No matter what happens Saturday. Tony is a certified UFC legend
washed journeyman on a 6th losing streak’
ufc punching bag💀
@@beauaIoevv bros liking his comments 😂
Not really, never was a champion
@@iitzant338Those like are from his mom 😂😂😂
It’s beginning to feel a lot like the last fight on all levels. If so, thanks for all the years El Cucuy, we appreciate you!
I’m not a paddy fan but would be neat if he beat Tony into a coma. Then Tony comes out of in 6 months and is essentially a retarded infant.
six straight it's his last ..
hold on i'm talking, 5'8. @@oldironsides4107
Yeah the exact same thing. I talked to Brock, I stopped being stepping stone for others, everyone is copying me, I saved UFC during covid, Khabib is scared of me.., I lost fights to lure in Khabib, He is playing the same thing on repeat. It would be disgraceful if Barbie pimblet wins over Elcucuy
Mad respect Tony! True legend!!
We all rooting for Tony to win man 😢
I'm rooting for him to retire, and save whatever sanity he has left
Tony won’t retire he has a dozen more fights in him.
Nah i want Paddy to win 💯 and hope Tony retires after this fight
Nah, paddy for the win
@@Max-kh9doyou are the real fan
I hope Tony gets the win Saturday . This dude has put everything he has into the ufc . True legend
Khabib Can't beat Tibau
Yeah let's hope he wins Saturday. He deserves to bow down, on a high. 👍
ONE MORE TIME TONY ONE MORE TIME!
I Need This.
one more him getting ko’d stiff
@@beaualoevwyea thank you i cant wait.
@@beaualoevwnga u fine ?🤣🤣 tony beatin tf out of you
Bro sttt up its not how stuff works
Tony answering questions that are never asked is just insane
One of the few fighters that stayed true to themselves and garnered respect from fans and fellow fighters
Hold on, I’m crying brother
Only babies cry.
Listen to Taylor Swift.
@@boztos6025lol coming from a guy with a stormtrooper profile pic
Give me some sand one last time tony
journeyman tony is so washed. dana should be arrested for letting this glass chin merchant fight on a 6th lose streak. he won the lottery when khabib fight didn’t happen, he would’ve retired on the spot
@@beauaIoevvwouldn't be talking with that profile pic
@@PeterPiper777you’re 300Ibs, talking💀
@@beauaIoevv HAHAH bro looks like a B tier boyband drummer
@@beaualoevw you do not leave the keyboard. everyone can see it. we all see it.
All the respect and support to Tony really rooting for you Saturday!
UFC에서 여태까지 누군가가 꼭 이기길 이토록 간절히 바란적이 없다. 제발 전성기의 토니를 다시 한번만 보여줘
Nothing but love for Tony, always. Huge respect to the legend, the true spirit of stoicism and martial arts. Let's go champ always in your corner since day 1 of watching you.
One of the tuffest athletes in any sport ever harder than a coffin nail t ferg was N still is
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to give his corner advice between rounds
never read this before, so original so hilarious. i think you should win the nobel prize and a oscar for this joke only. i’m still laughing out loud, i can’t breathe
@@beauaIoevv your response was even cringier
@@beauaIoevvbro wrote a book just to hate, probably a covington fan or something
@@TheSeveredTongues disagree
@tylerbrownwood9635 dropout thinks a few sentences is a book....or something
There is a last one in you El cucuy. Go for it, we are all rooting for you
We already know Tony will call for a title shot with a win.
@@alpe6228 He deserves
Shed blood on him Tony! Get that finish Legend! 🥊🥊🥊
That fight between Fergeson and Barboza!!!! Wow!!! He had sooo many wars!!!
tony with goggins in the corner i can die
Tony is the type of guy to throw his last 6 fight so he can face Paddy to derail the hype. Let’s go Tony!!!
😂❤
Yes! He's going to tear Paddy apart Saturday. I've bet half a $Mil on it! 😎👍
Lol
@@somerandomname9252Tony sucks
props to Okamoto, dude is one of the best interviewers I've ever seen. He adjusts his demeanor to whoever he is interviewing, and he lets them talk, even if they go on for 3 minutes on one question. Dude is a class-act
Manifesting a ferguson win
You sound like a 42 year old divorced woman. But yeah man, Tony's gotta win 👍🏻
Tony Ferguson interviews and press conferences are amongst the best videos on KZhead. We can all learn from Tony. Thank you Tony.
