my dude rda controlled the first and then just lost it from then on

bad choice leaving kings, these dudes didnt even have his stool ready after the 1st

 

[red81]

man, both ferguson and RDA are straight up savages. going 5 rounds at the pace they went at in that mexico altitude. 

 

 

[boxer15]

Leaving Kings wasn't a bad call, RDA is shot. I'm a big RDA fan and wanted him to win, but his chin gets touched and he shells up. His best days are behind him.

thats bs

very few fighters if any could have withstood that onslaught from eddie

he just didnt come out with the same energy to start the 2nd, tony was feeling it

 

[QU!K]

RDA falling further and further down the ladder

Makes you think, if Conor and RDA fought the original fight maybe Conor would be a 2 division champ already

except mma math isnt reality

i remember some dude saying conor could have knocked out rda after eddie did it

im sure conor could have knocked out robbie too

I can't stand McGregor, but he'd have a decent shot based on his accuracy and power.

He gets touched and he shells up leaving himself open to more punishment. Often times when he gets touched he backs himself into the cage leaving nowhere to run.

 

[atransta]

Ferguson looked good and the fight was entertaining.

 

[thehealthinspector]

he didnt shell up, he came right back in the 3rd

he just didnt have as much energy as tony, it was 48-47

 

[boxer15]

RDA did return fire on occasion, but you're lying to yourselves if you don't believe he got gunshot once he got cracked. Watch the fight again and you can see multiple times he gets cracked and retreats, it's a bad habit even if it is trying to get distance to recover.

 

[thehealthinspector]

what are you even talking about?  he got rocked twice in fight by 2 very clean shots and got sent reeling

people dont just walk through those

the same thing happened against eddie

 

[af1 1982]

Cot damn tony, you are a savage

 

[af1 1982]

Damn don't know who to give the number one contender to. Ferg or Khabib.

Ferg.

Khalil has fought like twice in the last 3 years.

 

[droseph]

Anyone that thinks Khabib deserves a title shot over Ferg is trippin. Ferg's resume>>>>>>>Khabib's.

 

[illphillip]

Hell of a fight from Ferguson. He's #1 as far as I'm concerned.

Funny hearing Anik and Stann gush over Cordeiro's corner work in the Dariush fight and openly discuss RDA's camp change with some of the conversations happening in here recently

 

[carver]

Wow Ferg is that dude

 

[blackcease]

RDA not looking like the terminator anymore. And still surprised Ferg won so soundly, especially after getting hurt and dropped the way he did in his last fight, crazy.


Regardless, if Conor wins this Saturday tho neither Ferg nor Khabib are getting a title shot, Conor Diaz 3 gonna be on the way

 

[thehealthinspector]

he looked like the terminator for 1 round, it was down hill after that, tony just brought too much pressure

it doesnt help that he was just standing there after the 1st looking for his corner, bunch of clowns

i feel like he just overreacted after his loss to alvarez and left kings, if he had won that fight, he'd still be there

 

[illphillip]

This "terminator" thing may have been grossly blown out of proportion

He took out Cerrone and Bendo in one round.

Definitely ate a lot of shots from Pettis. Who is definitely a dynamic striker, but never struck me as a KO finisher.

Same with Nate.

He still took a lot of shots from Tony last night and never fell. Ferguson might just be that dude right now. Hell of a run he's on.

Either that or I think even one of the guys at 145 is more of a marquee match up than Khabib or Ferguson.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ferguson is awesome man.... RDA eye poke might have impacted him but Ferguson took it to him.. hope he and Conor match up!

Ferguson messed up by not getting on the mic though...

 

[illphillip]

Ferguson is a tough match up for Conor.

Conor's reach advantage is gone.

Ferguson seems to have a chin on him and can actually wrestle (All American and National Champ) along with having slick BJJ.

Would love to see that fight.

 

[QU!K]

If Conor wins he's calling out GSP I'm telling y'all

After that he'll retire

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I feel like Ferguson isn't doing himself favors in terms of drumming up interest in him getting the title shot. Maybe he truly doesn't care, but at this point I feel that he has a legit chance to put his name out there.. he didn't get on the mic and he isn't paying any mind to 205

“I hope they knock each other out. Plain and simple,” Ferguson said on Fox Sports 1. “I really don’t care. I’ve got other things to worry about than watching that fight.”

I just really want him or Khabib (if he wins) to get the next shot...

Crazy if right after Zuffa sells, Conor and Ronda both retire
