[@Zylothical]

Tony is an all-time great. One of the best warriors the world has ever seen. Shame how the later parts of his career played out.

[@youngmaestro4153]

Ok Tony

[@Drucipher6996]

Idk if Tony is being prescribed medication for what I will call his eccentricities because I for one don’t want to label him and I don’t know him on a personal level I’m not a doctor equipped to make any kind of medical diagnosis or assessment I only bring this up because I know that some medications prescribed for such eccentricities can diminish the exact qualities that make a fighter the fighter he is and Idk if anyone else can see it but I can see it looking into their eyes is almost foreign and unfamiliar where there was an intense ferocity like that of a predator’s gaze now resemble that of prey

[@shable1436]

​@@Drucipher6996that's very PC of you to say that, but we all know he has had episodes of psychosis, hallucinations, and as ppl who don't know him we can't diagnose him as schizophrenic or bi-polar, or he has a drug problem from something that gives him auditory and visual hallucinations, or even if its linked to brain trauma from fighting. We can just speculate.

[@fatthui2]

No matter what happens Tony will always be a Legend. Absolute animal!

[@seaniedub227]

As a fan I don’t need anymore Tony fights. I haven’t for a while. I just wish for peace and joy for him and his loved ones, whatever that looks like after his fighting career.

[@BoPunk]

Being terminally ill with cancer, my mental health fades. Daily. But I show up everyday. I do the work... and when I come home, I fight my demons and prepare. For the long sleep. My greatest advice for any of you, who are of sane body, but insane mind. Go out and destroy the world. Be the fucking animal you were meant to be. Do the things you want to do. Live every damn day like it was your last, because nothing in this world is promised... and you take whatever is presented to you. I love you all. I wish you all the best of luck. All of you. Take care...

[@privateProtection]

Thank you brother 🙏🏼 hope you feel better and see better days ahead. We won't let you down. I will try and leave a print in the world and be the savage and protector I was born to be 👊🏼 god bless you

[@purebloodheretic4682]

Bless you Brother! I hope you can defeat this illness & bounce back strong 💪 Some folks are claiming the animal treatment Fenbendazole & or Ivermectin have saved them from the disease Idk maybe it might be worth trying it's not expensive - & Thanks for your advice👍

[@MetalSolidCrisis]

It's not about the hand we were dealt but what we do with it and you're a fucking G for what you're doing with yours. Real shit dude, you've impacted me with this message. "Be the fucking animal you were meant to be" is gonna live rent-free in my head bro. Thank you dude, you're a real BOAT 🛶 #CSO

[@shable1436]

Hopefully you fight Cancer and it goes into remission, my dad lived 15 more years after he was diagnosed from Colon cancer, he did several courses of chemo, and his body looked terrible, but it stopped for awhile, I don't know you but pray for time my brother, God listens

[@yeahno6100]

​@shable1436 Yeah, but God just decided to give him cancer in the first place though, right?

[@MetalSolidCrisis]

How he fought on the same card as Khabib and Conor after he was stripped of the interim will always stick out to me. I know it was the money fight, but they were both ready to go that night, we were so close.

[@Ishbikes]

Hmmmm never thought of that 🤔

[@Wukilluh__]

Gonna make me cry 😔like many others he’s the reason I love the sport

[@joysulislamjony]

No matter what i will always support tony❤

[@VivaPR21]

I think Tony is looking for someone to put him outta his misery. I mean he’s not retiring and given his mental health problems this might be a subconscious drive to have someone delete him in the cage.

[@Bairom06]

He did say in the gathje fight post inteview, that he wished he got knocked out 😢

[@gregsgrazina2286]

People forget that tony had a nasty injury , he rushed it and for the beginning of it he wasn't 39 ,he didn't healed that leg properly and was visible when he came back with his moves , granit that endurence that Hunger was there and age wise also , he came back faced guys that are good but are not the top , pettis ,cowboy , when he got to the later stages , age ,injuries ,life...He sucked out also that endurance with a double weight cut basically, before Justin..When i saw him for the weigh ins agains Charles i saw and even said to some People, by what I see this guy mentality is intact but his body will never be the same i truly saw a broken guy by weight cuts,injuries age ..And i saw it at that weigh in ...Yoi guys should check you will see the same..

[@OBSGarage-q1r]

I will never forgive dana and the ufc for what they did to Tony. Im moving away from the sport. Bare knuckle is now my sport to watch. I only tune in when Tony fights

[@miggs80]

Tony’s wife actually said he was showing signs of Schizophrenia when he was on The Ultimate Fighter in her police report.

[@shable1436]

We don't know if he was on anything to induce psychosis though, that's the thing, we can't just assume anything

[@alexgonzalez8954]

Stressful man. I couldn’t take it. But he went and won

[@shable1436]

Tony's worst enemy is himself, IDK when it happened, but when you lose your self awareness, or perception of how others see you, is when it gets bad, because you think self belief out wills, and trumps everything else, that's when it gets very dangerous in combat sports. I think with his outrageous personality that he has a potential to be a social media star, or commentary, or anything, but i don't think Tony sees himself as anything else than some ancient warrior that doesn't grow old, they just die in battle.

