I’m a Gaethje fan and was rooting for Justin all the way but damn it man still got love for Tony, it was rough to see him take that beating. A beautiful masterpiece performance can still be hard to watch, gotta love this sport haha
The way ferguson shakes his head at the end of the fight, battling unconsciousness, is something I will never forget. Talk about the heart of a fucking champion. Dude was down to throw hands until his body legitimately gave up on him
I know. And khabib had the audacity to make fun of him. Saying he ran away from Justin shaking his head. But I bet he celebrated when Tony lost. He never wanted that fight.
@@jebise9834 I think khabib would roll tony, but people seem to want to ignore how he acts towards other fighters. If there wasn't a language barrier, he would be as bad as connor or covington any time another fighter talks shit. He can't control himself when people start tossing insults at him
Man this fight shoulda been better. Tony had been training for khabib for so long and all of a sudden he has to box instead of wrestle. I think khabib would win like 60 40, but honestly I feel like he wouldn't have been able to keep tony on the ground. He definitely would not have tapped him so it would have been super entertaining watching tony give khabib trouble with unorthodox striking.
@@jebise9834 he got shalacked lol. He was a deer in the headlights in the closing moments. This dude truly should be scientifically studied . Justin pummeled him. It was like watching the nice weird kid get beat up by the senior because he scuffed his shoes.
@@libra6660 cant tell what your tryna say bur i think he meant tony knocked down gaethje once and furg was never knocked down after those brutal punches
Tony should've not taken the fight, Gaethje was just gonna eat him. It's not skill; it's size that defined this fight, needless to mention how hard he hits.
@@jaredmartin7040 because he leaves his chin up, turns his back on opponents ect. His skill set is unusual along with his creativity but justin exposed that all you need are feet and counters for tony thats why pettis and cowboy couldnt beat because they engaged in a war
It puts a whole new perspective on it when you can actually hear the strikes. During normal times the crowd is so loud you can't hear what a fight sounds like this is crazy to listen to.
Aside from the one good uppercut he caught gaethje with earlier in the fight, ferguson got the piss bet out of him , didn’t need to take the fight but still did, how he was still standing I will never know
I feel like his mental health played a part in his ability to keep standing. I don’t think anyone could have survived the beating he took. Looks absolutely horrible to watch.
One thing I'm just now realizing about this fight, there wasn't a single time they grappled or even got tied up in the clinch. Just a pure striking preformance
How he was standing after the first solid hit 😲. Then all the other one's that followed 😔. Good thing I'm not a ref I would've stopped the fight alot sooner.
Tony had some of the craziest endurance to stay up that whole fight. But don’t forget he did lose by TKO when Herb Dean came to save him in the 5th round
Tony hasn't been the same since he had the mental breakdown. I hope for the sport and himself and his family he can get back to where he was. He is an amazing fighter and tough as a coffin nail.
Tony had to fight Justin... no question about it. Justin didn't steal anything. He fucking earned it. Tony is not a smart human. He is a good fighter. But Tony is dumb as a stump.
Absolutely ruthless ...such a dangerous fighter was put to sleep by the injured khabib with ease. Khabib must retire for these kids to fulfill their dreams of holding the belt!
@@hakeemandbirdoverrated2142 Before ufc254: khabib wont be able to take justin down..justin got the wrestling game, NCAA Division 1 , lethal kicks, hard puncher..he is the only guy who can beat khabib. After ufc254: aaah justin is a poor wrestler, khabib is a grappler 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gaethje is a really good striker nobody can handle him for 3 rounds, you need to have a really good ground game to overcome his striking, otherwise he'll gonna make you defenseless...
I don’t understand how Ferguson was even alive after this fight. Hats off to him. And he even dropped Justin. But Justin has a heart like none other. I truly think he would fight to the death in stand up. Always fun to watch this man. Keep it up.
You have to take into consideration how fast Justin’s hands were flying at his face. Justin put all his weight and power and speed into some of those. If he didn’t land a few of those real big ones, he would’ve knocked himself down
The scariest part was how Justin would land haymaker after haymaker and Tony would come back for more like a hungry Lion. Justin completely wore him down but he probably experienced the most fear during his fight with Tony.
During Covid which I can't remember if this was during then the UFC fights had another raw layer added to it. Without the live audience you were able to hear the Punches, Kicks, Takedowns/ Slams, Elbows & Knees etc much more vividly. Reminded me of watching sparring videos, definitely an interesting time in UFC & S/O to Dana for keeping the sport alive during that time and whether you agree or not he stood 10 toes on it which commands respect from myself man to man
The next generation's equivalent of Joe Rogan will be talking about the COVID era fights and how raw they were without the sound of the crowd, and he'll be talking about this one fight that was so brutal where the one guy just blasted the other guy in the face over and over again until he was running away shaking his head trying to get his senses back.
One of the most brutal fights ever. It was hard to watch kinda.
Yes indeed

