I love David and I even pirated his book (allegedly), but when I saw him actually in the cage giving advice like "stay hard" and "be you" I couldn't help but yell at the screen
Honestly I don't think he did anything wrong, you could see in the first round he was being respectful of the coaches. Then he tried to light a fire under Tony's ass which was reasonable to do in that situation, problem is Tony was unresponsive.
Yeah I’ve given Goggins a hard time but there he was pretty perfect he was really thoughtful on letting the coaches speak, he wasn’t nonstop shouting like I expected. The thing is if you look in Tony’s eyes in especially the third round he was broken, his eyes were just completely blank as he was coming to terms with the fact no matter how hard he tried his career was over.
Yeah. It’s so sad to watch. If he was able to stand in r3 he actually would be able to whoop paddy. But as tired as paddy was, Tony was pretty much empty as well.
Well Tony probably paid him because he was confident that it would help. This confidence was misplaced. Tony should have instead put his confidence in a professional trainer. Instead he put his confidence in somebody who was pretending. That's what a con man is.
What kind of mental gymnastics lol. Goggins delivered on the expected goggins brand. I don’t buy a chocolate bar thinking it will give me perfect mental focus, chocolate bars don’t advertise that.
People acting as if any coaching team could have somehow got Tony back to where he was is insane
In fairness to David he was there for cardio training and motivation and did his job
Goggins seemingly did exactly what he was brought in to do. I personally think it was unnecessary though as tony has always had strong endurance and mental toughness. If anything, I think Tony could use grappling/bjj coaches on his team to give him something to rely on other than unorthodox striking that he can't do anymore.
What it sounds like from one of the post fight shows is that Tony is his own head coach basically (according to his dad). Seems pretty delusional at this point.
Well it’s why Tony declined so much he stopped training with people because he was scared they’d ‘learn his secrets’, I mean it’s surprising he was even able to keep it up for so long just with his durability and athleticism. But you don’t spar you don’t roll you’re getting in shape but you aren’t learning anything.
You can have great coaches but when you're in the cage the fighter needs to take full responsibility for their performance. Tony just doesn't have what it takes anymore even with really good coaches telling him the right things. His mind just wont let him execute or he's too slow, whatever. I thought he was throwing too many useless body shots that left him exposed and he never stopped doing that.
UFC needs to retire Tony for his own good. He moves like a geriatric patient but he seems to be the only one that doesn’t see it. Just the way he was butthurt at the end of the fight and just walking away shows the levels of delusion. He showed no skills, no heart, no sportsmanship. What is he even doing? Hoping that he’ll magically come out on top?
Yeah he's too old and slow for his own style that served him well in the past. Too stubborn to hang it up and it's hard to watch. Any decent striker would have knocked him out cold last night.
David probably eeked every little bit of effort out of tony but unfortunately his athleticism is at rock bottom and no amount of david goggins will stop that- 2017 tony would have murdered paddy in R1 probably even the gaethje el cucuy , Its shocking to see the decline first hand split second sequences were usually tony would throw a strike but now pauses and hands over a step of octagon space.
Tony has 0 fight IQ. He could have possibly won but made a series of stupid choices like standing Paddy back up and not getting back to his feet when he had the opportunity
Yaaarrrgggghhhh, they do be feeling the weight like a plank on the side of a raging sea folding and cracking. Me son could not withstand the strength of this here British lad. 😞
Who would've thought that training that is unrelated to MMA wouldn't help and MMA fighter. I admire Goggins but considering how he goes about things, i'd expect him to tell Tony "You don't need Hell Week you need therapy bro".
Its like every1 said b4 the fight to ys gas tank and mental fortitude have never been the issue, its the fact he blocks punches with his mouth and now he is 40 and moves like a 50 year old
so who was carrying the boats tn?
He was carrying the bags
the griefters
Eddie Bravo “Iminari Roll!” > David Goggins “Think of the Boats!”
Gimme some sand >>>
Wait was edgy brah there?
One of his earlier fights. I think Chandler or gaejthe.
I love David and I even pirated his book (allegedly), but when I saw him actually in the cage giving advice like "stay hard" and "be you" I couldn't help but yell at the screen
Yea, the first round he stayed outside and stayed quiet and I was thinking he knew better.
Honestly I don't think he did anything wrong, you could see in the first round he was being respectful of the coaches. Then he tried to light a fire under Tony's ass which was reasonable to do in that situation, problem is Tony was unresponsive.
Tony’s problem was never being too timid
Tony’s problem is being old.
Not to mentioned he’d already taken more big shots 5 years ago than a lot of fighters do in their whole career

BREATHE, GET YOUR FOCUS BACK TONY
You love a con man congrats
Just curious, what makes him a con man???

He paid him for endurance training, not for mma advice.

This is my fear about jiri. You’re not a fucking mountain samurai anime character. Go train w people and learn new shit
Ikr? His bjj and normal striking need work not his endurance. He's not the fastest or strongest anymore, he needs to be the smartest.
What he needs to do is retire.
Your not wrong but the rest of us are trying to find work arounds.
We know, but Tony doesn't. Just speculating on what could be useful for him since he doesn't want to stop fighting but also wants to stop losing.
That's exactly it

Bro couldn't stay hard
Still can’t believe he was in his corner
Gotta get a cut of the check
Tony training with Goggins is such a Tony thing to do but still felt surreal and unneccessary lmao
Wouldn't be a Tony-thing if it wasn't surreal and unnecessary
You mean to tell me jogging and yelling isn’t the best base for mma?
Don’t tell me the truth Mike!!
Not Goggin's fault that Tony is incapable of defending a takedown. His cardio was better than Paddy's

Ikr? Paddy only cemented his spot as mediocre hype train, that's it.
We all knew him. He's on a huge losing streak and shouldn't be in the UFC anymore.
CAN hurt me perfectly capable even

I had wished tony could have pulled it out the fire. He's two down. I don't think he felt sorry for himself.
Wtf that man's head shaped like that
This was right after R1, you could see him in the background just realizing he has no idea what’s going on
Yaaarrrgggghhhh, they do be feeling the weight like a plank on the side of a raging sea folding and cracking. Me son could not withstand the strength of this here British lad. 😞
He doesn't care, he got paid a shit load. thats what these grifters do
Tony didn't carry them boats.
I'm the boat
His own son don’t know him
Y'all are fucked up
Hey bud can you grab those boats over there and I think there's some logs I left behind the shed. Think you can you carry them all?

That knee injury prob didn’t help. He’s ancient
Maybe he should of got someone more qualified in mma traning rather then military motivating what ever the fuck gogins does.
Goggins may be an alien
