sit down with your team and you watch some film and you adjust your game plan. You're not learning how to fight in 3 months. Why didn't Tony shoot for a takedown or pin Justin to the cage and try to trip him? It's not because he was terrified that he wouldn't get the takedown, it was because he expected to do to Justin what he did to everyone else. Tony had no respect for Justin's power and too much confidence in his own striking. A smarter gameplan would have been to get the fight to the ground and use his submissions. Instead, Tony tried to stand and bang with a knockout artist.

I get tony was training for Khabib but he didn’t even try to take Justin down

I think another major factor was the timeline in regards to Tony's training. He set everything up to peak in April. The fight gets canceled and then he has to try and extend that peak out another month. Trying to hold on to that fitness is tough and you could tell that tough as he was, he wasn't 100% as far as conditioning is concerned.

After the fight, I just wanted to give Tony a hug and tell him everything is gonna be ok...

I just hope tony is ok mentally, he took a lot of damage and I know he was ready to die in there. I hope his loved ones are supporting him and he stays strong.

I cannot be the only one that noticed that El Cucuy wasn't 100% himself that night. Props to Gaethje but I don't think El Cucuy was firing on all cylinders. In any case, now I wanna see Gaethje vs Khabib. McGregor should stop his stupid little twitter rants and call out El Cucuy. We want that card. Khabib vs Gaethje as the main event and Tony Ferguson vs McGregor as the co-main. Fireworks!

I feel bad for Tony cause he's got more to lose. Then again his pride always wants to fight the elites of the division, every time his bout with Khabib gets cancelled. Khabib meanwhile rests. Then gets to fight whoever is available at that time. Let's just hope this fight between Justin pulls through.

Hey Joe, how about the garbage advice Eddie was giving in between rounds ?

I like how joe made an excuse for Tony about preparation, when it was actually Justin that came in on short notice...

That fight would have definitely been different with a crowd. Tony feeds off the audience. Also the double weight cut and Change of opponents, mixed with a fuckall corner and a well prepared Gaethje. There were many variables to his loss.

You can tell that Justin respects Tony and really felt bad for Tony in that fight. Justin let up a lot on Tony because Tony was getting mauled

Don’t think that was “one of the greatest fights of all time”...usually that means it’s a close back and forth. Gaethje pretty much just beat him up the whole fight

When tony corner said “throw the sand” I knew he already lost

Tony is a outstanding warrior, the charachter that he showed us will live forever in my mind, never take a back step and fight like a champion, i am sure that he will be back, and proove once again that he is the best! but i give credit to justin and especially to trevor witman they did great job, justin fought smart, agressive and calculated fight, very impressive! but we have also mention that two weightcuts in a short period of time and preparetion for khabib played big role in that fight!

It's not like Justin was training specifically for Tony too. they both had the same time to train for each other

Gaethje and Mcgreggor would be an incredible fight to watch

If Tony Ferguson was prepared for a wrestler, then why didn't he try to take down Justin? He was clearly losing every single round

“You can’t knock tony out in one shot” *Francis Ngannou has entered the chat*

2 weight cuts in a month must’ve had an effect on Tony. He didn’t look himself. Not taking away from Justin though. He fought a perfect fight.

Justin only had a few weeks to train/prepare for the fight as well.

Gaethje vs McGregor would be an incredibly entertaining fight.

"throw some sand..." 😂😂😂 Tony is type of guy to throw imaginary sand in the midst of getting his ass handed to him.

Regardless of Tony preparing for a different fighter, he's fought fighters similar to Justin Gaethje and was supposedly experienced/dynamic enough to adjust. Fighters frequently adjust style and surprise their opponent - and Tony should have been prepared for this. As Joe said, Justin Gaethje typically fights the same way so this would have been known to Tony beforehand. Justin is a striker who goes toe-to-toe. This is not something that should have surprised Tony nor something that he shouldn't have been able to adjust to. Besides, Tony took this fight. He still had weeks to prepare and he simply came up short.