"Hold up brother", thank you Tony, for everything.
Now we need a “Tony Ferguson’s MMA career reflects on Tony Ferguson” video
Lets go Tony ❤
The way he describs the process of navigating through his low moments is so inspiring. The proud fighter inside him couldn't dare admit that something was wrong, but the winner eventually prevailed, making him go through the step of seeking help. Thank you for such great insight on life!
Tony is the best "almost"that the UFC has ever had. Thats what make him a legend. The best that never did it.
Tony is one of the most entertaining and unique characters in the history of combat sports.
Great interview, always rooting for Tony, let's get this done, sir! 🙏🏻
6:27 he actually said he plays chess with himself. WTF!! Tony Ferguson jokes keep writing themselves 😂😂
Future hall of famer
19:19 "I'm going to turn his head red" Get em' Tony !!
He is The mozart of the fight game... Truly eccentric and gifted.... But I don't know if the story ends well😢😢😢
Tony is like the football team I root for their on a losing streak but I still support every time they play or in this case fight
It's actually really sad the effect the Khabib fight had on Tony. What a shame the fight could never happen.
Khabib owed Tony that fight.
Should have been Tony vs Khabib at 229 and Conor vs Pettis in msg at 230
Yeah, Khabib is living in tonys head nonstop. Look at the answer tony gives @ 18:20 lol I don't think tony can go one interview without talking Khabib.
@@Max-kh9dohe literally brought him up like 4 minutes into the interview 😂
To be REAL ... Khabib would have beat Tony for sure. . Tony couldn't even beat Justin who Khabib beat so easily. . Not to mention the other 6 guys Tony lost to
I hope Tony gets the W
No way
@@blacksabbath4252yes way
He might win the record of consecutive losses. 😆
Tony is fluent in the language of CTE.
Tony you are the most amazing person I’ve ever seen I hope you will get the job done it doesn’t matter if you lose I m always rooting towards you champ 💯💪
....Tony Ferguson legenda. Poštovanje se ne može kupiti novcem.....ma ko šta mislio. Za steći poštovanje.....potrebno je vrijeme.....ukratko. ako je Tony sef osiguranja UFC a. Onda bi ja volio biti zamjenik sefa osiguranja. Volio bi da je pobjedio ...ali nije.....nema veze. Njegov protivnik....je jedan od onih tipova zbog kojih se ja ne volim tući....jer.....ja se ne volim tući. Nakautiraš nekog i onda mu kao guzicom sjedaš na glavu. Svi znamo da je ponekad dovoljan jedan udarac. I onda pokazati nepoštovanje..... Treba se izdići od toga.
Some people here throw up and see weakness in their head I see that you released your demons Tony you go out there and you release those on Patty as well Good luck my brother America strong
I feel like I’m on mushrooms when I listen to a Tony Ferguson interview
Yo it’s crazy they are letting Brett be around fighters face to face with them while he is clearly sick he is jeopardizing the fighters Performance by being reckless like this 🤦♂️
Is Brett really sick?
@@YourHeartIsTheKeyhe caught the lgbt
They literally interact w all ufc staff and random fans throughout fight week imagine your fantasy in reality is impossible😂
WE LOVE YOU TONY. WE RESPECT YOU. THANK YOU FOR TRULY GIVING US THE FANS THE BEST SHOWS NO MATTER THE COST. LEGEND! GET THE DUB AND HIT THE SUNSET JACK!!! WE ALL BEHIND YOU AS ALWAYS CHAMP!
Man I am going to miss these pre fight interviews with Tony whenever he hangs up the gloves. You’ve probably heard this idiom countless times, but Tony truly marches to the beat of his own drummer.
God protect this man… Amen
He has not been protected
Personally if some God did actually exist I would hope he would stop school shootings and wars but that hasn't happened so I wouldn't hold your breath.
All legends shine at least once more. Tony time once more! Whooooo!
