Enjoy Tony while we’ve got him, we’ll never have another guy like him.
Did we just become best friends!?
But we have Better Khabib
That's exactly what folks aren't understanding !
Amen to that
@@KHALEDFX22
Never knew Marlon had fans
Why is dc talking like he don't wanna wake his wife up?
Because he probably dont wanna wake his wife up?
@@SehMatjoe hahaha u win 😂✌️
Corona
Bc he's betraying Khabib lol
because if khabib hears it he'll beat him up...
I feel like Tony cuts weight every Friday and doesn’t even know it’s weird
“Yo excess fat, scram!”
this comment legit made my day
I totally respect the dedication to his martial art that tony displayed. His victory on this trial was definitely spiritual. Oss to el cucuy 👏🏻
Jackson Hill Khabib was probably 200 pounds the day Tony weighed in 😂
Ray Flacco 😂
@@rayflacco3980 lm not an expert, but khabib looks like he couldn't get up to 200 pounds.
@@jeffalbillar7625... Thats usually what he walks around lol 190-200
@@eldenlean5221 really. He looks very thin and lanky. But then again, if he's taller, he would have more weight. Thanks for the reply.
Tony Ferguson would make an onion cry
Marmite Oneverything And still losing your Khabib
@@kang7664English please and khabib is scared of tony
@@kang7664 I run to mudhut and eat tiramisu. - Khabib.
Marmite Oneverything 😂😂😂😂 best comment yet
Zene Life maybe it’s because he’s never been matched with someone who has equal or greater mental strength and equal skills and is the most unpredictable
Tony fought Pettis only 6mos post knee surgery AND after rehabbing it on his own. Do not question his actions.
and had the performance of the year, or fight of the year. I forget which award they gave him
@@mistermiyagi6073 either 1 was good...eh
@IVEY 96 he made cowboy quit after that aswell.
I was crazy seeing pettis kicking his legs and he didnt stop
@@Blackhawk211 yep Cowboy I'm pretty sure blew his nose on purpose so the ref or Doctor would call the fight and honestly I might have done the same, lol...his face was battered up pretty bad.
Tony is the real 155 pound champ. He showed up and made weight just like in wrestling, if your opponent doesn't make weight or show up he loses. Tony was making a point. Tony is obsessed with mma on another level. Working like a madman for no reason, just for the sake of perfecting his entire passion. That is the ultinate inspiration.
...he IS... the Ultimate Fighter. 👊🏼
Well you only win the match in wrestling if the fight wasn't cancelled
Maybe tony should have travelled to Belarus to fight khabib when khabib found location , he expects khabib to travel but he won’t travel himself.
@@gameraesthetics7085 or maybe Khabib shouldn't have left California, the SAME state Tony is in, when the fight was only 3 weeks away! Smh
Tony came along In the wrong era. Imagine him fighting 3 guys in one night or under pride rules.
I totally agree but I also think we're lucky to have a guy like him in this era being a total boss
Aj Pope he could totally pull it off and run through them like a berserker
Love Tony but I think Tony takes too much damage to fight multiple times a night but that would be insane.
Crazy to think Khabib could have fought Dustin Conor and it probably Barboza all in the same night and win the exact same way
agreed, the man is a warlord
Ok Braveheart
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to cut weight for a fight that is not happening 😂🤣
What a legend!
Its so old dude..literally
@@leeharris3061 Tony ferguson the type of guy to say its new
@@jjdddz7867 go read my OTHER comment

@@Will_Reyes4 nice
DC with a cold , whispering so Corona can't find him . Boss move !
AquanautSt1 weakkk😂😂😂
lmao !
Dc has the better takes in MMA
Rigourz DC’s takes are soo much better than Ariel and Chael’s
Amen.
PARK Didn’t I see you saying the same stuff in varrock West Bank???
@PARK sir this is a Wendys drive thru.
@@jalen1973 there's always that guy lol
He has the longest win streak without out a title shot in Ufc history
and he is about to be the first 2 time interim champ aswell
The Volcanic Masochist Idk, I wish he would just fight khabib but with Ramadan khabib is going to be out for a long while, if gaethje beats him ima be pissed
@@Blackhawk211 Haha just imagine Tony walking around with 2 belts
@@Blackhawk211
When Cruz was injured in 2013 Renan Barao won the interim belt and he actually defended it twice.
@@sarcasticgenius8563 Defended the same belt twice. Tony is going to be a 2 time interim champ. Without losing a fight. Theres a difference between defending one belt multiple times and winning multiple belts
I don’t like the way Ariel speaks on tony, like dc said; discipline to the max
The ufc and Ali set tony up, they'll do about anything to make conor v khabib rematch.
