cuz the people who claim to be fans are just here for the hype and leave, thats why UFC fighters are calling out the fans for being so shitty like not worrying about the fighter health and well being, making memes of every life struggle they have, and hoping back and forth as fans and shitting on people for a laugh at the detriment of the fighter. These people who put their life and health on the line should have respect from the audience but they dont, and the respect they get is 50/50 fake

too many casual fans, Tony was an animal threw out his entire career. always has been one of my favorite fighters, him and ghaetje's fight was heart breaking. like a changing of of guard, like the old version of the damage machine giving way to the new version of a violence generator. he's an animal but I think ghaethje and Tony need to fight again.

Ironically, Tony's attempt to come back from his knee injury in 5 months serves as a cautionary example of the dangers of being too resilient to pain as it affected his athleticism which was a key component of his fighting style. If you watch his performance before the injury and his two fights after you can see that his performance diminished.

once again you've made me feel something, love, pain, sadness, hope, after all that's the aim right? this unusually set me emotions right off, tony ferguson is my absolute favourite fighter too. watching him lose breaks my heart, but watching him not give a fuck and carry on regardless of how bad it was makes me wanna lead an army in to battle. I am currently dealing with a long term injury that's slowly but surely getting better, its a sort of career ending injury if left unattended, so to me i have no choice but to carry on no matter the cost. i think that is why listening to you talk about martial arts and in particular tony ferguson, has led me to near tears, and also to write this comment right as i got home from work. i already watched your first tony video, and i'm grateful you made another one, first time so nice you had to do it twice. Thank you Mixed Martial Academic

Thanks so much for your awesome comment I love it. With regards to your injury, not sure if you mean career eneder it terms of sport, or literal career, but Im going to assume sport. just over 9 months ago I stress fractured both my tibias from running super high mileage and it was devestating to my life mate, I really feel your pain and the only thing I can say is, if physiotherapy is an option then commit to it fully, and stay postive through it all, I recently did an essay for my degree on sport psychology and injury - it really can not be stated enough that motivation and positivity are key indicators to a successful return to sport. As silly as it sounds, what that means in reality is, every single day work toward recovering your injury - Diet, exercises, and mindset. Really work on meditiation and mental exercises that can make you stronger and more positive. At the end of this my friend you will be more mentally resilient and ready to get back to it! I wish you the best and I feel your pain my man!

@@MixedMartialAcademic yes mate its a sport injury, ive been training MMA for nearly year now, ive always wanted to but never had the balls, now i do. ive fallen in love with it and have actually started to shape my life around it. Now all i want to do is fight, my goal is to become professional and make a living from it. the last 6-7 months ive been training with this injury trying to work around it as best i can, and the key really is to stay positive and keep going simply because there is no other option in my head, as i am no quitter. And actually the whole meditating and diet stuff you mentioned, i am trying to do those things as best i can with the discipline i posses, and so far it's been up and down, recently more so than not as i am finally kicking things in to gear with my progress, but compared to where i was less than a year ago, you wouldn't recognise me. Over weight, out of shape, drinking, smoking you name it. but the reason im doing that stuff is because of the book of 5 rings that i am now on my 2nd read of, and i got that book because of YOUR video, just thought you should know how much you can impact someones life by just making a video about something your passionate about. those stress fractures are no joke holy fuck, if it doesnt break you then it makes you, i am sorry to hear that none the less, im guessing the reason you are able to deliver such a speech about tonys injury and or mental resiliance itself is due to your own personal experience. And that i commend you fully. i will not disclose the injury because you never know who's watching ;) Keep up the videos man they really are a work of art and thankyou for such a lovely reply.

thank you for this. The people that knows know.. Tony's journey in UFC is both tragic and amazing. he was truly robbed of the legacy that a human of his calibre deserves. Tony's the type of guy to brush the horrible luck and politics that ended up watering down his accolades and career on paper. But the hardcore fight fans who where around for Tony's prime years will always have a massive appreciation and respect for this inspiring athlete. And we should pay the man back by keeping his legacy alive as one of the greatest warriors in history of fighting despite never getting to fulfill the traditional achievements of one.

Great video, man. Nice to see someone approach the conundrum of Tony Ferguson in a different way than others. I still love Tony, he's one of the few fighters that has that 'wow' factor that makes watching them almost transcendent, amazing, inspiring. I hate the way he's looked in the las few fights, seeing him lose his magic has been truly saddening. Still, he's truly unique, and that period he was that transcendent fighter was beautiful to experience. I'm glad I got to see it. And I'm glad I watched your video; you did a brilliant job of highlighting this aspect of the man. Liked and subbed. Keep up the good work, man.

Not sure how I have not found this channel before now…. I am truly thankful, inspired, and motivated! This channel needs to be spread all over the globe 🌎 And for what it is worth I take a huge deep breath knowing and learning that many others appreciate the career that Tony has created and is still working hard on! Under appreciated is an understatement and made feel very bad for Tony but this has allowed me to realize that I don’t need to feel bad for him bc his legacy along with his destiny is written in stone forever! Thank you for making these videos and I will share this channel with all my mates if you don’t mind! Much love to the world from Indiana, USA

People are acting like he has bean getting beat up since the Justin loss but really only Justin beat him up. The other guys just wrestled him all night. Wait till we see another striker face him. God willing, we will get some Tony Time bitches!

his mental strength is being able to lie to himself and will himself through the hate he has for where he is in life professionally. Even the strongest person can have moments of self harm or harm to others. Im surprised we dont hear more about his difficulties. He will face a lot more as he ages. Hope he is ok

I cam back and watched his gaethje fight and I was surprised because I remember it being not that competitive but it was actually a really competitive fight until the last moments of the fight. Tony is a beast and I can just feel it that he will be able to make a comeback despite his losses, he's just that type of guy.

Tony's not perfect and that's ok. He's not my favorite fighter because he's perfect. He's my favorite fighter because he looks past his imperfections and shows people that you are you're worst enemy. Overcome yourself and you climb the highest mountain
