Predictions: 1 of 8 Winners, 0 Perfect, 65 Points   |   Tied for 3501st

Clearly he has no equal only guy seemed close got his head exploded.
Gotta wait se rewind tomorrow but hilights of tony/justin were impressive for justin.
Also for tony mostly his toughness but he hurt justin too.
I do disagree about skabib he will wilt and cry like ***** wish he took rematch with conmac.
Also about poireir his chin wont last against either great boxer he would have to be perfect.

i would be very surprised if tony is ever the same after the beating he took. he is too damn tough for his own good. he suffered a severe concussion at the very least and possibly worse. he needs to take at least a year off but prolly wont and will come back looking like whitaker did after the yoel fights or weidman after the beatdown herb let him take at the hands of rockhold. he will never be the same

and **** conor macgregor. im tired of people talking like hes actually a contender in the light weight division.

Hard to say. He seemed quite with it during his octagon interview whereas knuckles looked and sounded like it was all going on in another room in another century.

He definitely needs a huge break though. Hopefully he gets mandated 6 months no contact though he would benefit from double that.

Ferguson lost because Gaethje beat the **** outta him!!!!  If it was the weight cut why was he still so durable and didn't get tired, you know the 2 biggest signs of a bad weight cut???

Also, why you getting all racist?  Jeez,  did a Dagestani hurt you??? Hahaha

First thing out of fergs mouth in the interview was saying the extra weight cut didn't matter. So clearly it mattered

Nah, not the weight cut, he just couldn't do what he needed to do without paying too much. Gaethje isn't Pettis or Lando, he's nasty as ****; very classy hands with mean power and excellent in the pocket which is rare for MMA fighters.

**** Kebab because he's Muslim. That is all.

@mikey you'd have a point except Ferg didn't seem like himself from the start even before he got hit.
Even dana white said it at the post fight press

If they rematched it would be a totally different fight.

And to think an extra weight cut didn't effect him is just silly. Of course it effected him.

Dana is just dirty because he knows Ferguson was much more likely to beat Khabib than Gaethje which makes it far more difficult to put Mcgillity back on the throne. That's basically the UFC's entire business plan.

Didn't seem himself???  What was the difference?  I didn't see it myself.  Also, using anything Dana White says to back up your argument!!!???
Tony nearly finished Gaethje with that uppercut and if he did not 1 person would saya thing about Tony not looking right.  2 guys fought, 1 guy won, that's all

it wouldnt surprise me at all to see dana start talking about a rematch between tony and justin and in the same breath say that khabib and conor is the fight to make.
