typical skeptic that’s the reason why they tricked him into fighting Justin, he was ripped out of a title shot . If he trained for Justin things would of been different
Ariel gave Tony lots of chances to make an excuse and he didn’t once , everytime responded with “ Gaethje was the better man “ just oozes class , real fans will always love Tony ! 🏆
Noaaah maybe you’re reading to far into it ? He said many times he believed Gaethje was the Better man . Maybe he was being honest and it has given him the hunger back of climbing to the top? I don’t believe they were excuses I thought he was really humble during this .
“You can count the wins, I count the losses..I’m not worried about the wins..I lose track at how many fights I even have..I kno how many losses I have.” - El Cucuy 💯
JRT Basically Tony is saying the wins are cool and all but the losses are the ones that stick out to him the most..the losses are what make him a better fighter because he’s able to see the mistakes he made and correct them..he also said he doesn’t like having his head all up in the clouds after so many wins, he likes to keep a level head and be humble about it. He starts talking about all this from 14:30 - 15:08
Not being funny but this man should not be talking about " adjusting on the fly " after he performed with Gaethje the way he did - And I say this only because of the interview with Ariel helwani
Is it just me, or does Tony sound like a whole different person?? He sounds so clear, like he doesn’t sound crazy.. he sounds like he’s really been reflecting on himself since the loss.
He’s had a few interviews like this. it’s really weird to me, at his worst he sounds like a total lunatic douchebag lmao. but when he speaks like this it’s so hard not to respect him.
Compared to his latest press conference with Khabib, he sounds so much more polite and articulate. Sometimes it takes a loss for you to be more polite or less arrogant r
Can we take a moment to appreciate Ariels interviewing skills and patience? He very kindly and strategically allowed Tony to pour his heart out to us. No interruptions!
@RedRagLoko I believe Tony lost due to his 2 weight cuts in 30 days and he trained for Khabib. He didn't have to take the Gaethje fight but he did for his fans. I believe in a Rematch tony could win.
Tony sounds a little different here than usual. Almost like he's more at peace with things, kinda like Till did after his 2 losses. God Bless El Cucuy, glad he seems to be doing well.
He sounds hungry, he was always pretty humble but aware of his skills and his accomplishments, he just sounds less stressed and overwhelmed, he’s at a fresh start uk
because Jose won against Moraes everybody knows that Yoel had i good fight against Costa and Costa himself wasn't ready to fight and Cruz was the best bantamweight off all time. But Tony he got absolutely destroyed in his last fight so that is why he should not be fighting for the title next. And it will be Khabib his last fight so i would like to see him fight GSP over Tony anyway.
You all forget he was training for a grappler in his last fight , or things would of been different . He doesn’t need to come back stronger he’s tough enough.
Swear listening to this I was thinking the same😂! He still goes on rants that are nothing to do with the question but they do sound like slightly clearer rants😂
@@elksplosive2214 Lol that's hilarious! They may feed Dan Hooker, or Felder or one of those other top 7 guys and then Tony will be back to title contention, so be quiet.
I cried when Tony lost years and years of waiting for Khabib vs Tony just to be taken away forever love you Tony and will always be emotionally invested in this beautiful SPORT !!
Tony: I don't like to hurt people Fights Pettis: Laughs and taunts him with his elbows before the start of the round after slicing him open from 10 different angles
It’s different when you’re actually in a fight, and anyone who’s ever been in any, knows he means. Prior to fighting, you don’t want to hurt anyone but when you’re in a fight, you’re trying to destroy the other person. It’s just what it is.
Good to hear from Tony especially at this time. He’s such a class act, Ariel laid out what most people would have seen as 3/4 genuine excuses for the loss and Tony just shut them all down. Nothing to do with the weight cut, nor the opponent change, nor the lack of crowd; “Justin was better that night...”.What a professional.
PewDiePie nani? Well life doesn’t work that way and nothing or nobody lasts forever so you just have to appreciate people while they’re around. No day or second is promised.
@@ellissmith1857 not likely Dustin doesnt pack the power to finish Tony like Gaethje like he couldnt even finish Hooker and all Tony needs to do is change up his strategy a bit and bring in the ground game and Tony can 100% submit Dustin
Fight of the year in my opinion was that asian girl vs Joanna. I can’t spell either of their names. That one before Israel and Romero bored everyone to sleep.
