I remember watching this live. It made me a little sick in my stomach. I'm a dark age ufc fan but the energy and feeling of this with no crowd was so different. On top of that watching furg take that beating made me wanna cry inside.
Same. Hearing every shot land cleanly on Tony's face was hard to watch. When Tony faced Charles, it was easy to think that he just got outclassed by a superior grappler, but the fight against Dariush proved to me that Tony's fight against Justin changed him. Probably took a couple years off his life and definitely some level of CTE.
That’s why people don’t think it should be a popular sport. Dudes are getting there skull and face hit insanely hard probably causing permanent damage. When you see and hear the crowd and joe rogan it makes you not think about what’s really happening.
Yeah I had a very similar experience with this fight in particular. The first time switching I can remember hearing the punches so loud and tony just kept coming
@@rojanpadilla7541 Conor took Tony's chance to get the belt when Conor went to boxing and refused to fight. Justin took Tony's head. Charles took his arm. Beneil took his leg. They're taking everything Tony worked for ;-;
@@rojanpadilla7541 well he was the biggest boogeyman of the lightweight division and he was greater than some lw champs for sure even tho he never had the belt
He's 38 that's kind of old for UFC lightweights. Usually heavyweights and light heavyweights can still be competitive near 40 because speed isn't as important and speed and reflexes is the first thing to go as you age
It aged him like ten years and took any durability and elite fighting ability out of him. No one just take a beating like that. Tony at 38 could not afford damage like that, after round two, his coach should have thrown in the towel.
When you watch UFC and think to yourself I can do that but then all of a sudden see and hear how different it really is and start to second guess your decision in doing it lol
@@yeshuasage3724 Fighters just want it badly that's the main difference. Others feel pain and quit, those people continue despite the pain because they want to win badly(yeah it's also genetics some people can deal with pain better, some people are harder to knock out even if you hit them).
Justin throws that combo so quickly too. A better coach would have made adjustments, but those are tough shots to see coming and counter effectively. Especially against a guy like Justin who can fire so well in the pocket too
Tony getting quite literally beaten to death, rational response is to throw in the towel His corner instead really went "give me sand Tony, throw some sand"
Gaethje looked like a ferocious beast here,i love how each lightweight has their best career performances and they are huge af Mcgregor vs Alvarez Khabib vs Gaethje Poirier vs Hooker Gaethje vs Ferguson Oliveira vs Ferguson Dariush vs Ferguson Ferguson vs everyone he beat lol Xd
"That's a smart guys' sport. Tough guys will get hurt really badly" (C) Mike Tyson Tony could've tried to get it to the ground to submit Gaetjie. He just decided to stay and get hit instead

@@rojanpadilla7541 yes especially after tony took him down with his right shot at the end of the 2nd round, but after that tony started to recieve many shots. i appreciate how he supported many punches from gaethje another fighter would be knocked out earlier .
This will go down as probably the most carrear/life altering beatings ever seen in the ufc. I'd say Grey Maynard,Rory Mcdonald. Maybe Calvin Kattar (idk yet) but this is the worst one
Let's not forget Tony would have won that fight if Gaethje would not have been saved by the bell after that uppercut. Bit the amount of punishment he took after cost Tony everything. Fighting is bitch.
Such an amazing fight, with no audience. I kinda got these Sparring vibes while watching this. And I thought Soccer without Crowd Reactions was bad. Pretty sure it has an impact on a fighters performance, too. For some Athletes it may has a good influence because they may felt less pressured. But on the other hand, there are plenty of athletes who get fueled by getting cheers & fan support, from outside the octagon. But for us as audience, it takes away some of the vibe. Yet I'm glad they didn't use some Fake Crowd Chants & Voices to compensate that.
So hard to watch tony get hit so hard so many times but my god he’s fucking impossible to break. And Gathje, sending literal Abrams tank shells with every swing
That is a fight. Not 22 mins of ground control time doing the bare minimum so referee doesn’t split you apart, and not even getting a finish!! Cough cough Belal, almeida, Pantoja, sandhagen.
Tony is tough but his striking and movement is horrible, he overextends on almost every exchange which makes him very easily hittable and this is a mercy compared to what Dustin would have done to him.
@George Thomas sad to say but that’s what happens when you put your life at risk for money. These people are making a lot of money for brain damage and for our entertainment. Love Tony but I’m surprised Tony didn’t die. Aswell with Michael chandler.
Yeah, but Tony does himself zero favors. Idr if this was still his “I’m my own coach” phase, but he doesn’t surround himself with the best coaching. He could have had himself a useful corner, but he didn’t, so don’t really feel too bad for him. Someone absolutely should have thrown in a towel though.
Tf do u expect?! People act like the brain isnt getting rattled in ur skull!!! The brain never recovers thats why the goat discussion isn’t valid in combat sports, wear and tear and brain trauma changes you FAST! You can be the best fighter in the world, you take one shot and it can change the way u think forever, think about that!!
Everybody, no the casuals was saying gaethje would loose this, i bet on him and won. Seeing him destroying all those opponents was enough to give the credit.
Tony is the toughest light weight the UFC has seen in a long ass time. Never got KO’d in this fight, and Justin ain’t no pillow puncher. Oliviera had him in the gnarliest arm bar to the point to where his arm was on verge of snapping and he didn’t tap. Who cares that he lost twice in a row, Gaethje did too and look how strong he came back 👍
Why the hell are they sitting around not putting Justin in some fights? He's easily one of the most exciting fighters to ever grace the octagon. Win or lose the man always puts on a show
All of these fighters getting their third fight with same opponent, meanwhile, not one second of Tony vs Khabib has been recorded in human history. How unfortunate.
Just one of those shots will KO 90% of people. Tony ate about 50 of them and stayed on his feet, what a warrior
147 significate strikes landed
From the looks of his face that must've been some hard candy!
Tony and Max Holloway have chin made up of steel 🔥
What a vegetable
And now he’s half vegetable
This is like watching a superhero get beat to death when hes the world's last hope.
Exactly!
Nah
Nah 😂
I was backing gaethje this fight, one of the only people but I feel bad for tony afterwards
Fuck! Just hearing the punches alone is scary shit man. I back my boy el cucuy, but gaethje had him good.
This is a testament to how tough Ferguson is. This was pretty brutal and homie just kept going. Dope fight.
Lets pray for el cucuys comeback he needs us fans
Not even a facial expression
He was too tough. They should've stopped the fight after the third. He had the prime beat out of him.

