Such a shame that Yoel made the switch to MMA in his late 30's. He would have without a doubt have been a long reigning champion if he started in his mid 20's.
I still remember the absolute shock in Rogan's voice when said "good lord that's a terrifying man." After rumble knocked out Teixeira in like 15 seconds
Rumble Is so underrated, and was definitely the greatest LHW of all time that never won the belt and he was undoubtedly the hardest hitting In the division all time. Looking at his TKO of Gustaffson In the 1st RD (In his hometown of Sweden) was absolutely jaw-dropping too, and that was a guy who'd gone 5RDs with Jon Jones of all of fighters and given him the toughest fight of his career. RIP to a legend.
During a Tony Ferguson fight, Joe Rogan pointed out that Tony was using wing Chung and said that Tony was the only person he's ever seen successfully use wing Chung in the octagon. Tony was also known for pulling guard to which one of his opponents mentioned in an interview that it was like falling face first into a blender lol
It's so surprising to me that 2011-2015 heel Jon Jones and Prime Tony Ferguson never killed anybody In the octagon, every time I looked at any of their past fights against top 5-10 contenders In their division those fighters always look like they'd just escaped a brutal mugging, when In actuality they just got done going 5 RDs with a boogeyman. Fucking scary.

Tony is my favorite fighter. Me and my fighters got together to watch ufc 229 and immediately my friends were hooked on tony. He came in with a heavy chip on his shoulder in that fight only 6 months after shredding his knee. He put on fight of the year that night, on the night khabib and conor fought. I love this man genuinely and I hope he can get the closure he needs after UFC. he's had a hell of a career and I'm always gonna be a fan of him
Right on man! I have to admit that was the day I got hooked on Tony as well. I came to watch Conor vs Khabib as I was a casual and never watched a ppv before and I left a Tony fan and he's only grown on me more after seeing his interviews and training videos. I wish he never did that 2nd weight cut prior to the Justin fight or waited for Khabib, I think he would have given Justin a harder fight. Seeing him lose that fight felt like losing a family member man.
Ah man you missed prime Tony.. if your a big fan of Tony I suggest You go way back into his early days on the ultimate fighter show, see a glimpse of young crazy Tony. Truly a one of a kind
The fact that people say Robert went 10 rounds with Yoel as a feat goes to show how much of a monster Yoel was despite never being a UFC champ. I'm convinced that Yoel was stylistically a bad match up for GSP and that he would have been able to beat one of the greatest fighters of all time. He probably would have beat Michael Bisping too.
Well we know he can beat Weidman and Rockhold, both of which are better fighters than Bisping honestly. GSP would just get man handled the size difference is immense. Prime Silva gives him the most problems
This is the one. Wonderful video Tracy. Tony is my favorite fighter. I’ve been his supporter for years and glad you gave him some shine. Prime El Cucuy was SCARY!
Tbf it’s not like bisping was like this omalley or like poatan type character that the ufc protected and fast tracked to a title to try and make a bunch of money. Bisping was in the trenches for a LONG time fighting everyone and as a late minute replacement against a prime and literally terrifying champion in rockhold that was about as complete a fighter as it was at that time and a guy who’s beaten bisping before and with almost no notice for bisping and him coming off the couch and filming movies bisping went out there and captured the belt and completely shocked the entire ufc brass and mma community. Say what you will about the guy, whether you like him or not, and he’s he’s a dick and yes he once capturing the belt for sure the ufc decided to for a short time shelter him from guys like Whittaker and Romero and Souza and gave him guys like Henderson and later gsp after a long layoff but you can’t fault bisping for that, because obviously back in those days gsp was the draw at the time especially after being out that long and it wasn’t bisping who held things up but gsp playing hardball which also fair play and after a long and super up and down career for bisping to finally lay claim to the belt and with one eye mine you and fighting completely steroid free against a bunch of guys we KNOW were on the juice he wanted to make as much money as he could before he inevitably lost the belt and began to decline. Yeah again I feel for guys like Whittaker or Romero who I personally think would have been dominant reigning champions particularly Whittaker but I also get where bisping was coming from and the ufc as well. I think Whittaker at least will hold that belt again as well and this is particularly true if Chimaev ends up getting a title shot as I think Chimaev blows through adesanya but hits a roadblock in Whittaker that I’m not sure he can get through
Tony was done dirty by dana and ufc when McGregor taking the belt as hostage in tony's prime, also ufc promoted Whittaker as undisputed but not tony . Then he was done dirty his cte and his own toughness, double weight cuts ,taking fights on short notice.