For me fight of the year so far is between Josh Emmett vs Shane Burgos, Dustin Poirier vs Dan Hooker, Joanna vs Weili Zhang. Among a few other others I don't remember.
Wen Tony started dancing and shaking his head after that last few punches I was realy worried he is taken damage. Luv to hear your well and healthy. El Cucuy the legend continues
The real reason why he shook his head was because the blood came to his eye and he wanted to get rid of it. He was still much more in the fight than a lot of casuals think.
You haven't seen his other interviews. He's definitely my favourite MMA fighter of all time but i worry, the guys getting on with age and the head trauma might be a lot. Like his wife once filed a restraining order on him because he ws trying to find "the people in the walls".
For real man, some of us are close to living on the street. This quarantine got people out of work and not making money. Unemployment checks ain't cutting it.
I'd like to see him fighting against Poirier. If Tony wins that fight in fashion it means that he did the adjusment on the fly. i hope that fight to be the same day of Khabib vs Gaetje
I legit hope Justin tests positive for COVID and Tony steps in just like Jorge did for Burns against Usman. Then Justin faces the winner in 2021 after he recovers
Tony has absolutely everything to be proud of!! He's not only competed in one of the hardest and most competitive divisions in one of the toughest sports in the world but he's also been phenomenal. A loss in MMA is not a bad thing, specially when you consider Tony's resume. He can be incredibly proud of that 💯 🙏🏼
this was one of the best interviews Ariel has had, this is by far my favorite tony interview. man sounds healthy and very determined. so excited to see where he goes from here!
Connor McGregor fought 2 times in light weight division both fights for title . And Tony who has been fighting in light weight for over 7 years haven't gotten any title shot. Talk about hypocrisy
Ariel fix Tony’s stats. It’s not “former interm lightweight champion” its “undisputed lightweight champion” cause he deserves it after everyone avoided him for years.
Proto Man 2020 you’d be insane to think khabib avoided him , khabib fought opponents who were more dangerous than tony , the only reason tony vs khabib was interesting was because of tony’s ability to strike while on his back , that’s it , don’t fool yourself
Proto Man 2020 he’s fighting justin not tony because justin just smashed tony and is the interm champ, so he has to fight justin , such a stupid thing to say
@@solomonnie6108 most likely an act but I bet he's still a rather eccentric dude, my guess is he just removed his filter to entertain himself and UFC fans amidst all the drama and media-related stuff. He sounds very focused and heatlhy now though, which to me is good news.
Suri yeah I’m shocked how he didn’t get knocked out tbh cutting weight twice in 30 days especially how much weight he loses , Tony’s just different but if you don’t think the weight cuts affected him then idk WhT to say
@@justagoose7741 Khabib always wanted GSP and it was Khabibs Fathers dream fight and GSP is down for only Khabib fight so...we'll see.. Tony shouldve waited especially after cutting weight twice like a dope
@@Leg3ndKilla687 Yeah I know, but that fight has no real stakes and little meaning over the sport. What happens if one of them wins or loses? If GSP wins it's "oh he's still got it... but he still won't fight ever again" and it's basically Khabib vacating the title with extra steps. If Khabib wins, it's "Khabib beat an out-of-prime retired GSP so they're both still goated." If they don't fight, the sport stays the same, if they do, it stays the same. Now if you look at Tony vs Khabib (assuming Khabib beats Gaethje), it's a rivalry between two opposites, two opponents that paralleled each other, both with 12-fight win streaks completely dominating the division. The fight has been booked 5 times before and not worked for a million reasons. Stylistically it's very interesting as well becaude even though Khabib's striking is underrated, he's never faced an opponent as dynamic, unorthodox and creative as Tony on the feet, no one with such a good cardio, aaand Tony is also strong when taken down (he'll never submit Khabib but Tony's the type of guy that pounds you while he's in the ground, plus the subs are still a threat). On the other hand you have one of the best grapplers/wrestler in mma history who's completely dominated his whole career, with good cardio and very physically strong. Imo it's a much more interesting fight both in terms of style and relevance to the sport. So what's at stake in this fight? If Khabib wins he cements his legacy as someone who could dominate any kind of fighter and goes 30-0, if Tony wins he finally becomes champion (after being unfairly stripped of the interim belt and being unable to get the title shot multiple times) and defeats the most dominant fighter of the division, both make history. Of course it's not nearly as exciting or "poetic" as it would've been in UFC 249... buuut Tony's loss against a striker doesn't mean he's not Khabib's greatest threat if he defeats Gaethje. Anyway sorry for writing a novel here but that's why I'm not a huge fan of GSP being his last fight. TL;DR: GSP has nothing to prove, if Khabib beats him he doesnt prove that much, Tony has a loot to prove, if Khabib beats him he cementd himself as (a) GOAT.
