No matter how many losses Tony has recently (Gaethje, Oliveira, Dariush, Chandler, Nate, Green and now Paddy…..hate that I keep having to update this comment) he will always be one of my favorite fighters

We were so horribly robbed by never getting khabib vs Tony in his prime .

Bet you are here shaking off tears after his loss to Diaz to remind yourself what a legend Tony is

Aside from "Give him sand!" I think one of my favorite Tony moments is at 5:01 being him throwing a spinning elbow at RDA, missing, RDA shaking his head "no" and Tony throwing another one, landing flush, and him nodding his head 🤣🤣

Tony Ferguson the type of guy who losses 2 fights in a row just to be the underdog again

The rolls , sprawls, elbows, chokes, volume and cardio he had was completely legendary and he trains himself

Who’s here reminiscing

When Pettis started kicking Tony's injured leg he fired back by kicking Pettis with multiple shots with the same leg. What a legend

Tony's the kind of guy to defend an interim belt multiple times

The UFC did this man dirty

I will remember Tony as this fighter. Thanks for everything Tony and you’ve been motivational for many people. I truly believe you could be a fantastic coach if you decided to give back.

Tony used to be so quick and fearless ☹️ Tony you are the man, you dont have to prove anything. Please take care of your health.

Tony Ferguson is the type of guy that dials the phone with his elbows.

it’s a crime that this man never got a title shot while he was in his prime and destroying everyone. The ufc did him dirty af

Hold on I’m crying brother

I just realized how great Tony's competition was back then.

Tony is the type of guy to move his head instead of toothbrush

Me: How many times am I gonna see Tony submit Kevin Lee? UFC: Yes.

Damn, Paddy would have died to this verison of Ferguson.

One of the pioneers of using the pressure, cardio combo against their opponents. Turning barboza into a wrestler just through pressure is crazy

Tony's the type of guy to lose just to start his win streak again.

PETITION: Even if Tony loses against Gaethje, he should have the right to go against the winner between Khabib-Gaethje. He didn't have to take this fight but did it for the fans. He won 12 times in a row. If Romero can lose 3 times in a row and then "fight" for the title, Tony definitely deserves this chance.

Here after 296 to make myself feel better

😂did a spinning left elbow and missed, dos anjos shakes his head no, does it again to the right and lands it, tony shakes his head yes

5:02 Tony: *misses spinning elbow* RDA: *no* 5:05 Tony: *connects with spinning elbow* Tony: *yes*

A fighter cannot comeback where he was His prime is amazing

Here to relive the glory days

and still he is fighting for the interim belt as he was 3 years ago. Tony vs Gaethje is a great fight at the wrong time. Tony Vs Khabib is the shit.

Tony, the type of guy, to still be my favourite fighter even if he loses.

THIS IS THE TONY EVERYONE SHOULD REMEMBER FOREVER!!!!

Now he is on a different type of Streak.

Tony went 15-1 in his first 16 UFC fights and finished 10 of his 15 wins, the most underrated run of all time. Still out of his prime his UFC record is 15-4 and he has 11 bonuses in 19 fights, certified HOFer and one of the best fighters of all time.

Tony the type of guy to shut the door with a spinning elbow

The highlight reel of a man whose entire life was the UFC, it’s so saddening to see him fight today knowing he had this beautiful, eternally underrated run. One of my favorite fighters, a unique rhythm and hybrid I’m unsure will be seen again

im here to make myself feel better

tony the type of guy who loose againt gaethje just to know what all his opponents has felt before

Who is here after the gaetjhe fight? Tony is still my boy

Hold on brother, I'm crying

Tony is someone I really admire and it just feels so bad to see him decline so quick. I will forever respect this man and hope he stops before he accumulates more unnecessary damage.

Tony in his prime was a true mma phenom. The wrestling the jiu jitsu and the striking all at his disposable every moment of every fight. The real deal.

Tony is the type of guy to listen Tyron Woodley's songs to motivate himself while training

Tony Ferguson was great fighter no doubt

tony the type of guy to lose 12 fights in a row to even things out

Seeing this now knowing he lost to Gaethje is just sad

"This is a rat race, but I'm no rat. I'm a turtle. NINJA turtle. Who's your favorite? Mine is Michaelanjelo". - Tony El Cucuy Ferguson

I come back to this every time I'm sad

In his prime, this man was a killer, could take anybody out on any given day

Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to be Double Interim Champion

Definitely the most avoided fighter in 155 pound division when he was in his prime 💯

Tony Ferguson is the last fighter on the roster I want to be in the cage with if I'm rocked or dazed. How he was able to think so fast in fights and put it all together was just a thing of pure beauty. Flowing and just dancing to his own rhythm. When he wanted to hit you he would use AMAZING NEXT LEVEL FOOTWORK to manipulate your stance and you were getting hit with an elbow or straight.

Even in those last few fights you could see hed slowed down

They never ever wanted him to fight Conor. This was when Tony was in his prime.

God it gets harder and harder to come back to this video

One of the most embarrassing things in ufc history is that a fighter can get a 12 fight win streak be no. 1 contender for years and still not get 1 title shot To all the people saying he got 5 in the comments he was scheduled to fight khabib 5 times only 2 of those were meant to be title fights one at 223 where he blew out his knee and one at 249 where travel restrictions meant the fight couldn’t happen

12-fight win streak 2017. Vs 6-lost streak 2023

If there's one thing I learned from Tony's career it's the importance of mental health. How do you go from longest win streak in the division to the longest losing streak? CTE + depression is no joke and I hope Tony recovers.

Tony Ferguson's dad said he wants to be just like him when he grows up.