@@davidbell1487 are you a casual or what .. Conor is a money draw
Chris Pierno Conor still doesn’t deserve a title shot and tony shouldn’t be having to clean out the division for khabib
5:30 I completely love how DC turned it around on Ariel and basically asked him, why the neagitivity? Basically asking him to explain himself and his loser mentality lol
Yep, Ariel the guy who told Anthony Smith to take a DQ loss to get the title. Like stfu bro
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy he definitely should have done that. Took a knee to the head, whilst downed. Even if you're a boss fighter with a lion heart.. That messes with you. And it's illegal. And he should have been disqualified.
Honestly all these anylists that have never trained/fought always looking for the easy way. And thats the difference in mentality that drives these fighters. They are warriors and that is why smith wouldnt want that belt through a dq, its something most men cant understand.
its one of the reason why a lot of fighters hate ariel, im not a fighter and here I am hates him more than ever😂
Some people dont understand its not always about money or materialistic things tony wanted to do this for himself im sure he feels amazing right now just a personal mental achievement
"Just how disciplined Tony Ferguson is ?"
-Daniel "The Bad Guy" Cormier
DC broadcasting from the house he broke into
Brennan Huff haha
Hahaahha good one!
Ahahahah
Ha ha,one of the funniest comments I have read.
Waiting for breakfast to be served
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to pay his bills with reality checks
This is the best one i have seen.
That’s really real
That actually made me chuckle proper!
Lmfao dude
This one I like
Tony Ferguson’s a real fighter, no proper 12, Tiramisu just dedication to MMA
Still not a real Mexican..
Fundamental Bear fights like a Mexican, how do you fight?
@@fundamentalbear8347 still not an American. Hes definitely Mexican
@@fundamentalbear8347 But a real human being!!! And a real fighter, not even your boys Conor and Khabib can't deny that.
Tony fights Mexican style that's why khabitch and conor will never fight him!!
Im a khabib fan but whether your a khabib fan, tony fan or even a connor fan you can’t help but love and respect dc. Such a fair good honest human being
EDIT: to the guys offended because i didn’t name every single fighter and what ever relax I’m just giving an example, and yes you can be a fan of all three i never said you can’t. People are so easy to miss the point.
I love how he took the highroad when jon jones screws up.
I like how you wrote that as if you couldn't possibly be a fan of more than one of those guys.
@@sarcasticgenius8563 fr thats weird
Don't understand why people can't be fans of all three fanboys are so annoying and disrespectful for others abilities
DC for the most part gives the fighter's view of the sport. He's a great hire by ESPN.
Tony is a wild man... No way this dude don't inspire you ... I'm still surprised he cut the weight ... Weight cut IS NOT EASY and it's dangerous
ZOEY AND CLEY living on the edge, like a desperado!
Not Easy and Dangerous are Tony's bread and butter
He self taught himself to do wing chun enough said.
Tony's conscious: you probably shouldn't say that
Tony: hold on, I'm talking brother
😁
Don't try and get inside Tony's head as to why he did it. It's a one way ticket to The Twilight Zone 😵
im still gonna risk it though. I think he wants to make weight so he can add another point to the pull out game of chicken he's having with khabib and currently ahead by 2 i think lol.
@@braveheart4603 khabib pulled out twice Tony pulled out twice then khabib had a pandemic global shutdown and the time Tony was talking to walls
dude save yourself im stuck in twilight zone.
Follow the madness. Alice you know once did!
s4squatch1 lol I know right, you’ll get lost
Tony is so cool he makes ice look warm. This is the kinda guy you have to respect. He’s dedicated to his work and he does it like no one else. 👌
He is just an absolute dedicated martial artist. A TRUE martial artist some would say. Not doing this just for the money but doing it for himself and the respect for the sport. Absolute respect to the man
He might not be fighting yet but he’s gained a lot more fans by cutting weight,plus the fans he already had love him even more. On top of that Conor is fighting at 170 because he doesn’t want to cut
Wilbert Wilbert : The weight cut seems an added benefit to Conor fighting at 170...avoiding the meat-grinder of Gaetje-Tony-Khabib seems to me the main reason. He'll wait for them to pick each other off, so he only has to contest one. As of today, I see Conor winning maybe one of those 3 fights.
Why is Tony making weight so special? I watched a chael sonnen video praising him too.
Tony had a face off with himself in the mirror during his weigh-In, Both fighters had to pulled apart.
Stolen
From mma world comment section
Lmfao
😂😂😂
I think Tony won that face off.
