I think the most interesting part about this fight is their mental toughness. Khabib is extremely mentally tough, and Tony is just crazy, so he's never going to give up like Dustin, Mcgregor or any of Khabibs former opponents, let alone slow down. That is what truly makes this fight epic.
The press conference was interesting; one fighter can’t speak English but was making sense, the other fighter speaks good English but wasn’t making any sense....
He’s been running the streets for Years, and he’s still here and so is fear! Undisputed never lost a round, bodies hit the ground, when the bad guy comes to town!!!! -undisputed undefeated chael
👍👍Yeah man. This is the MMA fans fight. It's going to do good numbers, top level stuff moneywise and all that... but it's definitely a "Fight for Fight Fans."
Tony furgeson is the type of guy to tell khabib to, "GIVE UP!" while getting his face smashed in. THAT'S what's the hardest quality about Tony. His will power. A monster that won't fade even when the lights are on
I can't fucking wait for THIS fight. The moment where khabib shoots a takedown and how Tony is gonna deal with it is so hype i don't know what's gonna happen but im guaranteeing you that im gonna be on my edge of my sit the whole fucking time.
It’s the stamina, I watched an interview with Khabibs father and he said all the other 155ers would wilt around the 8 minute mark from his sons heavy pressure. In that same interview he said Tony would still be strong at 15 and maybe even 25 minutes. I feel they are hyper aware that Tony is unbreakable and could cause Khabib trouble if Khabib can’t take him down in the later rounds. My thought is that Tony won’t fight the takedowns as hard as Conor did since he is a “free flow” type fighter. And after rewatching the fight against Kevin Lee he tends to get hit and taken down quite easily because of this. So my take is that if Khabib can keep Tony down he wins by mauling. BUT if Tony can scramble to his feet every round Khabib is in BIG trouble. The fight will be decided on Tony’s ability to scramble to his feet so he can put his nasty stand up pressure on Khabib later in the fight. Just an opinion.
I believe the best for tony is to never get his back close to the cage, he can do that by always going forward. And if he gets taken down away from the cage he can just do random stuff, scrambling, grandbys, looking for darces, or just pull guard and do some damage off his back, what do you think of that?
Yeah exactly man. When Chael said " which of these 3 things will Khabib have a problem with" is definitely taking tony to the fence so that he can take him down. In my opinion, it all comes down to.. who has the bigger gas tank. Khabib needs to be very technical as well, knowing how bizarre and unorthodox tony is. This is truly the greatest match up in mma history, it deserves more hype imo.
Dean Kruse agreed, but other than the elbows I don’t think it’s anything Khabib hasn’t seen before. As I stated before if Tony gets Khabib tired so he can’t take him down Tony will be the one pressuring in the stand up like he just did in his last fights against Pettis and Cerone. That will keep his back off the cage and put Khabib in a place we haven’t seen him before which spells adversity. So many variables in this fight game but Conor exposed Khabib in that he can’t maul for 5 straight rounds. Khabib is the king of the 3 round fight but 5 round fights are different and we have seen him actually pace himself which might give Tony the opportunity he needs to turn up the heat and drown Khabib. Like I said though that’s if Tony actually makes Khabib work for his takedowns and can actually get back to his feet. No easy task for ANYONE in that division as we have all seen.
I would suggest all 3 phases of Kahbib’s proposed game plan could be a problem... 1.) Tony has superior agility, endurance and striking. So if Tony wants to keep off of the cage entirely, Kahbib is going to have to be relentless at cutting off the ring and he’s going to have to keep his guard up in doing so. There’s an outside chance this fight never even makes it to the ground, in which case Kahbib is screwed from the get go!!! 2.) Taking Tony down is no easy task either, as he has great wrestling and jiu-jitsu and might just slap someone in a standing dance as they’re grappling for position. And as Josh the Punk Thompson has said multiple times, Tony has those big hands causing some serious wrist control issues for his opponents. 3.) Tony is as dangerous from the ground as anyone. He’s not going to waste energy getting up, but rather rest and bust you up with elbows with you in his guard. Kahbib will also have to pay attention to his foot placement while on top and be careful not to get sloppy. 4.) Tony might even be borderline certifiably crazy! Expect the unexpected!! He might not play into the methodical game plan at all, who knows!! T-Ferg might even try to be the one to take Kahbib down, lol!!!
On those 3 things i dont think khabib will have problem ... tony Will to fight is far greater than any other opppoent khabib has ever fought .. all his opponent looked defeated in round 1 against him .. all the time i hv seen them looking at the clock and waiting to round to be over ... tony will not surrender .. and his stamina and pace is far superior than other .he can dance with khabib all 5 rounds ,., and i dont think both of them will finish eachother , this will go to decision and it will be close one .. leaning lit bit towards khabib ,, but tony is a warrior .. thats why i am so pumped up for this fight.. so so so much more than conor vs khabib.
