That kick was perfect.
It popped both sides of the jaw into the skull for the shut off button.

It was scary how long he was out cold. Canât be good for you long term, along with the life altering beating Justin gave him.
I can understand how TFerg doesnât want to hang âem up yet. I hope people can talk him into retiring.
It would have been interesting if Chandler hadnât landed that up kick from hell

He needs to retire. Anyone suggesting he continue fighting is crazy. The guy has been dominated by Gaethje, Oliveira, Dariush, and almost killed by Chandler. Keeping him around to be cannon fodder for the new up and coming 155lbers is fucked up.

Bummer for Tony, just watched the fight, and he was looking great. Heâs gotta move that face out of the way. I say give him a lower ranked fight and see what happens, if he loses retirement is a real possibility.

Dana will feed him to killers til he quits
Dana could give him brain damage legally. Tony has no fear and would fight any banger they offer him. The outcome will not be good if he doesnât quit now imo
Heâs lost 4 straight but in general against steps up in competition from his past opponents, timeing-wise. He should fight and up and comer next; someone well outside of the top 10 at the least.
Reality is he makes too much for the UFC to give him lesser competition. I have a feeling heâll be matched up with someone like Fiziev or Tsarukyan in order to boost their names. Tony isnât going to go out with a win.
agreed he should fight a guy ranked in lower half of top 20
Tony is so crazy he would fight hazmat, and probably give a good fight too

They wonât do that for him though if they are paying him good. If he gets another fight it will likely be a killer and if he loses he will get cut. Same treatment JDS and Maia just got.
Not sure how Arlovski gets to take a step down in comp while other old vets donât but thats the way it goes.

Yup. Thatâs what I said.
Arlovski is well liked by the powers that be. Tony on the other hand, just recently shot himself in the foot.
Tony has taken so much damage in these past few fights. Not just the KOs but also the armbar of Oliveira and the heel hook of Dariush. His body must be brokenâŚ
Tony is fucken bonkers. Hell probably ask for nganno next.

How has he even been allowed to fight his last few? Wasnât he certified as legit batshit and locked away in Arkham asylum?
That would actually be a fun fight. Both are on a skid and have taken serious beatings in recent fights. If the Tony that showed up in the first round would be in the octagon against Hooker, it would be fireworks.
As much as I feel for Tony, I donât think he is done. For his health, he should probably retire. However, he still demonstrates far more ability than what BJ or Diego were showing late in their careers. Tony looked on point until he got caught. BJ and Diego looked like shells of the themselves in their last few fights. There are fights out there for Tony where he can be competitive and put on a show. Those are the fights he needs.

Dana himself said Tony is still a top 10 fighter, looked great in that 1st round, and was caught, as it can happen to anyone. Pretty classy of him⌠and I agree too. Obviously he is an exception, and he earned it. As 5 straight losses would be too much.
