This thread needs to be stickied. Tony Ferguson coming for his shot.
This matchup is a throwback to the glory days of the ufc. Elite fighters with unique skillsets who dont quit. Dudes like Mcgregror are turning it into boxing with their fake rivalries and women's clothing.
Ignore the inside leg kick dude. Someone pointed out his last screen name on another thread, I forget exactly who he was but it was some retard always trying to be funny.
McGregor already try to fuck up the this fight by trying to get rematch. Fuck that go fight the win of cerrone and gaethje. Let the real fighters fight!
At the very least Tony isn't going to repeatedly put in horrible positions because he keeps trying to stand. He's a legit threat on the ground with attacks people don't know in their sleep.
Tony's striking is way too unorthodox for Khabib's basic stand-up. And he's smart enough to stay off the fence. He'll slice and dice this simple mountain boy off rhe bottom in the middle of the mat if need be.
If im lying, then why does a guy who just had a year off want to take a break and contemplate?
It's an awesome match up and I've been waiting for this one for a very long time. Khabib is a great fighter but he doesn't put people to sleep, he overwhelms them with pressure, they wilt, he gets a sub.
But T.Ferg has the cardio and the durability, plus he's dangerous in all positions. Tony will be dangerous from the opening bell to the very end of the 5th round.