Even if tony never gets that shot he definitely is one of the very best in the history of ufc
I just couldn't agree with you more! He is such a tremendous fighter and his resilience and dedication are 2nd to none. He will be remembered forever as one of the GREATEST UFC fighters to ever enter the octagon, title shot or not!
DC is using his indoor voice.
I'm not used to that.
Tony ferguson and David Goggins need to meet
No they don't. That would be dangerous AF.
Goggins was talking about Tony doing this a couple days ago
@@Charlie-qy1fc link ?
@@gersonmunoz4372 it's on david's Facebook page
@@MapleBar777 lol
DC should work full-time @ ESPN
I would love to see David Goggins and Tony train together. I find them to have a lot of similarities.
Tony Ferguson's the type of guy that David Goggins looks up to.
@McNugget Fan Goggins good with guns/knives/explosives, Tony good with fists/feet/elbows/unarmed. Totally separate training background.
Very similar mindset
@McNugget Fan No. No. No. Striking and hand to hand combat with a knife are not similar at all. You can give any UFC striker or even the best, most skilled boxer in the world a knife and he would slice himself to shreds in a knife fight.
McNugget Fan He was just saying that they have different training backgrounds. Obviously the championship caliber MMA fighter is a better athlete. Your point about “anybody can be good with X, Y, Z” was silly though. That logic applies to everything.
Love DC's take, really appreciate his honesty.
Can't but respect the Tony mentality and now I want him to beat Justin and finish the year off beating Khabib and getting the title he deserves. WAR Ferguson.
Alcucuyyyyyyyyyy ahooo ahoooooooohh
@Ryan M Tony is a bad matchup for anyone. But Gaethje might just be the only hard matchup for Tony.
Tony's putting everything at risk by taking this fight. for justin this is the golden ticket to the title shot. But if tony loses there is no way he will get the title shot any time sooner and this is not a boss move at all.
@@gourabkar2780 Dustin Porier beat JG and I'm sure Tony will as well
Tony has next level cardio .
DC all respect. You the tony, I mean you the man
"Hey, how you doing little momma let me whisper in ya ear." Daniel Cormier
Oh no 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣
Hlw..can u tell me if ufc event happens then opponent vr opponent maybe change?or it will be same as before?
Tony Ferguson needs good promotion from UFC.
He's star material. His work ethic is insane...
That weight cut was ingenious promotion on his behalf.Even the casuals appreciate him now.And he's doing it all whilst still keeping it real.
why is dc whispering? lol
khabib in the other room eating tiramisu
bob mcbobson he’s at home lol kid probably sleeping lol
So Jon Jones can’t hear him.
@@codyddd3634 Hahaha
I just want to Tony Run By and Scream WOOOOOO
Whys DC so scared to talk to Ariel.. 🤣
Rokamoyo fu DC afraid to talk about “El Cucuy”
I think he's scared of his wife like a mofo... C'mon talk up... Its Espn for gods sake
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to inspire people... 😀👍..
Mental Victory ⚾️ ~CSO ~ 🏆
Says the dude who weighed in at 206.2 pounds. Held a towel and then screwed Rumble out of 10%.
Tony the type of the guy who answer the questions with a shadow boxing
fo sho even his jump-roping an inspiration
Its boss move couse everybody talking about it now.... great marketing for Tony
Someone gets it
Fun Fact: DC was holding himself up with a towel through this entire interview.
There will never be another Tony type of guy. Nothing but respect and prayer for him.
DC - ASMR
Wow, who knew how logical and articulate DC can be...
Win or lose , Tony is the man man, Champ Champ...All Day🏋️🤸🧗🏂🕴️🕴️🕴️
Tony to Khabib: You look like Cormier right now
Cormier: 😥
Tony Ferguson is the kind of guy to demand the entire Goodfellas crew bring him their shine boxes
Tony Ferguson's entire life is a boss move. The dude did the carpentry and architecture and cement and the electrical wiring work and built his entire faciltiy in Big Bear. Himself.
Rapportus5 most underrated fighter and human.
‘That dude is in tune with what he wants to be’ - DC
Was DC filming in his local library?
It's not only a boss move it's a powerful psychological message to Khabib.
tony ferguson the greatest fighter ever in the UFC, of all time, once in a lifetime.. the next Muhammad Ali. he will be remembered as the G.O.A.T when he no longer fights
All respect to El Cucuy - he is a future hall of famer.
"Most guys, when they hear that their fight is off, they run to their nearest restaurant that serves their favorite food" Coming from the man that knows something about food
This guy giving props and respect to a great person is special. *DC is the man!*
Dcs been told to keep it down 🤣
His wife and kids are sleeping its called respect for the household.