Khabib wants GSP because thats was his fathers wish. i think he talked to Dana and Dana will make it happen. Who knows khabib may retire after that one.
Jeff Hyppolite you ever heard of banter 💀 lmao there’s like a bunch of tony Ferguson jokes in the comments chill out everyone is into tony Ferguson banter

The Ferguson fight shouldnt be mentioned in the same sentence as that terrible fight. Those guys put on a show. Masvidal just got run over.
All fun and games but I rather be Usman as Tony right now..
Ferguson vs Poireir!!!!!
There are some fighters that will *ALWAYS* be loved by the fans. El Cucuy is one of them.
Straight up
I agree I still think hes the only guy that has the style to beat khabib. We may never see it. That saddens me
Nope...some rats dropped him like a bad habit as soon as he lost. A lot of fans are rats
Michael Rahman which is ridiculous considering how he doesn’t have the negative drama surrounding him and is just a straight up warrior

@Noaaah I noticed the subtle excuses too lol

“You can count the wins, I count the losses..I’m not worried about the wins..I lose track at how many fights I even have..I kno how many losses I have.” - El Cucuy 💯
JRT I had no trouble understanding it. It’s pretty straight forward.

He should put all of his focus into mastering Eddie Bravo’s Imanari Roll!
And throwing sand
Jada Shelby haha, yah
@@YourPoint1981 hahah can you imagine that he really puts sand in his pocket , and throws it and gets DQ hahahaha
You mean imanari's imanari roll
1990sodapop no I mean Eddie Bravo’s Imanari roll, which is where and injured fighter rolls about 10 feet away from his opponent.
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to climb all the way back to the top.
Edit: click "view replies" if you'd like to see some madkid douchebags.
Jay R. Shut up , the meme is over
Lol Lol 😂
Tony got bullied
Climb all the way back? he is #3
your a casual
W Baldwin idiot
Tony is a pretty well-spoken dude, I like him.
You haven't seen his other interviews. He's definitely my favourite MMA fighter of all time but i worry, the guys getting on with age and the head trauma might be a lot. Like his wife once filed a restraining order on him because he ws trying to find "the people in the walls".
@@demilich867 yeah all fighters struggle. I did some hard sparring years back and I still feel the affects..
@Oo oO Tony has nice lips
Tony Ferguson- what’s up how is everyone doing ?
Ariel - everybody is doing great
Me- speak for yourself Ariel I’m living on the streets
Loool
😂😂😂😂😂
For real man, some of us are close to living on the street. This quarantine got people out of work and not making money. Unemployment checks ain't cutting it.
The level of Tony energy is unbelivable
How can you not love Tony, the man's a true artist in and out
wow tony is cool, he’ s talking without even moving his mouth.
He would make a good vantriliquist
Skills
No matter what people say, tony is still the man. Helped me trough a lot of tough times. Thank you champ!!!
Good to hear him sounding healthy.
He almost admitted that unnecessary 2nd weight cut was really detrimental.
Bob Houghton it was tough for sure but he’s also 36 years old at some point it catches up to you
@@davidferrer678 Yeah. All the more reason not to push it twice so close together
I remember some MMA commentators saying what a boss move it was, I thought it was nuts.
*Takes 147 significant strikes from an elite striker*
Yeah I've taken a Couple of Hits
@Ace A If anything those punches healed Tony's brain and body
Damage for a big bag of cash. The hurt biz.
@Ace A Trinaldo might not be at the top but still competing and winning at 40+ at LW.
Ace A
Idk man, some people are a different breed and can take almost anything and recover
Tony's the type of guy who lost a fight and love mma even more.
He gonna come back way more dangerous
Tony is still the man. No doubt this man comes back strong. He sounds great
Nah, Tony deserve the winner on Oct 24. not a fight before. You trippin’ espn!