Khabib said he improved his ground game lol.. imagine that.. plus he trains to get out of every submission there is... elbows prbly his biggest concern but with his fight iq and ground control.. there isnt much concern.. tony gonna crack under khabibs pressure or go for submissions..... i wana see how tony deals with khabibs top pressure..
TheChamp91100 khabib can’t go 5 rounds with Tony, I think he’s gonna be the one pursuing the submissions far more than tony bc he does get tired in the 4th and 5th
Nah I think he is worried about Tony being slippery so he won't be able to score takedowns. Once Khabib takes you don't these elbows aren't doing shit imo.
Khabib knows that Tony cuts people up BADLY with his elbows! Also on his back Tony throws that Darce Choke in TIGHT from SO many angles!! I still cannot figure out WHY I haven’t seen anyone blow out Khabib with a knee to the face when he dives in for his takedowns? I heard Eddie Bravo saying that in training; Tony has quite a few surprises lined up for the Eagle!!
Very insightful Chael. I like the way you break down seemingly complicated aspects of ones style and show really just the basics. Very easy to understand.
He'll take him down. That's when the struggle will begin. Holding tony down and avoiding getting caught in crazy submissions. As the rounds go by, the take downs will get harder and keeping Tony down will get even harder, and so will avoiding submissions. This will be a test of Khabib's Strength and cardio vs Tony's cardio and ju jitsu off the back.
Plus you got to factor in Tony who is crazy is crazy ass damage he does off the back with strikes and his teachings of jujitsu with Eddie bravo who is one of top 5 most likely best teachers of all time and his wrestling is leaps above McGregors
Tony is going to lose in this fight because of cheal's curse ( whenever he favoured/supported a fighter to win,they lose). The last one was dominic ryes.
I dont think pushing him to the fence will be easy. Watch his fights, Tony is the one always applying constant pressure and backing his opponents up. Whoever wins the pressure game is gunna win the fight. Tony's game on his back is great, but if khabib is on top hes going to have the advantage. Hopefully tony doesnt give him the opportunity.
Hes worried about ground and pound. Being caught. Taking worse damage then he is dishing. It's really simple. However if he can rock Tony first should be good. I bet hes working hard on his stand up. Get in close lure him with the chance of the take down however turn nto one of those tight upper cuts and explode
Kyle S what? Khabib is concerned with Tony’s GnP? What are you smokin? And do you really think Tony could ever mount khabib and stay mounted long enough for GnP? The way khabib works his hips combined with his freakish strength mean that it would basically require a miraclulous feat of technical ability for that to happen. I’m not saying it would never happen, just that there’s a one in a million chance as long as khabib is conscious
Khabib sees Tony’s Elbow cutting him open when he takes him down and isn’t sure how it is going to affect him.... That’s what I see. He knows he will take Tony down, but with damage and for how long , that’s what Khabib doesn’t know and know it will be difficult to do.
Nathaniel O'Rion TOTALLY TRUE! Khabib is VERY WORRIED about a Doctors Stoppage due to elbow induced lacerations to the eyes; requiring extensive surgery!!!
Taylor Skidmore don’t listen to that goof who commented above me. Don’t listen to the corona bs dude. It’s a scam. Go and enjoy it! the only Coronas you’ll be having will come in a glass bottle!
*Chael:* *In what position is Tony Ferguson a threat to Khabib Nurmagomedov?* *Chael's psychologist:* *Okaaay . . . but, is the camera crew necessary?*
The third point is gonna be the hard part for Kabib. Which is staying in a position of control on the ground. I bet that Tony's approach against Kabib will be to fight recklessly not really caring about being taken down. And if he gets taken down, which he will (and he knows it), he's gonna try to evade (he is really good at it) or he's gonna set up a trap (he is really good at it too) to come out on top or to execute a submission. A guillotine choke would be a REALLY GOOD TRAP to set up against Kabib. Dustin Poirier almost did it and I bet Tony is gonna try it. What do you guys think?
First 2 seconds of round 1 toney meets khabib at the middle the octagon then Tony falls down on his back at the beginning of the fight and welcomes khabib
I wasn't sure lol he was just talking about how he was gonna watch the fight with his father in law then referred to a mandate. I had to think for a second lol
Khabib is worried that the d'arce choke can be slapped on him at any given second. Tony is getting old. He isn't in his prime anymore. In 2015 had they fought? Tony wouldve beat Khabib. In 2016 Tony would've beat him. This is 5 years after the very first booked fight. That's half a decade? Ridiculous and Khabib is only getting better. His striking and strength is only better. I'm pulling for Tony. But I'm afraid to much time has gone by.