Tony Ferguson is the kind of guy who suffers through a weight cut for no rewards and nothing... DC spoke from my heart! I absolutely agree with all he said. I think we all should give Tony respect for suffering through the weight cut. Absolutely amazing statement! Because that's what it is! A statement of pride and dedication.
Meanwhile Khabib is just chillin in Russia bumping Freddie Dred
And eating tiramisu
Props to Danial. It's really hard not to like the guy. At least he's honest.
we love DC, make him part of your show! :) Also DC, make a youtube channel like uncle cheal :p
Tony Ferguson IS the kind of guy.
Ariel talking like he a fighter lmaoo
I love Tony "Elcucuy" Ferguson.. ChampShitOnly.. ❤️💙
Nightmares play Doom on Tony Ferguson Mode
thanks DC for your kind/honest words!
Tony the type of guy to gain weight just to cut it
DC I hope you're not sick you sound different buddy. I hope you and your family are healthy because we love you DC.
Tony the hero we deserve
Lmao DC has to be quiet so Khabib doesn’t hear him 🤣😂🤣😂
Look at Helwani talking like he knows anything about a weight cut or fight preparation.
John Boylan he used to fight professionally for your information.
@@alexharper9819 Helwani used to fight? That is news to me
Alex Harper no he didn’t lmao
He’s been cutting weight his whole life, look at the size of him
@@mehammladluzdakik8412 I'm guessing this new ESPN casuals think DC is helwani lol
Keep the same energy if god forbid he misses weight and doesn't get the interim if he wins.
Why is DC talking like a Ninja😂
Hyooo 😅
Hlw..can u tell me if ufc event happens then opponent vr opponent maybe change?or it will be same as before? I asked the question for khabib vr tony
DC whispering like his kids are asleep... Bruh
We’ll see if its a “boss move” when he has to cut weight AGAIN in two weeks
Tony Just earn my respect
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to do a dark souls roll when his grandmother hugs him
if tony wins this fight everyone will know he is the man and there is no question about that, tony took the fight to make a name for himself and to beat one of the best in the lightweight division and if he does it, it’s gonna be awesome
Putting yourself in a near death experience with weight cutting is crazy, but not as crazy as having a system that encourages fighters to do this on a regular basis.
Huge respect to Tony, I've done a very similar weight cut just to see what its like, I cut from 132 to 115. I give huge props to anyone else who does this just because.
Mbn i like being around 170- 155 but but I gain weight fast so I'm around 190-202 lb
Is DC's kids sleeping or something? I feel like I've never heard him speak so softly.
He’s stoned bruh
Love DC. Could listen to his fight analysis all day. Just gets it and knows the fight game better than most. DC & Dom Cruz are the most enjoyable commentators.
Ronda Rousey did this during TUF to prove that she could do it when one of the fighters couldn’t make weight.
and nobody gave that the air it deserved
Tony Ferguson is the kind of guy to make weight for a cancelled UFC event, to fight for a belt he never lost and to earn a title shot that he already has. This guy is a legend..
The biggest mistake ever 😢😢😢
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to interview Ariel Helwani...
Tony is the type of guy to make weight to tease khabib Tiramisu
Why? Because the fight is against himself, first. .This man has command of his mind, body and soul. That’s why.
Either dc is a lying piece of SH! T or khabib is a coward.
Meanwhile a bunch of internet people will try to tell Tony how to win a MMA fight.
This man is the best 55er around. Hope Kahbib is able to fight him at some point.
2:35 answer to his question should be simple. Tony said it best “Mental toughness” his performance shouldn’t be impacted by the weight cut because he’s always in control. He’s always gonna be where he needs to at the right time and if he’s not ready he’s gonna power through it no excuses.
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to reveal that's he's been fighting is whole career with 2 glass eyes
There is a reward and Tony knows it. The reward is conversations in videos like this where they praise him for his commitment. He also knows his future opponents see this.
Lol all the opening mannerisms from DC are like when you just smoked the best weed of your life xD
Random thought: Tony Ferguson vs Gamebred Masvidal ... let them rock out with their cox out at 170...who would say no to that?
Chino Peras dumbest idea ever
Probably Masvidal
165
That fight is coming Tonys last run will be at his original weight and let's hope Jorge is champ Mexican stand off 3 belts on the line
This should have been the BMF fight
Tony is proving he was on track. There's no denying his preparation!
Let's just sit down and appreciate how awesomely wierd n cool Tony is....
"Why would he fight?" Because he believes he's the best and if you believe you're the best, then you'll fight anyone.
"Tony Ferguson is a boss" Cormier just gave Ferguson his reward!