[@HarryBellafontae]

I think taking on Justin fight is the biggest mistake of his life.

Hopefully Tony isn’t the next Chris Benoit but I have a bad feeling will be. His family should be careful.

[@gregsgrazina2286]

And I truly belive if he has loving People around him will say it.-Hey i know it's your passion i know is what you most want and gives you purpose in life , but you don't have anything to prove more , you were amazing a championship level and champion level competitor you're one of the greats ,but theres moments to evrything, dont be losing and taking damage , to go 1-7 and say see i still have it mistaken the passion for reality...Enjoy the rest of your life enjoy teaching martial arts ,be a father enjoy your family your life and opportunities come just take time to your health .

Tony Ferguson is a great man and fighter a little lost but still great

[@pancakes40051]

I dont care what the UFC, Dana White, fans, or anybody else has to say Tony is a true champion and always will be. Ill always remember him jumping up on the octogon after winning TUF pounding his chest, and yelling "MY TIME" chills.

[@johnyashes]

He got the prime punched out of him by Gaethje.

[@KieranKongus]

No I disagree, when he messed up one of his knees it put him out if his prime. In my opinion, I think he was out of his prime before he fought Justin because his movement took a decline. So, look up Joe rogan reacting to Tony decline in his movement. If you watch Tony slide you can see that his knee that he messed up when he triped over the wire. You can see that still has a effect on him. You have a good point though. I thought the same thing at first. But, man you watch that clip you can see he moves like shit with that leg. It’s definitely his knee look it up, its crazy.

[@johnyashes]

I think you are right. I forgot about the wire trip. @@KieranKongus

[@himalayantongue]

[@vankai6817]

Damn, it looks like Tony’s mental health really took a dive. Maybe he lost his mind after he got worried he wouldn’t be the same post surgery…

Tony got to 36 that what happened

[@stacywilliams6965]

Everyone who fights Justin Gaethje has there life shortened or career ruined. Look it up he's ended a bunch of people's careers after the beating he gives them. That tony fight was insane Justin's corner basically said you won't knock him out so pull your punches to not gas out. It was hard to watch the last round he's just beating Tony's face like meat

[@shable1436]

It's a race to see if Justin can be champion or become I'll with cte first

[@FistfulOfGabagool]

he beat everyone they put in front of him with like a 90% finish rate, what's there to understand? a 12 fight win streak and interim championship is not hype, he was the real deal.

[@RobertG-uu3xm]

His record was padded. Beat a bunch of over the hill fighters and then lost his first encounter with a genuine title contender in Justin gaetchje. Up to that point he was beating the likes of cerrone and Pettis who were barely top 10. I always thought he was overrated and it was only a matter of time. His toughness got him to where he was but ultimately the gaps in skill eventually caught up with him

[@theflamingoparty6680]

@@RobertG-uu3xm to me he always seemed like a guy who wasn't intelligent at all an most nhis wins seemed like he won from a loosih position also who the fuck throws fake sand at people and his interviews idk why no one ever pressed him on the bullshit he was saying

[@FistfulOfGabagool]

@@RobertG-uu3xm Tony beat Cerrone and Pettis AFTER he tore his knee, he was past his prime at that point. He's the same age as Cerrone and 3 years older than Pettis.. Gaethje beat an over the hill Tony after back to back weight cuts. You're just watching his horrible downfall and now wanna go back and discredit his whole career as if he was never that good to begin with. Bad take.

[@RobertG-uu3xm]

@@FistfulOfGabagool incorrect. As I mentioned, I had always thought he was overrated. His record is padded. Justin had his number, back to back weight cut or not. his striking is abysmal. His strategy is just walk forward and be as awkward as possible and eventually the opponent will wilt under the pressure. I was adamant that when the time came that he was faced with a proper striker he would get demolished and it happened with the gaethje fight. he’s tough as nails with incredible cardio and a decent ground game. As soon as he started to age he was found out as he didn’t have enough skill to fall back on.

[@Subzer0o0]

Pls dont do only ufc videos and go back to the old type of videos 😢

[@Francis.N]

I agreee

[@unknownentity8256]

Sounds like Tony has schizophrenia and someone who has family history with it, and some of my friends too, I can tell you that it's cruel and traumatizing to witness, and these people shouldn't be viewed as inherently bad or sick. Mental health disorders and conditions can spark in anyone's mind with genetics only playing a role in it's probability to manifest. So remember that it could happen to you as well, so treat these people like you would want to be treated, and be grateful if your mind is healthy. I hope he has got the help he needs, and that awareness towards mental health changes, in my humble opinion the greatest step towards eradicating mental health problems starts from eradicating the taboo around it that you can't talk about it openly like it's some bogeyman, and I think that is the essence that has let it spread like a virus, but there is many contributors to this.