Khabib knows holding Tony down is gonna cause himself damage and energy.not as much as he can deal to Tony but Khabib shys away from damage..Tony eats damage for breakfast
@@turkandazerbrothersforever8305 Actually no in a way he's right. Khabib is use to being the one dishing out more of the damage WITHOUT taking much himself through wrestling and ground n pound. Tony has a pretty good chin considering his style leaves him more open to shots in which El Cucuy will gladly take in turn of him giving damage simultaneously (through elbows or jabs etc.)
Also, I bet khabib fought that fight conservatively on purpose. He had everything to lose in that fight, if he got clipped. His legacy would have been ruined and title shot lost, to some relatively unknown bozo. So he just stood and jabbed him in the face a million times, just for the easy win.
That was khabib messing around and testing his stand-up skills, which he used against Conor once he found out he needs improvement from the Al fight. Khabib also doesn't succeed nearly as much in takedowns that aren't against the fence, which is what Al was defending so well.
@@justarandominternetdude2579 you didn't see the tibau fight? He couldn't take tibau down once the whole fight, tibau took khabib down. Years after that fight the UFC was broadcasting that khabib outwrestles every opponent and always takes them down and it's a big lie!
Some good questions Chael. It’s hard to know what Khabib’s mostly worried about as he gets ready to fight Tony Ferguson. My guess is that it’s the whole package. Tony is dangerous to Khabib whether the fight is on the feet, or on the ground. Add to that the how unpredictable he can sometimes be, and how strong and focused he is mentally, it all adds up to a real challenge for Khabib Nurmagomedov. This is is going to be a great fight to watch!

Keep doing this chael your point of views always give me a different perspective on fights
Chael looks like hes about to drop the hottest rap song of 2020
Got tony winning this fight
I think all MMA fans do
@Eli all? r u a zionnist by the way?
King Savage Khabib all day
Tony is the type of guy that will get the corona virus on purpose so that he can try to fight it
Σκασε βλακα
Really enjoy Chael's videos. Great insight , looking forward to a great fight
Goodluck for both of you. You are champions no matter what.
Pushing Tony around will be easy, keeping him down and avoiding damage while on top will be difficult 🔥😬
Agree.. his strikes is dangerous even when he ia on the ground
I dont think pushing him to the fence will be easy. Watch his fights, Tony is the one always applying constant pressure and backing his opponents up. Whoever wins the pressure game is gunna win the fight. Tony's game on his back is great, but if khabib is on top hes going to have the advantage. Hopefully tony doesnt give him the opportunity.
Hes worried about ground and pound. Being caught. Taking worse damage then he is dishing.
It's really simple. However if he can rock Tony first should be good. I bet hes working hard on his stand up. Get in close lure him with the chance of the take down however turn nto one of those tight upper cuts and explode
Dave Carli x
Kyle S what? Khabib is concerned with Tony’s GnP? What are you smokin? And do you really think Tony could ever mount khabib and stay mounted long enough for GnP? The way khabib works his hips combined with his freakish strength mean that it would basically require a miraclulous feat of technical ability for that to happen. I’m not saying it would never happen, just that there’s a one in a million chance as long as khabib is conscious
Khabib sees Tony’s Elbow cutting him open when he takes him down and isn’t sure how it is going to affect him.... That’s what I see. He knows he will take Tony down, but with damage and for how long , that’s what Khabib doesn’t know and know it will be difficult to do.
Nathaniel O'Rion TOTALLY TRUE! Khabib is VERY WORRIED about a Doctors Stoppage due to elbow induced lacerations to the eyes; requiring extensive surgery!!!
Makes sense
@Histalian wtf u talking about? U donkey
I'll be at UFC 249, my first live MMA event. Driving down from MA. As long as coronavirus doesn't ... uhhh nevermind
Taylor Skidmore enjoy it brother!!!
Wow! That's awesome! What a first event to go to!
Im sorry to tell you this but it will defo be cancelled and if it isnt id advise you not to go bro
Taylor Skidmore don’t listen to that goof who commented above me. Don’t listen to the corona bs dude. It’s a scam. Go and enjoy it! the only Coronas you’ll be having will come in a glass bottle!
EVERY ufc fan is thinking exactly the same thing!!! You nailed it..
Why does this video make me feel so motivated lmao.. thank you chael.
I thought he was gonna answer the question, not re-ask it. Well played.
Tony the type of guy to let the champion fight for his belt
*Chael:* *In what position is Tony Ferguson a threat to Khabib Nurmagomedov?*
*Chael's psychologist:* *Okaaay . . . but, is the camera crew necessary?*
Michael G. Scott lmao.
Bruh LMFAO
😂😂👍
Lol
What’s your favorite uncle Chael saying?
“Which oh by the way”
Comment yours below
Lets back up
"Let me offer you this."
To the highest of levels.
