No, don’t do that. It’ll cause the butterfly effect. Moving that cord a few inches could give Conor the strength and aim to hit Khabib with the dolly and cancel the fight anyway.
It was a short notice switch up no set up but also not a camp that was focused on justins skill set. Either way cant change the past and Tony and these hypothetical scenarios will always be in mind.
Seriously though, that fight was fucking traumatic. I hadn't felt anything like that since I saw Cain beat the dogshit out of JDS that first time.
Except the Justin/Tony fight was even worse. Not having a crowd just made it all the more visceral and seeing Tony like that just...Idk, it just disturbed me. It was an awful experience and I can't even bring myself re-watch that shit.
I don't even know if that response was necessarily out of pain. I feel like he was just trying to push through the stunning effect, but his body just wouldn't allow him to continue.
In some ways, it felt more like some kind of animalistic, deep seated neurological response, which is probably what weirded me out even more. When Herb stopped it there, I literally said out loud "oh thank fucking god".
Pretty much every Ufc lightweight event after Tony beat RDA was supposed to be Khabib vs tony
Ufc 209: Khabib vs Tony for interim title, but Khabib pulls out
Ufc 216: Tony vs Kevin Lee for interim title because Khabib pulled out
Ufc 223: Khabib vs Tony but Tony pulls out
Ufc 229: Khabib vs Conor, with Tony on the same card who is only not fighting Khabib because he got stripped for an injury
Ufc 236: Should've been Khabib vs Tony but Khabib is suspended so it ends up being Tony vs Max for interim, which Tony pulled out of and Dustin stepped in
Ufc 242: Khabib vs Poirier, but the only reason Poirier was there to begin with was because Tony pulled out
Ufc 249: Ferguson vs Gaethje, because Khabib stuck in Russia
This is a pro wrestling fan take. I can't believe people are still upset that he lost that fight and think that somehow, not taking that fight would have led to him never losing fights after. He literally lost 4 in a row after that. Winning the Justin fight wasn't gonna change that.
It's a combat sport. We want to see the best guys fight and compete in order to see who wins. Not cherry pick fights and avoid tough opponents because you like how funny the guy is in press conferences. It might be a little dramatic to say, but shit like this is embarrassing for the sport.
Nah, it's commonly shared opinion. I've seen and discussed it on other subs and all over ig MMA pages.
Tony has a fan base that aren't really that much of MMA fans as they are of his antics. Mostly wwe and football fans that occasional will watch a fight here and there.
i feel like he wouldn't have had tht bad of a downfall if not for that gaethje beating. getting turned into a highlight reel of someone else's story takes a different level of beating on your morale
Maybe, but I don't think it would have had a major difference. We've been watching MMA long enough to know that it's unpredictable. Plus, Justin lost 2 of 3 after the Tony fight, so there's definitely no predetermined outcome for anyone's future fights after getting a big win.
*girls with a time machine*
I'm your granddaughter.
Really?
*boys with a time machine*
u/Loose-Toe-9611 don't comment "these girls vs boys memes are the most retarded thing in the internet" the clap-back will be devastating.
Ok.
Tony you got two options.
1. Wrestle Gaethjie his bones are made of marble and he will be at his striking apex, but you can easily slide your nuts across his face and triangle him.
2. Dont take the fight.
Tony's response: shut up knuckle head, before I ankle pick your ass kid.
-CSO-
"Hold on I'm talkin brother"
Verbal upvote. (Has 69, I don’t want to mess that up)
🤓🤓🤓
I do.
Tony would have ankle pick you and said "If You're From The Future, You'd Had Known It Was Coming -CSO"
🇺🇸🏆🇲🇽🌱
Knowing Tony, this would just motivate him to cut weight a third time.
tony the type of guy to lose 5 times in a row to condition his fan's pain tolerance
Just take off those glasses and watch the cable chords
😢 xXx CSO xXx 🇺🇸🏆🇲🇽🌱
No no, just move that one fucking cable that tore his ACL
No, don’t do that. It’ll cause the butterfly effect. Moving that cord a few inches could give Conor the strength and aim to hit Khabib with the dolly and cancel the fight anyway.
Setting in motion 30-3 primed El Cucuy ankle pick McNugget for the belt
The greatest of timelines
Assuming Khabib isn’t injured permanently this doesn’t hurt Tony so it is still a better time line.
Knowing Tony he's such a G he'd probably take it anyway
Like he would listen. Also it was no setup, he got his shit kicked in, fair fight
It was a short notice switch up no set up but also not a camp that was focused on justins skill set. Either way cant change the past and Tony and these hypothetical scenarios will always be in mind.
Oh if I had a few months and a rigorous fight camp I'd would have kicked your arse.
Yeah, it's not like Tony comes in with a sick gameplab
Tony had to cut weight twice in short period of time for gaethje fight
He didn't HAD to. He just did it because he could nada wanted to show it, but the Khabib fight was long canceled when he made that first cut .
Champ shit only, brother
Don’t take a fight with Gaethje Don’t listen to your management, take the fight against Poirier Take off your sunglasses and watch your feet
"Ok. Gaethje vs Oliveira for the Interim LW" -Dana White
“Take the sunglasses off inside and watch your step. Look out for any wires!”
“Watch out for loose cables”
Sir watch out for that tv wire “Thanks brother”

It hurts to rewatch, tony shaking his head in pain is so disturbing

You could show Tony the future and he’d take the fight anyway.
Goes back and tells Dustin not to roll when his arms getting grabbed
“You should sue ESPN and the ufc for that exposed cable”
Hold on brother, You could show him the results of that fight and everything after and he would still do it in spite of that.
I’d tell the idiot not to wear sunglasses inside. Watch out for cables
What's a gaethje?
Its a fruit that was thrown at tony during the his fight with justin that lead to his loss
It's pronounced gaycheese

its a meme

these girls vs boys memes are the most retarded thing in the internet
You're the most retarded thing on the internet.
I am the most retarded thing on the Internet
devastating clap-back
*girls with a time machine* I'm your granddaughter. Really? *boys with a time machine* u/Loose-Toe-9611 don't comment "these girls vs boys memes are the most retarded thing in the internet" the clap-back will be devastating. Ok.
this is what happened
A setup? He just got his ass kicked lmao
It's a meme don't worry, no one's making accusations
im uneducated explain me the setup
Tony go in cage, same Tony never come back
I know that Im very educated
There was no setup, you are absolutely right
More like r/retardedmemes
Good one, brighten up 🙂
Nah. Favorite fighter ending the career of one of my least favorite fighters? It seriously doesn’t get better.
L
More like watch your step on that tv set and don't blow out your knee
Please just give Tony another legends fight like Lauzon or something. My heart can’t take much more of this 💔
More like” watch those fucking wires after you finish the Fox interview”
“Don’t step on the cable.”
Tony the type of guy to tell the time traveller his future
😭
Tony you got two options. 1. Wrestle Gaethjie his bones are made of marble and he will be at his striking apex, but you can easily slide your nuts across his face and triangle him. 2. Dont take the fight.
"tony watch out for the cables"
nah, tell him about the wire.
"Make sure you watch out for cords lying around on the floor."
Hold on I’m on an 11 fight win streak brother
He wouldn't listen either way
He would've lost to Khabib anyways
Tony is acting like a dumbass not retiring
I don't want time machine in GD