Hopefully
Did it for Edgar they can do it for Ferguson
I'd like to see him fighting against Poirier. If Tony wins that fight in fashion it means that he did the adjusment on the fly. i hope that fight to be the same day of Khabib vs Gaetje
I legit hope Justin tests positive for COVID and Tony steps in just like Jorge did for Burns against Usman. Then Justin faces the winner in 2021 after he recovers
@Oo oO Connor doesn't want to fight against Tony. Because i 'd like watch his matchup against Poirier who beat Gaetje.
18:26 Helwani's life flashed before his eyes.
Props for Tony, staying so still during the interview
that's the joke brother
Zachary Hoy it was so clearly a joke bro calm down lol
Zachary Hoy, jokes on you it was tony standing still
Zach got in his feels today. Go hit a bag and blow some steam.
😂😂
Tony has absolutely everything to be proud of!! He's not only competed in one of the hardest and most competitive divisions in one of the toughest sports in the world but he's also been phenomenal. A loss in MMA is not a bad thing, specially when you consider Tony's resume. He can be incredibly proud of that 💯 🙏🏼
Participation trophy loser
@@stallschula5431 u battered him
“ I wasn’t happy with that fight, I enjoyed getting hit but I wasn’t happy” lol who says such a thing other than the great Elcucuy.
this was one of the best interviews Ariel has had, this is by far my favorite tony interview. man sounds healthy and very determined. so excited to see where he goes from here!
This is a very calm Tony, a very relaxed Tony Ferguson. Sounds very clear, very motivated. This might be the scariest Cucuy we've seen yet. I love it.
Most clarity I've heard Tony speak with. Love the guy!
Connor McGregor fought 2 times in light weight division both fights for title .
And Tony who has been fighting in light weight for over 7 years haven't gotten any title shot.
Talk about hypocrisy
Stop it. We all know the reasons why he hasn't fought for the belt, and it mostly has nothing to do with the UFC.
You are dellusional
Conor was already a champion of another division. Stop it.
Totally agree. Thats the same point khabib made about conor.
@@allenmk138 it has to do with the UFC and mcgregor
Tony: I dont like to hurt people
Cue the picture of 9 of his opponents faces post fight b4 he fought Gaethje
@Cjc 206 stfu
Cjc 206 stfu
@Cjc 206 Stfu !
I'm a huge tony fan but he literally has talked about how he likes punishing his opponents lol
@Ben W-N
Stfu😄
I strive to have even half of Tony's perseverance, heart, and grit.. His outlook on life and especially defeat is admirable
For the first time he actually sounds happy
And well-spoken
- Hey Tony, What's sup?
- Yea you know Im an athlete man, I can adjust on the fly, you feel me.
He adjusts... except when Justin was punching in his face. Grappling was still there.
Ariel: Hey To-
Tony: I'm still great guys. really. Did i mention how great i was?
Ariel fix Tony’s stats. It’s not “former interm lightweight champion” its “undisputed lightweight champion” cause he deserves it after everyone avoided him for years.
.....umm... He just lost.....
Proto Man 2020 you’d be insane to think khabib avoided him , khabib fought opponents who were more dangerous than tony , the only reason tony vs khabib was interesting was because of tony’s ability to strike while on his back , that’s it , don’t fool yourself
Proto Man 2020 i do believe that “homie” , you talk pure nonsense
Proto Man 2020 he’s fighting justin not tony because justin just smashed tony and is the interm champ, so he has to fight justin , such a stupid thing to say
Harun Lari K
Brilliant interview- even more respect for Tony “Billy Badass” Ferguson
Ufc screwing him, yet as always Ariel thinking about fighters.
Tony spoke for all the time I've actually missed him😂 I'm content now.
Tony sounds so normal in this interview
I assume it was all an act in media...they do need to sell tickets by putting up a persona lol
Yeah man big time
yeah he really has 2 different sides. Vintage Tony Ferguson and Somewhat Normal Tony Ferguson.
@@solomonnie6108 most likely an act but I bet he's still a rather eccentric dude, my guess is he just removed his filter to entertain himself and UFC fans amidst all the drama and media-related stuff. He sounds very focused and heatlhy now though, which to me is good news.
