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
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
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).
@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.
@@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 .
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
@@addyfilmConsidering how good Tony's submissions were, I never understood why he never used his wrestling offensively to help set those takedowns up?
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.
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 👍
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.
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
The beating Justin gave to Tony in an empty area where you can hear all those brutal shots land, was pretty jarring to watch. Changed Tony's career forever for the worse
Brother tony receive some serious damage justin hit like a truck khabib said in his statement those injury tony taken by justin changed his career getting worst 😢😢

This is a testament to how tough Ferguson is. This was pretty brutal and homie just kept going. Dope fight.

He was too tough. They should've stopped the fight after the third. He had the prime beat out of him.

This is like watching a superhero get beat to death when hes the world's last hope.
Exactly!
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.
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

It's not easy to forget, but definitely is shrouded under the glitz and glamor
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.
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

@@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
Watching Tony flinch before some of those shots were even thrown is heartbreaking.
In these fights without an audience it is noted that even weak blows are tremendous
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
Is it me or did this beating make Tony age like 5 years at least? He looks way older now and it's only been over a year since this fight. Scary shit

Small gloves make it extra brutal. A boxing match is more dangerous but it's less brutal
0:50 "stop the fight ref please" exactly what we were all thinking..
“Nobody hit me harder than Justin Gaethje” -Khabib
The sound of punches just shows hot much of power those punches have. It really makes it intense
Prolly one of the best/ most vicious fights. No crowd made it that much more magical. Huuuuuge Tony fan. Can’t wait to see em back again.!.!.!

@George Thomas also a fight style match up. Tony eats a lot of shots like Nate Diaz. Can’t do it for ever. You’ll eventually pay your price.
Tony aged 10 years in this fight
This fight just changed Tony's career.
A classic of case of being too tough for one's own good. This fight ended Tony's career.
0:10 the OHH from Rogan😭
Anik
0:34 nasty one
0:21 nastyyyy one

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.

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.
Really cool. Watching this without commentary is like watching a dark match in the WWE
I got back into this sport to witness this showdown, and it’s still unforgettable
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
Ok but I still love Tony, the fact that he even was able to handle half of those punches without serious injury is still wild to me
I could cry at how beautiful this sounded
It's crazy how Tony Ferguson took these vicious punches and kept fighting...
0:38 hard to watch. Brutal fight.
Tonys a beast for taking that much damage and just kept going back for more

This was extremely satisfying to watch, remember when tony ferguson brought up raider’s kid on TUF? I love this and the chandler ko so much😂
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!
The fight that turned El Cucuy into an active retired fighter. It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen live
Damn. I forgot how crazy the fight was and the atmosphere (at least the punch sounds). That was a special point in the UFC.
Tony ate some savage punches here and kept going forward.
The man is built different he just never quits
0:05 He didn't just walked into the punch. He crashed his head into it. What a chin. Not even bothered.
toughest fight i've watched in 15 years
This fight changed Tony the same way Robbie changed Rory. Hard to watch just this part
This is called being too tough for your own good. That's when your corner needs to step in and throw in the towel
Don't forget, after Round 2 when Justin threw with less power but more precise shots. Still sounds strong
Bro those shots sounded brutal 💀
Never seen anyone hit the Opponents Fists with his Face so damn precise like Ferguson.
Gaetjhe Punch Was Brutally
Acorrding to Khabib, Justin has the hardest punch among his last opponents
I love how you hear Trevor say stop the fight ref! Sportmanship!
"Stop the fight ref"
Tony really was never the same after this fight. He took a lot of punishment
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.
Hold on I’m crying brother 😭
Unpopular take: I REALLY wanna see Gaethje in BKFC….
Everytime I feel bad I come here
He leans and moves forward when he punches. That's some crisp boxing technique.
CTE is a scary thing. God bless.
Such an amazing fight, with no audience.

He puts 100% in each punch impressive
Trevor actually told him to pull the punches a little so he could be more crisp with them. Told him to take 10% off after the first round.
people who dont fight will never get it man
Tony's face broke gaethjes hands
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.
147 strike 😮

The fact that he never went down is crazy
I'll be on floor with that first punch💀
He was smiling after taking those shots.

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
yeah but gaethje wasn't 36 when he lost twice ..