Pretty accurate. The character Biscuit Oliva is based on Sergio Oliva the myth, bodybuilder and both Sergio and Joel were born in the same place in Cuba (pinar del rio) which means pine grove of the river. The five-time Olympic wrestling champion Mijail Lopez is also from that place. So I think there is something in that river that makes them mutate.
Boogeymen in mma is such an interesting concept. The fight which had boogeyman vs boogeyman was Yoel Romero vs Jacre Souza. It was like a pass of the torch moment for the boogeyman at middleweight.
@@suntansuperman598 Are you not 'putting your thought on izzy' by saying he is not scared of Alex? hahaha. One thing is for sure, that boy shat his pants with Yoel
His pride was his downfall. I truly believe if Tony never tore his ACL and fought Khabib he would have called his career by now. If he won, maybe he’d defend it once or twice, then he would hang up the gloves, proving he was always better than the UFC’s golden children in Conor and Khabib. If he lost to Khabib he would have been hit with the reality that Khabib really was too much of a challenge to climb. Tony has always talked like he his greatness was taken from him by Khabib’s and Conor antics, and the UFC never stopped to help him. It created this burn desire in the man to prove that he was worth more than either of them. Khabib hung up the gloves before Tony got a chance to fight him. 5 times they were meant to fight, 5 times the world said no. That does something to a man.
I disagree that Yoel was as scary in the Adelasagna fight as his previous fights, he got more defensive as time went on, almost like a counter-striker, just watch the Costa and Adesanya fights, he was more of a counter-puncher and he would wait.
@@jesselee653 homie if you are going to say that the statue of adensaya would have already grow mold, izzy fougth the same in most of its figth because counterstriking is a viable tactic and romero realized that if he gived adensaya the same coin he would have higher chances of destroying him, why romero would fear izzy, he is a cuban(one of the toughest places in the world while new zeland is 1 world country) world champion in freestyle wrestling who bas oblitarated every guy he has faced?

Tony Ferguson is undoubtedly the best lightweight in the UFC history, with or without a belt. In his prime, prior tearing his fibular collateral ligament, Tony Ferguson was an unstoppable machine.
I commented this on another video but Rockhold's run from Strikeforce and after his run in with trtvitor was so impressive. He was damn near perfect with the exception of his boxing defence. His personality seems to make folk forget how much of a beast he was. Also, Rumble at 205 is arguably the biggest boogeyman ever. Considering the monumental damage Glover has pushed through against knockout artists to then go on and win, only for Rumble to finish him in a few seconds. I still wish we had Rumble v Ngannou R.I.P.
Rockhold hard arguably some of the greatest ground and pound and a various amount of highly technical leg kicks..if it weren’t for his chin he would be one of the GOATs.. he was that good. Still a legend of the sport
Yeah Luke is a beast. Great kicker and underrated grappler. People clown his chin but he got ktfo by heavy hitters barring Bisping, who is still a good boxer himself.
Its interesting to contrast the two of them. Both creative and maybe not the most technical fighters, but different in their orientation (one a defensive counter fighter for the most part with fight ending power and a gifted tactician, the other all attrition based offense, weaponizing pace and at his best a strategist). Yoel the epitome of sheer physical talent while Tony was the epitome of hard work. But yeah, two of my favourite fighters and hopefully Hall of Famers in the future
I hope Yoel Romero gets the Bellator title!!! The fact he still competes at high level at his age is insane!!! #LaCandela I feel a bit sad for Tony Ferguson and how it ended but his career will be truly iconic. He just need to retire now like Cerrone.
Ik dude needs to respect fighters its easy for his ass to talk when his patty ass is making videos on men more successful than him and would literally turn his balls to dust
I think if a second version of this video ever comes out, Khamzat Chimaev has to be added, he literally picked up li jingliang and held him for a solid 6 seconds.
These 2 were true scary monsters in their prime leaving most of their opponents cut up, bloody or unconscious. Kudos to Whittaker eatin and surviving Romero's best shots on him
Love Tony and he looked amazing in the first round against Chandler. I hope he beats Bobby Green. Doubtful, but I hope he does. He looked slow and shit vs Diaz. Somebody send this video to Tony. He deserves to see this amazing tribute.