"I enjoy getting hit" - Boogie Man
I mean seriously the way he ate those heavy shots real human would've died
Yeah he usually doesn’t get hit that much but you can tell the 2 weight cuts got to him
Suri yeah I’m shocked how he didn’t get knocked out tbh cutting weight twice in 30 days especially how much weight he loses , Tony’s just different but if you don’t think the weight cuts affected him then idk WhT to say
This is a great interview from Tony. Inspiring to hear someone be so positive after a tough loss.
Imagine if Khabib beats Gaethje and for his final opponent he picks Tony 😩
Apparently Khabib wants GSP :( but hopefully Tony vs Khabib happens instead, it just hast to happen...
@@justagoose7741 no gsp
@@justagoose7741 Khabib always wanted GSP and it was Khabibs Fathers dream fight and GSP is down for only Khabib fight so...we'll see.. Tony shouldve waited especially after cutting weight twice like a dope
@@Leg3ndKilla687 Yeah I know, but that fight has no real stakes and little meaning over the sport. What happens if one of them wins or loses? If GSP wins it's "oh he's still got it... but he still won't fight ever again" and it's basically Khabib vacating the title with extra steps. If Khabib wins, it's "Khabib beat an out-of-prime retired GSP so they're both still goated." If they don't fight, the sport stays the same, if they do, it stays the same. Now if you look at Tony vs Khabib (assuming Khabib beats Gaethje), it's a rivalry between two opposites, two opponents that paralleled each other, both with 12-fight win streaks completely dominating the division. The fight has been booked 5 times before and not worked for a million reasons. Stylistically it's very interesting as well becaude even though Khabib's striking is underrated, he's never faced an opponent as dynamic, unorthodox and creative as Tony on the feet, no one with such a good cardio, aaand Tony is also strong when taken down (he'll never submit Khabib but Tony's the type of guy that pounds you while he's in the ground, plus the subs are still a threat). On the other hand you have one of the best grapplers/wrestler in mma history who's completely dominated his whole career, with good cardio and very physically strong. Imo it's a much more interesting fight both in terms of style and relevance to the sport. So what's at stake in this fight? If Khabib wins he cements his legacy as someone who could dominate any kind of fighter and goes 30-0, if Tony wins he finally becomes champion (after being unfairly stripped of the interim belt and being unable to get the title shot multiple times) and defeats the most dominant fighter of the division, both make history. Of course it's not nearly as exciting or "poetic" as it would've been in UFC 249... buuut Tony's loss against a striker doesn't mean he's not Khabib's greatest threat if he defeats Gaethje. Anyway sorry for writing a novel here but that's why I'm not a huge fan of GSP being his last fight.
TL;DR: GSP has nothing to prove, if Khabib beats him he doesnt prove that much, Tony has a loot to prove, if Khabib beats him he cementd himself as (a) GOAT.
Khabib wants GSP because thats was his fathers wish. i think he talked to Dana and Dana will make it happen. Who knows khabib may retire after that one.
At the end of the day tony really didn’t lose he just added some drama to his legacy so when he gets the belt it’s that much more crazy
Dumbest thing I ever heard. He LOSSED that's a fact! What you said is just your Opinion
Jeff Hyppolite you ever heard of banter 💀 lmao there’s like a bunch of tony Ferguson jokes in the comments chill out everyone is into tony Ferguson banter
@@jeffhyppolite7060 he didnt lose anything. He won in the end
Jeff Hyppolite lost * 😘
@@jeffhyppolite7060 have more fun. Just in general
Comeback story coming
I think his brain is get back to normal after those punches he recieved from Justin Gaethje... He sounds normal and humbled tbh
lol. casual.
@@thundabird He did sound more humble then normal tho.. He usually isn't as humble..
@@Jayzan-mt4gl all he did was give Justin props up until the fight and after. All these dickheads say people are humbled after losses when they were respectful the whole lead up 😂
@@gged664 ik bruh these people are idiots
Hopefully he is ok now love to hear him back
He sounds great, sounds like he got to take a step back and reflect on his profession and make a huge positive change
@W Baldwin ur chin fades after taking so many shots
@W Baldwin we never know Robert Whittaker chin was damaged going in to the fight with izzy after 10 rnds with Yoel Romero
Tony will always be one of the greats
Good to hear Tony laughing and in good spirits