And then Tony went on to defeat Khabib in a one-sided 5 round beatdown, making him verbally tap from 15 consecutive ankle-picks. He would later defend the belt 12 times. Among the victories: Gaethje (x2), Oliveira, Dariush, McGregor, Hasbulla riding Islam, the Bear that trained Khabib, Jon Jones' skeleton, and Ngannou in his lightweight debut after losing both legs after DC ate them. The end.

from 12 fight win streak to a 6 fight loss streak oh man...

This tony was unstoppable !! Sad to see him fall 😢😢😢 ...but no matter what you'll always be a legend ..we will miss u tony ❤️❤️thank u for everything

It's actually incredible how many "big fighters" were avoiding him at his prime. I'm pretty sure he would've give Conor a good fight

Tony Ferguson is the type of guy who can kill fish by drowning it

Hold on I'm crying brother

Tony is my most watched fighter and there is no close second. The level of entertainment he brought during this stretch was nothing short of amazing. No matter how the rest of his career plays out I'll still be watching all of his fights live. CSO

Great to see people still appreciating this Legend. Too many jumped off when Tony took a couple losses. True MMA fans respect his unique style of fighting and toughness. 😎👊

Anyone watching after the Dariush loss to remember the good old days😢

I'm watching this after ufc 279 💔

Why do you want to see me cry

Tony the type of guy to lose twice to condition his fans hearts

Cars look both ways when tony crosses 😎

Back after the Paddy loss, hes not the same anymore sadly

Tony is the type of guy to wake up his whole family to tell them he’s going to bed

I can’t believe the disrespect people are giving this man he lost 1 fight after a 12 fight win streak and they wanna say he sucks and is done

With all his wins and losses, Tony will always be my favorite fighter. What a legend!

We'll miss you Tony(this Tony)...

Tony has defended his belt twice and he’s about to get another defense against Justin 💀

Honestly it should have been: Khabib vs tony Justin vs Conor Still thankful for this fight since this situation we are in. Thanks uncle Dana hell of a card!

Win, lose, or draw, Tony is my favorite fighter of all time of any combat sport. The man is a freak, his output and shot selections are frightening, not to mention his heart is one of the toughest in UFC history. What he did to "Dos Angos" was embarrassing......he slipped a punch, turned a slow 360° and ripped a left body shot😳. Tony Ferguson will go down a legend 💪🏽.

I come here every time Tony loses

If you win 12 fights in a row in the highest level fighting promotion on the planet… well, yeah. I’d say you’re a legend.

Ferguson is very tough

Damn Tony was animal... He was way more better fighter than Nate Diaz. I wish they fought years ago. Tony would beat Nate.

5:05 Dos Anjos: you missed bud Tony: aight lemme try again

seriously man who fights like this? he is one of the most exciting fighters to watch perform

Watching this after the Nate fight....crazy to see the difference

anyone else come here every now and then?

Hold on I’m crying brotha😢

Tony is the type of guy to throw a two spinning elbows in a row. No really.

No matter what happens in Tony's career or in my life he will always be my favorite fighter, always kept it real and was a badass in the cage -CSO🇱🇷🏆🇲🇽💪😎🐐

Watching this after he lost to Bobby green 😢

I haven't left Tony's wagon. The heart of a true warrior beats in that man's chest. His eccentric personality is what makes him him. It's too bad it probably cost him his Khabib fight. He wanted to do it for the fans so much that while on a 12 fight winning streak, lined up to finally get his dream fight, he takes a last minute match up that doesn't favor him at all. He risks it all to fight an incredible defensive wrestler with impeccable hand-speed and power. This, after training for years now to fight someone who's game plan is to out wrestle you against a fence and beat on you. Tony didn't get to use any of those skills he trained on his back or to defend the takedowns. All that time that could have been prioritized to deal with stand up work and making a game plan for Justin. But if that wasn't bad enough, he's so foolhardy that he cuts weight twice just for the sake of it and compromises himself beforehand. Tony could have refused the fight and waited for Khabib. Nobody could blame him for that if he did. If anything, that would have been a smart decision. But that's not Tony. When I watched that fight I was devestated, but not just because my dog was losing, but after that 3rd round I felt like someone should have been there to save their fighter. By the end I wasn't sure if he could ever fight the same way again. He couldn't just go unconscious, and so he kept walking into the fire. Now we may never get to see him like he was again, and we'll certainly never get to see that Khabib fight. A tragic bookmark in his career, but man what a journey to watch over the years since he won The Ultimate Fighter. I won't say it's the end yet, because if anyone could come back from that it would be him. This is a man who gets ACL surgery and fights 6 months later. Not my overall all time fav, but definitely stylistically my favorite fighter to watch ever. There will never be another Tony Ferguson. We'll be here when you're back El Cucuy! UPDATE: Tony survives 5 rounds with a completely compromised arm with Oliviera. This man is willing to let someone destroy his arm in order to persevere and win. Nothing but heart from Tony. I hope he takes a longer time off after this loss.

Tony Ferguson the type of guy to train 10 days a week.

I have major love for Tony Ferguson. He’s my favorite fighter and has been since 2019

Its sad that the ufc never gave him title shots when he was in prime

Tony is the type of guy that calls emergency and asks how can I help you.

Doesn't matter he's on a decline coz of his age... Nobody can take away from him the fact that he was the most feared Lightweight at one point of time. A true legend and a deserving Hall of Famer in the future

I don’t care what happened to Tony at the end of his career, this is the Tony we all fell in love with

Damn. Tony's a beast. He looked like he had no equal. This version of Tony is a problem for anyone.

Tony Ferguson the type of dude to unclog his toilet with a spinning back fist.

You get the feeling that Tony almost doesn’t want to finish early. He likes causing pain and playing with his food.
