Tony Ferguson is turning 38 this year so he's way over his prime. Most top 10 fighters that still perform well at that age would be in LHW or HW, e.g. Jan Błachowicz and Stipe Miocic who are both 38 years old. No LW would be good at that age because the speed and technical skills required to be a champion in MW or lower is much higher than LHW and HW. Tony is outstrike by Justin Gaethje and outgrapple by Charles Oliveira which it means he's not as fast or less technical than these two fighters. If Tony stays fighting, he would become a gatekeeper like Cowboy Cerrone.

"I just need to fight 2-3 more times and then 2022 I'm gonna be champion" So true man, only things that have prevented him from being champion sooner were injuries and khabib. It shows you how close his bond and friendship is with his team for him to have waited so long for his time when in his mind, he knew he could've been champion sooner. Loyalty and respect. Pure class, can't wait to see him rule this division for the next couple years.

Dude just subbed Drew Dober with a cross body arm triangle. Insane pressure. Like a black belt rolling with a white belt. I see no one in this division that's going to stop this dude. Maybe Olivera? Big maybe?

[@AmirAli-hg9bk]

@@dennisvanherle2287 you're deluded if you think that mate. They both train under the same trainers so they naturally both have similar fighting styles and strengths. Don't forget Islam also has the upper hand in reach, standup and also takedowns. Ground control and defence and fight IQ is where i see khabib surpassing Islam.

The submission by Islam looked more like a von flue choke than an arm triangle. Because he was putting pressure on Drew's larynx, not the neck.