This is just as much a tribute to Tony as it is to Justin.
I think that there's no chance for Tony to get that title (sad). He's more like a gate keeper right now. Last fight with Oliveira is so heartbreaking.
I literally cant even begin understand how tough T ferg is. Anyone else would’ve been asleep in the 3rd/4th. Championship heart

Small gloves make it extra brutal. A boxing match is more dangerous but it's less brutal
In these fights without an audience it is noted that even weak blows are tremendous
Justin took years off of Tony's life. Even Trevor (Justin's Coach) didn't want Tony to get punished like that. So heart breaking.
Tony aged 10 years in this fight
“Nobody hit me harder than Justin Gaethje” -Khabib
That looping cross and left hook combo is deadly🔥 Tony is too tough for his own good
Justin throws that combo so quickly too. A better coach would have made adjustments, but those are tough shots to see coming and counter effectively. Especially against a guy like Justin who can fire so well in the pocket too
Tony's corner failed him.
Big fucking time
He made weight twice in 2 weeks that's was his mistake
Tony getting quite literally beaten to death, rational response is to throw in the towel
His corner instead really went "give me sand Tony, throw some sand"
His corner was Eddie Bravo and I think he was just filling in as the main cornerman.
A classic of case of being too tough for one's own good. This fight ended Tony's career.
Hard to watch
Hard to watch it live. I thought Tony will Knock Justin out after the second round. But Justin started to beat him up after the second round.
Gaethje looked like a ferocious beast here,i love how each lightweight has their best career performances and they are huge af
Mcgregor vs Alvarez
Khabib vs Gaethje
Poirier vs Hooker
Gaethje vs Ferguson
Oliveira vs Ferguson
Dariush vs Ferguson
Ferguson vs everyone he beat lol
Xd
I'd say tony's best performance was RDA cos he slowly built and beat the shit out of a former champ.
lightweight is such a good division
Porque RUclips me traduce "Hooker" como "Prostituta "
Dustin vs gaethje is a great performance
If i can take one from your list it will be Hooker vs Porier
This fight just changed Tony's career.

Damn. I forgot how crazy the fight was and the atmosphere (at least the punch sounds). That was a special point in the UFC.
Tonys a beast for taking that much damage and just kept going back for more
It's crazy how Tony Ferguson took these vicious punches and kept fighting...
0:50 "stop the fight ref please" exactly what we were all thinking..
This fight changed Tony the same way Robbie changed Rory. Hard to watch just this part
Don't forget, after Round 2 when Justin threw with less power but more precise shots. Still sounds strong
Tony's face broke gaethjes hands
0:05 He didn't just walked into the punch. He crashed his head into it. What a chin. Not even bothered.
Gaetjhe Punch Was Brutally
8 years undefeated and no title such bs

Acorrding to Khabib, Justin has the hardest punch among his last opponents
Well sir, I found your problem. The block button on your controller is broken
This is called being too tough for your own good. That's when your corner needs to step in and throw in the towel
Everytime I feel bad I come here
CTE is a scary thing. God bless.
The no commentary is awesome 🔥 anyone know how we can watch some more fights like this?
I wish all fights where like this close up so you could hear all the sound of the hits. Makes it more exiting to watch.
"Stop the fight ref"
Thats when u realize these guys diserve more payment
Hold on I’m crying brother 😭
The sound of punches just shows hot much of power those punches have. It really makes it intense

tony has the strongest chin in ufc , i never seen anyone get punched so hard and still not getting dropped !

If Tonys corner wouldve just thrown in the towel in round 3/4 he wouldnt have gotten his career ended
They fell into excitement, 1st row chair thats why
The UFC did that empty arena thing for over a year, and never figured out how to put their commentators in a sound booth.
The fact that he never went down is crazy
Any of those punches would have ended my life
This time Tony career is finish
Justin kept slapping the hell out of that weirdo face. Where's the wing Chun? Tony can't box
That's kind of hard to watch.
Yeah I honestly feel like this was Herb Dean worst performance. He should have stopped that fight way sooner

I agree. He just took so many power shots in one sitting that it's a question of how fresh will he ever be in future fights imo

This is just some beautiful boxing by Justin! Been watching him since his UNC days, I got to see him wrestle since I lived 20 min from that college!
Ferguson used up all his toughness with this one. Most people couldn’t take two of that punches