LoL Romero is literally wolverine made of adamantuim, Tony's toughness was legendary I think he broke against Gaethje before he bent and thank you for calling out Adesanya's running from Yoel for 25 min he looked so stupid saying he was going to finish him
@@champ1159 But if someone stands still aren't they a pretty good target? Whitaker didn't have a problem fighting Yoel why can't Izzy the "amazing striker" hit him first? Why can't a champ beat someone that is standing still ridiculous
That was a great video god damn, the script paired with the music and editing made it an amazing watch. Good job Lucas Tracy mma outdid urself with this video
I love Yoel but you leave out a whole lot of context. He was dominated by Brunson for the majority of the fight and most people would argue he robbed Jacare. That isn't really "running through"
Did you see his third round against brunson? Romero almost took him off of this earth lmao. It doesn’t matter if he was getting beat, he was never hurt, took flush head kicks in usual Romero fashion and eventually brunson broke
An inclusion you coulda made for the Yoel half, was that Tim Kennedy, who is a part of that legendary nine, ‘The Murderers Row’, actually almost finished Romero. He had to hold his glove but Yoel did sit on that stool for 30 seconds longer and thus stoolgate became a thing. And Tony’s part was way shorter than Yoel’s. Anyways I think you coulda made a point that Tony was forged in the fire of American individualism, through The Friday Night Lights, through the tough Wrestling mats, etc.. Only reason why I say Tony’s backstory through Football, Wrestling, Baseball coulda had more light shun on it was because people always speak on kalabeeb being from dagestan or how many others including yourself in this video speak on Yoel’s come-up through the communist/liberation of Cuba. Other than that, please keep these comin because this was fukin sick🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
There are scarier guys although some are arguable but definitely more intimidating than Ferguson tho like prime Ubereem, Francis, Derrick Lewis, Bigfoot, Rumble, Wanderlei, Rampage, Chuck, TRT Vitor, Cro Cop, Lawler, Cain Velasquez
@@TonySTMon2195 i guess everyone has different people who intimidate them When my father showed me ufc as a kid, wanderlei was intimidating the sht out of me, but chuck didnt at all, i also didnt see any talent just him brawling it out, his post fight celebration was the only thing that impressed me Don frye the same But i guess in those times noone really knew what they are doing , fight iq got invented afterwards :P

Me too
This is the best MMA video I've seen in a long time
Its interesting to contrast the two of them. Both creative and maybe not the most technical fighters, but different in their orientation (one a defensive counter fighter for the most part with fight ending power and a gifted tactician, the other all attrition based offense, weaponizing pace and at his best a strategist). Yoel the epitome of sheer physical talent while Tony was the epitome of hard work. But yeah, two of my favourite fighters and hopefully Hall of Famers in the future
Whats the backround music in 3:20?
this was great you should do more stuff like this
Looks like tony will be fighting bobby green next. I hope he can get back on track.
They’re both passed their primes I hope this is at least competitive
Tony via darce choke 💯
@@Realivangarcia hell nah Tony getting slapped
I thought he was supposed to fight Kevin Lee again
@@RealivangarciaBobby green went toe to toe with fiziev, he’s not that washed. That’s a tough fight for Tony but hopefully he gets that W
That Romero interview before the Izzy fight isn't chilling... that shit is FUNNY
This video needs more views and this channel deserves more subs
I hope Yoel Romero gets the Bellator title!!! The fact he still competes at high level at his age is insane!!!
#LaCandela
I feel a bit sad for Tony Ferguson and how it ended but his career will be truly iconic.
He just need to retire now like Cerrone.
Very dope video! I savor the romero vs rockhold fight the most 🎉🎉😅😅
Why he do Weidman like that 😂😂😂
He made Weidman sound like he wasn't the man to finish Anderson Silva twice 😂😂😂
Ik dude needs to respect fighters its easy for his ass to talk when his patty ass is making videos on men more successful than him and would literally turn his balls to dust
what's the name of this "scary" background music ?
I think if a second version of this video ever comes out, Khamzat Chimaev has to be added, he literally picked up li jingliang and held him for a solid 6 seconds.
what was the song in the intro
Thank you for giving Tony some credit
great vid, anyone know the name of the first song i really like it
Tony Ferguson
What’s the song with the piano I can’t quite remember and it’s killing me
After Dark - Mr. Kitty
its ironic that neither one of them won UFC gold
Could someone tell me the songs used in this? I would really appreciate it. It's all the commonly used ones now but I don't know what they're called
Yoel could easily compete in competative bodybuilding dude had the most insane genetics ive ever seen
great vid! keep it up lucas!
Tony's downfall was heartbreaking to see he was such a monster in his prime.
This was really great. Very enjoyable. I agree 100% 2 absolute boogeymen of MMA. And 2 future hall of famers
These 2 were true scary monsters in their prime leaving most of their opponents cut up, bloody or unconscious. Kudos to Whittaker eatin and surviving Romero's best shots on him
Bro I like your style, jokes here and there. Good stuff man
Pavlovich is the next boogeyman
That knee on Wiedman was crazy. Weidman was definitely one of my fav fighters when i was young. First fav fighter who got me into ufc
Imagine if Yoel debuted in his early or mid twenty’s……
This video was so good man. Thank you!!