So that he wont gas quickly
@@jayrjrjayrjr822yep. Trevor Whitman tells Justin “Take 10% off of your shots, you’re trying to kill him!”.
It wasn’t out of pity though
Justin would be the person to have beside you in a bar fight. Dude is built for bar fighting
No, hed accidentally kill someone
You would catch a charge
Tony was just conditioning 3 things: his face, consciousness and finally his ego. Nothing to see here, that's all.
The fuck are you talking about? 🤣
Lmao, I love how there's this less-than-enthusiastic perspective on his chin
@@SerendipitousProvidence are you sick in the fucking head?
Tony's toughness became a curse when he fought Justin.
Good call. He was a lot more hurt than he was letting on. His feet were holding him up but everything else is wanting to switch off LOL
That shit should have been stopped long before it was
@@badmonkey2222 agreed
It puts a whole new perspective on it when you can actually hear the strikes.
During normal times the crowd is so loud you can't hear what a fight sounds like this is crazy to listen to.
Connor would of been got knocked out with one of those hits from Justin !! Tony a real Warrior never quits!!
Prime Conor would have ko’d both.
@@marktube5732you're delusional
That’s heart wrenching stuff so much respect for Justin. His heart passion, and dedication
Good point
He will never be the same, one of the most brutal fights in the UFC to date. Tony is as tough as they come
You were right
respect for tony , a great warrior
Aside from the one good uppercut he caught gaethje with earlier in the fight, ferguson got the piss bet out of him , didn’t need to take the fight but still did, how he was still standing I will never know
For real he’s a tough bastard
I feel like his mental health played a part in his ability to keep standing. I don’t think anyone could have survived the beating he took. Looks absolutely horrible to watch.
Crazy to think someone can get hit this hard and not be at least dazed for a second.
Wtf are you talking about? Lmao his brain was spazzing tf out there at the end. Justin beat the skills and career off of Tony bro.
One thing I'm just now realizing about this fight, there wasn't a single time they grappled or even got tied up in the clinch. Just a pure striking preformance
this was the beginning of the end for Tony RIP
How he was standing after the first solid hit 😲. Then all the other one's that followed 😔. Good thing I'm not a ref I would've stopped the fight alot sooner.
I love the crowdless fights, hearing the punches connect and the grunts takes these fights to another level.
Sorry but im convinced Tony likes to get his ass whooped
I think he's losing vision cause he gets punched in the face way too much for someone at this level
Justin loading up on those punches looks like he's hurling a baseball at Tony's face.
God damn, I felt every one of those punches through my Phone.
Damn...!!!!! The sound of the hits... Jesus...!
Tony was just wearing the other guy out, giving him a false sense of security...
This is something I would like to believe
Ah so that's why Justin couldn't beat Khabib after
Yeah wearing him out with his face lol
Nate vs Tony for the hardest chin in the sport
Two Mexican Americans going at it
Max got the best chin
Man this fight felt like watching your dad cry, so heartbreaking
More like watching your dad get violently interrogated but he refuses to give in… 😢
Tony had some of the craziest endurance to stay up that whole fight. But don’t forget he did lose by TKO when Herb Dean came to save him in the 5th round
"Justin Gaetje he hits like truck"
-Khabib
Fuck I love rewatching this. Gaethje’s performance was 99% perfect besides that uppercut Tony landed at the end of RD 2
Man those Covid fights were a different dynamic. It was like being in the gym. You could hear everything.
That's a Chin and heart you are just born with. You can't just practice or work on that Shit. 💯
Or toughness & guts, he fought a bigger man too; his only advantage in that & on paper was just reach.
Tony hasn't been the same since he had the mental breakdown. I hope for the sport and himself and his family he can get back to where he was. He is an amazing fighter and tough as a coffin nail.
😂😂😂 back to where he was ?
Justin got hammers for fists. And Tony, what a brawler👏. Make you thought what the heck is Khabib made of.
This is probably one of the most wild UFC fights ive ever seen
This is still hard to watch, first time I've seen this angle and this shots sound even harder
Khabib :"he hit me like truck.."
What happened to the concept of hitting without being hit 🤔
They had a war, when that happens. They go all out attack, even if it means taking shots in the process.
For khabib to say of justin,"he hit like truck" u should know dis kid aint no joke
IF tony was prepared for this fight he would have killed Justin and always remember tony has fast striking but he is one punch man too...👹👹👹
He was prepared he was just completely outmatched
@@ACEROTHSTEIN2810 he wasn't prepared, he was prepared to fight Khabib but fought Justin on a short notice and that's really dumb on Tony's side
You can actually hear his face getting more tenderized towards the end of the fight. Damn... Respect to Tony for hanging in as long as he did
TONY WHY DID YOU AGREE TO THIS WHEN YOU WERE #1 CONTENDER 😭😭
you let Gaethje get away with robbery when he stole that spot
Cause Tony is a true fighter in the sense that anyman anytime any place. He wasn't going to wait for Khabib. Man wanted to fight and get paid.
Because Tony is the type of guy..
Tony had to fight Justin... no question about it. Justin didn't steal anything. He fucking earned it. Tony is not a smart human. He is a good fighter. But Tony is dumb as a stump.
Nice blocking the shots with his head
Tony is a savage 💯💯
Chicago773 orrrr He’s an idiot? All that training still doesn’t know how to keep his hands up 😂
This was such an awesome fight it looked like something out of a movie.
Tony fought Justin's fight, he should have have did his usual thing.
Broke my heart seeing tony show so much of his
Absolutely ruthless ...such a dangerous fighter was put to sleep by the injured khabib with ease. Khabib must retire for these kids to fulfill their dreams of holding the belt!
Because Justin is poor at wrestling. And khabib is a grappler
@@hakeemandbirdoverrated2142 Before ufc254: khabib wont be able to take justin down..justin got the wrestling game, NCAA Division 1 , lethal kicks, hard puncher..he is the only guy who can beat khabib.

