man i wish we got this tony vs khabib. It was cursed but if connor wast allowed to hold the division up at least he wouldn't have the stupid interim next to his title he won
@@kamikoto1558 I don’t think this was prime Tony. He was already getting exposed by Kevin Lee. As soon as he faced the top of the division, he couldn’t fool the people anymore.
@@harigovind6316 I thought the same thing too. Even in his prime, Gaethje striking is too much for him. Tony was always the type to take damage and move forward chin up in the air. Like I said before, he couldn't fool the people anymore once he faced the elite of the division. Anyone could look unstoppable beating Cowboy, Kevin Lee, Pettis etc but once you get in there with the top,it's over.
This was right after he beat mike perry Alexander hernandez and al laquinta in 2019 right before his fight with justin g and the fight after that if im not mistaken is ufc 246 the mcgregor return which lasted like 40 seconds. I guess cerrone is only a journey man when Conor beats him.
For all of you stupid fucks talking shit about Charles just fyi he was injured in this fight. His leg was injured, and you can tell by the way he’s walking if you watch him fight regularly he was off this day. He was in pain. He didn’t want to take this fight because he was in pain but his coach made him fight and he STILL BEAT KKEVIN LEES ASS 🗣🗣🗣
Honestly Charles had Islam beat in 2 aspects of the game. The only way I can see Islam beating Charles is engaging immediately with wrestling and tire him the tf out with relentless ragdolling and then get a submission later in 4/5th round which I think itself is gonna be so hard if he can even escape all of the submission attempts from olives. Charles does gasses out after 2-3 rounds of hard grappling but it's only from so long ago with the Felder fight and kinda here but both of them had power. Against Tony he didn't stop at all so maybe he has better cardio now.
So right around the 7:57 mark you see Charles feinting kicks, he purposefully choreographs the movement and then repeats it. This sets up Kevin Lee to intentionally grab his leg, thus exposing Lee during the scramble and enabling Charles to go for his neck and choke him.
Make this fight again I only wanna see tony in theses kinds of fights like dan hooker, Conner if he loses bad in his next fight,clay guida maybe even Nate Diaz just no power punchers plz. Also you can tell this was when his prime was starting to leave him god damn this sport is so messed up
This is why MMA is trash. Love me some cowboy, but my god these guys are so stupid they don't know the sweet science. If you don't know what that means don't even reply. Sucks cowboy, should have been a no contest.
Ironically I've watched this fight maybe 5-10 times and do honestly believe that Tony's decline started here. He had a great second round as Cowboy slowed which gave him success, but that first round, there's was plenty to suggest that better fighters were going to start exposing him before long. Age and fight wars gets to all fighters
That late hit wouldn't of happened if Herb Dean was there. He always gets right between them as soon as.the bell rings. This guy is a good ref tho but he should've got between them
Tony Ferguson in his prime was a monster
Kevin said Charles destroyed both his knees in this fight
Miss this tony man😢
Joe Rohan seems like he’s loving Tony this fight
Sick fight.
good on the corner man btw
this was the Tony that Khabib begged to fight, that tells you what kind of animal Khabib was
this should have been the story after 229 but Khabib had to ruin everything
Lee was landing shots in the 3rd, surprised he went for the takedown
I miss this Tony Ferguson
I feel like that win was dark just before Tony’s lost
Yeah like tony has no clue what diaster was to come for the next 3 years 😢
A fight between 2 Aztec warriors, awesome!
This was Tony's last "El Cucuy" performance, after this he just never really revved that chaotic engine again.
Just a magical fucking fight. Felt like a damn movie.
6:30 if Lee knew how to do an arm triangle this might've turned out different. Seems like there was a lot of opportunities during this position.
The spinning elbows from Tony after he gets dropped gets overlooked by almost everyone. (Myself included)
When he overswings he fires of that elbow aswell, tricky
The tactical roll will never not make me laugh
Which one? 😂

Tony has a 22 defense and a 92 offense overall 😂
So true, with a chin like that he needs no defense haha. His footwork is 11 aswell
Tony the type of guy to slide cancel in real life
slide cancel to an uppercut
I wonder how this fight would go if they fought right now.
lets not cos nothing can top this. Prime Tony.
Pettis would whoop him now.

Cómo te extraño Cucuy, champshitonly
Anthony doesn’t get the credit he deserves:/
Tony would’ve gotten killed by khabib after the surgery, holy shit.
Que buena pelea de verdad Gran video
Charles ate him up
No debieron darle la victoria al cucuy fue un golpe ilegal
Cerrone is tough as nails though. They put on when hell of a fight!
wow

No response to them facts huh ight clown.

Keep these fights going my friend, but try changing the speed of it so RUclips wont recognise and take it down as copyright
Lee was like "I was softly open handed slapping his shoulder! Legit technique! What gym you train at, bro?"
Nah bruh he was was out out dude thought he was at a high-school dance he was holding Charles so tightly
Islam would maul him on ground.. has way better grappling than Kevin lee..
I don’t see Charles submitting Islam Makhachev. Islam grappling is on another level.
Shut up you’re just saying that because he’s muslim
it's not just about grappling, everyone sleeps on Oliveira's stand up game, he can tko Makhachev
Honestly Charles had Islam beat in 2 aspects of the game. The only way I can see Islam beating Charles is engaging immediately with wrestling and tire him the tf out with relentless ragdolling and then get a submission later in 4/5th round which I think itself is gonna be so hard if he can even escape all of the submission attempts from olives.

Oliveira submits Islam 2nd round easy that’s is he doesn’t TKO him on stand up
@@dstsmnv with what takedown defense?
if kevin lee can do that islam will kill him lol

Cool
Yes. That’s exactly what he did and Kevin’s dumb ass walked right into that choke 🥴🤣🤣🤣

definitely, he can do all the jujitsu styles and grapples, oliveira will meet his match.
Nope he’s gonna get subbed like this
Best grappling I’ve ever seen in the UFC
Watch Maia

Kevin lee landed some good shots on the ground I don't know why people are so afraid to land ground n pound on him so badly

Fook boxing
My god Tony looked like a monster here he looked much faster here than against gaethje also
He looks fast here bc cerrone is stiff and slow. Tony was still the same on the justin fight
Ironically I've watched this fight maybe 5-10 times and do honestly believe that Tony's decline started here. He had a great second round as Cowboy slowed which gave him success, but that first round, there's was plenty to suggest that better fighters were going to start exposing him before long.

Modern Day Chuck Norris vs Modern Day Bruce Lee

10:20 Cerrones eye was already real swollen prior to the late hit and the blowing of his nose