“ I can have a conversation with myself in the mirror for hours”
For a meaningful period of time
I come from Dagestan, I am mountain I fight on streets all my life (but in the cage I fight like I'm scared to get hit in the face).
I would love to hear him speak at a normal time lol! Love the enthusiasm!!!!
The third point is gonna be the hard part for Kabib. Which is staying in a position of control on the ground.
I bet that Tony's approach against Kabib will be to fight recklessly not really caring about being taken down. And if he gets taken down, which he will (and he knows it), he's gonna try to evade (he is really good at it) or he's gonna set up a trap (he is really good at it too) to come out on top or to execute a submission. A guillotine choke would be a REALLY GOOD TRAP to set up against Kabib. Dustin Poirier almost did it and I bet Tony is gonna try it.
What do you guys think?
Whatever the fuck you’ve written above. Tony Will be on the ground and being punched in the face repeatedly
First 2 seconds of round 1 toney meets khabib at the middle the octagon then Tony falls down on his back at the beginning of the fight and welcomes khabib
Then when Khabib comes forward...... AXE KICK
Then khabib jumps of the cage🤣🤣
Chael “I gotta tell ya” Sonnen
Excellent insight as always uncle! The best!
I think khabib knows Tony is awesome on his back and Tony will let the elbows lose
All of us: forgets
Uncle Chael: Just in case you forgot, let me offer you this; this situation is fascinating to the highest of levels
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to step on a sea urchin to scratch his feet.
Did anyone else think he was saying “man date “? And not mandate.
Nah just your dumbass
You’re making a mockery of the mangrate
I wasn't sure lol he was just talking about how he was gonna watch the fight with his father in law then referred to a mandate. I had to think for a second lol
No
Yes
Khabib is worried that the d'arce choke can be slapped on him at any given second. Tony is getting old. He isn't in his prime anymore. In 2015 had they fought? Tony wouldve beat Khabib. In 2016 Tony would've beat him. This is 5 years after the very first booked fight. That's half a decade? Ridiculous and Khabib is only getting better. His striking and strength is only better. I'm pulling for Tony. But I'm afraid to much time has gone by.
3x khabib fell out the fight, anybody ever think why? lol
They should just let Chael do all the promos for the UFC. Natural storyteller. Wonderful orator
Reverse cowgirl, Doggy, missionary, you name it tony can get him from all positions
💀💀😂😂😂
that’s super gay
JakeMCGreen
Now that’s funny
I don’t care who yar
That’s funny right chair 😂😂😂
oh yeas baby hit me with that full guard northsouth sidecontroll
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to knock at your door with a spinning elbow
Orthodoxe Deter 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Khabib knows holding Tony down is gonna cause himself damage and energy.not as much as he can deal to Tony but Khabib shys away from damage..Tony eats damage for breakfast
Dumb comment
@@turkandazerbrothersforever8305 Actually no in a way he's right. Khabib is use to being the one dishing out more of the damage WITHOUT taking much himself through wrestling and ground n pound. Tony has a pretty good chin considering his style leaves him more open to shots in which El Cucuy will gladly take in turn of him giving damage simultaneously (through elbows or jabs etc.)
Thats what im talking about..... Tony will gladly trade from the bottom
I'm fascinated by this man in the highest of levels
I love listening to this guy! I subscribed👍
Listening to Chaels podcase for the "umpteenth" time
Chael is forgetting about the Al Aquinta fight , it was 5 rounds and mostly stand up, please correct me if I'm wrong;)
That is correct. I was gonna write the same thing if no one else did.
Yeppers, raging Al had the best takedown defense I’ve seen against Khabib.
Also, I bet khabib fought that fight conservatively on purpose. He had everything to lose in that fight, if he got clipped. His legacy would have been ruined and title shot lost, to some relatively unknown bozo. So he just stood and jabbed him in the face a million times, just for the easy win.
That was khabib messing around and testing his stand-up skills, which he used against Conor once he found out he needs improvement from the Al fight.
Khabib also doesn't succeed nearly as much in takedowns that aren't against the fence, which is what Al was defending so well.
@@justarandominternetdude2579 you didn't see the tibau fight? He couldn't take tibau down once the whole fight, tibau took khabib down.
Years after that fight the UFC was broadcasting that khabib outwrestles every opponent and always takes them down and it's a big lie!
Doctor : how do you feel khabib
Khabib: i feel naathing
Some good questions Chael. It’s hard to know what Khabib’s mostly worried about as he gets ready to fight Tony Ferguson. My guess is that it’s the whole package. Tony is dangerous to Khabib whether the fight is on the feet, or on the ground. Add to that the how unpredictable he can sometimes be, and how strong and focused he is mentally, it all adds up to a real challenge for Khabib Nurmagomedov. This is is going to be a great fight to watch!
Let's Go Tony! 👊