One of my all time favorite fights of UFC history.
He should've never taken that fight after back to back weight cuts. Khabib knows that's his kriptonyte. Viva 🇲🇽.
All day bro
Gaethje is a really good striker nobody can handle him for 3 rounds, you need to have a really good ground game to overcome his striking, otherwise he'll gonna make you defenseless...
He better keep it standing with Khabib.
No because khabib knows that he will die against almost anyone in that division in a stand up fight

Tony will be my favorite even if he loses 10 more time in row(thats never gonna happen)
Damn
I just want 1% of Tony's willpower. Imagine being in one of the most brutal fights ever and not going down. Amazing job these 2 guys.
Tony "minced meat for brains" Ferguson. Should just retire with what's left of his brains and sanity.
The sound of them punches 🤛🤜👊♥️😎
Tony just stood there for most of the punch’s dude had poor head movement shit was sad
Tony takes a good punch.
@@spencerwilson5941 a lot of people can but at what cost
Exactly. The cost of your Brain 🧠
Once Trevor saw how Tony’s hands kept dropping after his jab Justin exposed it and the last 2 rounds were brutal
You have to take into consideration how fast Justin’s hands were flying at his face. Justin put all his weight and power and speed into some of those. If he didn’t land a few of those real big ones, he would’ve knocked himself down

Tony has already displayed signs of psychosis in the past. Its gonna end bad for him. He should retire.
Justins knuckles was never the same after this fight.
Reminds me of james toney vs evander holyfield, watching a younger guy pick apart the older one in calculated callous manner
I'm gonna actually miss the empty arena fights. Wish there an option to just hear the octagon mic'd up and mute the audience and commentators.
Ohhh shit that's a really Holy fighters
Some old school MMA where dudes just stand up and brawl it out.
Straight punching match I love it!!! Amazing from both sides. Wow
That’s what started Tony’s losing streak
Love how that arrogant smirk just faded away
It feels so different watching the fight like this rather than on stream
Eben khabib said that justin hits like a truck. Ferguson is a legend.
The sounds of those punches landing when there is no crowd is quite the eye opener.
Wow both fighter are wild...what a power and mean intentions from each blow

Dude in black shorts I respect him a lot he was hanging in there for minute
Tony ferguson is that type of guy to ask justin after fight 'i hope my face didnt broke your fist'
It was so hard to watch Tony take that punishment LIVE. But damn what a warrior
The chin on Ferguson.. What a savage.
The crowd absence made it all the more brutal. Tough to watch and hear.

Man, Tony is as tough as they come.
This fight legitimately caused Tony’s career to age 15 years. Went from a 14 fight win streak to not winning a fight since.
Those punches landed really hard..how is tony still able to stand after those punches..respect to tony and hats off to justin..
Gaethje was LOADING UP with all those shots. Jesus. Tony tough af
Dudes a champ for not going down but damn he took some hits.
Fight island with no crowd noise was amazing
When you see Tony backing away from a fight, you better believe you would have been dead by then.
Imagine this fight had a live audience
Wow! the violence isn’t the same as the tv show 😱 cool vid 👍
Definitely in my top 5 fights in the last 5 years.
I’m putting a ribeye on my own eyes just from watching this. 🤣
Never saw a man take that much punishment and not give up. Tony is a monster but good lord