Wow, hearing Tony say he doesn't want to make it hard for himself anymore was great. Glad you're doing better, Tony!
It’s so proud of himself that he “knows” David Goggins and tells everyone he’s so cool he calls him “Chief.” Haha
I’m a big fan of Tony! His style and relentless attack is impressive!! Hurts to see him lose some of these fights. I’m rooting for Tony to come out with a win long over due!! LETS GO TONY! Get it done!!
10:03 I love the way he say it its so emotional 9😖
Respect to the legend Tony Ferguson. ❤
A spinning Hell bow from Tony paddy's night will end early it will take a sorcerer to stitch him
I think its fair to say, we ❤ you tony ferguson, a true warrior and a real one of a kind. Lets go El Cucey 💪
OKAMOTO IS TRYING TO SABOTAGE TONY BY GETTING HIM SICK WITH HIS COLD. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE SHOWED UP FOR THIS INTERVIEW BRETT.
Bravo Tony! Profound truth here. Living in a vizualization long enough will eventually make it reality. You are the walking proof.
Your still one of the greatest such an awesome individual. Always 💯 muncho muncho love
Mad love and respect for Tony.
Tony’s the type of guy to pause a KZhead video and say “hold on, I’m talking brother”.
Tony should make a thankful video. He had a long career and should be thankful for everything in his path of life.
Tony the type of guy who becomes the CEO of the company when he retires.
Fony getting retired , rogan and anick will be devastated after this fight
Tony❤
Can we get an unedited version?
If only Dana gave this dude his title shot after beating Barbosa, or RDA
journeyman tony is so washed. dana should be arrested for letting this glass chin merchant fight on a 6th lose streak. he won the lottery when khabib fight didn’t happen, he would’ve retired on the spot
Copy and paste? @@beauaIoevv
@@beauaIoevvyea Tony shouldn't be fighting if Paddy puts him out wow Tony needs help hes a head case lives in another world in his brain thinks he could beat khabib dude would flatten Tony in 2 seconds retire this man Dana
Tony will always be a legend 🇺🇸💪👍
What a man! A hero.
Respect champ shit only
Prime Tony one Last Time!!!
Amen!
17:44 this part here 😳🫡
Win or lose love you the same Tony … if you retire I’d definitely be happy regardless buddy 💯💯💯
LEGEND!!!!
Waiting for the ufc296
All the best Tony👍
No matter what happens brother, I wanna see a genuine “Tony Ferguson fighting demons covered in blood SMILE” sometime during the fight🍻
This is MY Matt. NOT yours💪
Always will be a fan ,, how easily people forget the great performances he put on in his career,,,the party has just begun,,,,
What I call is washed up. Go fight Tony Ferguson on the streets. You never call him washed up. He's been a great asset to the company
It’s Tony time
To retire
Like the last fights....
Dude had a hell of a stretch and deserved to fight for more than the intern belt twice.
*interim
Let's go Tony!
Man idc what no one says prime Tony was gonna beat khabib man
Tony is the man.
Tony show us everything you got and retire! You are our people's champ!🎉
Cmon Tony one more time. CHAMP SHIT !
If that "Hell Week" training doesn't work to make him champ what style is best?
Tony wins this!!!!! I'm willing this into reality!!!!!!
Tony time!
Tony Ferguson will forever be the goddamn man
I'll always root for Tony
What does he say at 18:40 and the following sentence???
The madness have a name Tony Ferguson
Tony Is the kind of guy think his career Is now beggining
I wanna see Tony’s icon D’arce submission one last time.
Making the weight hurt you bad that time my guy! I wanna see you win and set off into the sunset
El Cucuy’s Last Stand! LFG TONY!
All these ups and downs thank God there’s no left or rights is such a Tony thing to say
God I hope this guy gets it done.
Come on tony
C'Mon Tony!!! We Gotta Get A W 😎 C$O
All the hay is stacked in the barn my man! Lets goooooo! Ko this lad. 🙏
How does Brett Okamoto have a conversation with Tony without laughing? Tony Ferguson is clinically insane, he should go to the cage with straight jacket, and it'll be appropriate actually