Man I miss prime Tonny.
Well made video and a beautiful homage to 2 hero’s of the sport
soundtrack used at 14:40

Awesome vid
Subscribed vigorously
Love Tony and he looked amazing in the first round against Chandler. I hope he beats Bobby Green. Doubtful, but I hope he does. He looked slow and shit vs Diaz.
Somebody send this video to Tony. He deserves to see this amazing tribute.
I don't think he was trying against nate but idk. we'll see
Tony will always be my guy! 🔥💯 Sucks, we never got the Tiramisu bout.
awesome vid man, very in depth
Whats the song at 0:15 ?
its called sigma by tevez
Tevvez is a fucking legend bro
Tevvez is a fucking legend bro
And Zyzz
Darude - Sandstorm (Lucas Tracy curly headed f remix)
Tony will forever be my favorite fighter that 12 fight win streak of amazing fights will never be replicated
Great job on switching the video styles up!
Tony Ferguson could loose 100 times but he'd still be the man too me. #CSOFOREVER
The BOAT
Goat video my guy
Tony is my favorite fighter even with his 5 loss streak
great video, keep up that good work
IMO Tim Kennedy should have been given the win
Tony used to run up and down mountains, now hes ran up the win column and is running back down the loss column
LoL Romero is literally wolverine made of adamantuim, Tony's toughness was legendary I think he broke against Gaethje before he bent and thank you for calling out Adesanya's running from Yoel for 25 min he looked so stupid saying he was going to finish him
As if Yoel didn't just stand there like a starue
@@champ1159 But if someone stands still aren't they a pretty good target? Whitaker didn't have a problem fighting Yoel why can't Izzy the "amazing striker" hit him first? Why can't a champ beat someone that is standing still ridiculous
That was a great video god damn, the script paired with the music and editing made it an amazing watch. Good job Lucas Tracy mma outdid urself with this video
Zabit is also a Boogeyman. No one would fight him.
That dude is Matrix grade 😂
great video!
El Cucuy!
The D'arce knight!
CSO!
Best mma video i seen in awhile, why dont you do a part 2?
I love Yoel but you leave out a whole lot of context. He was dominated by Brunson for the majority of the fight and most people would argue he robbed Jacare. That isn't really "running through"
Did you see his third round against brunson? Romero almost took him off of this earth lmao. It doesn’t matter if he was getting beat, he was never hurt, took flush head kicks in usual Romero fashion and eventually brunson broke
Yoel would do nothing for 4 minutes and 30 seconds then randomly explode
But he did not run through
Sick video LT 🥶
Man needed to put that Izzy hate in there, literally couldn’t do 1 video without it Tracy😭
love the subtitles
An inclusion you coulda made for the Yoel half, was that Tim Kennedy, who is a part of that legendary nine, ‘The Murderers Row’, actually almost finished Romero. He had to hold his glove but Yoel did sit on that stool for 30 seconds longer and thus stoolgate became a thing. And Tony’s part was way shorter than Yoel’s. Anyways I think you coulda made a point that Tony was forged in the fire of American individualism, through The Friday Night Lights, through the tough Wrestling mats, etc.. Only reason why I say Tony’s backstory through Football, Wrestling, Baseball coulda had more light shun on it was because people always speak on kalabeeb being from dagestan or how many others including yourself in this video speak on Yoel’s come-up through the communist/liberation of Cuba. Other than that, please keep these comin because this was fukin sick🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
The thing about that incident is that yoel was told to continue to sit. Not really his fault
@@mystik8177 it was his fault
14:00 can anyone tell me the song name pls :P
There are scarier guys although some are arguable but definitely more intimidating than Ferguson tho like prime Ubereem, Francis, Derrick Lewis, Bigfoot, Rumble, Wanderlei, Rampage, Chuck, TRT Vitor, Cro Cop, Lawler, Cain Velasquez
Nobody was scared to fight them idiot. Boogeyman is a fighter ducked by others.
Hector lombard, palhares are themost intimidating ones
Chuck lidell doesnt even intimidate a toddler lets be real
@@backbone93 Cmon man prime Ice was a bad dude
@@TonySTMon2195 i guess everyone has different people who intimidate them
When my father showed me ufc as a kid, wanderlei was intimidating the sht out of me, but chuck didnt at all, i also didnt see any talent just him brawling it out, his post fight celebration was the only thing that impressed me
Don frye the same
But i guess in those times noone really knew what they are doing , fight iq got invented afterwards :P
@@backbone93 if we're talking pure intimidation, Fedor was the man.
Someone please! Whats thexsong name at the end
Adesanya lost that fight
Why cus Yoel landed one punch and almost secured a takedown?
