What if Tony Ferguson bonces back and captures the UFC Lightweight Title? It would be amazing.
Now don't get me wrong, I definitely can see that the odds are against Tony.
Tony is coming off of two pretty bad losses. Tony is getting older. Tony has a huge matchup against a very talented and hot veteran in Beneil Darisuh.
Tony's losses looked rather bad for the most part. Beneil is definitely the favorite, I will admit. Beneil is also a respectful and humble dude, for the most part. I would not hate it if Beneil won, Beneil as a matter of fact has his own compelling story and career.
But man, I really do have a soft spot for Tony for some reason. He can be a bit of a character, a bit crazy even. But I don't think he's as crazy as everyone thinks he is. He obviously has some mental difficulties, but honestly that's what makes him relatable.
I don't even know if Tony puts on a character for the public, or what. But I don't think he is too much.
In my opinion, Tony is just a real and regular dude, with maybe a couple mental problems. He has a big chip on his shoulder.
Unless you think you're perfect, who can't relate to Tony? At least a little?
Tony is not exactly politically correct, he's not a straight up jerk either. I've always loved his interviews and his overall honesty. Tony sort of mirrors society as a whole. Imperfect, but trying his best. Who can't relate?
What if Tony went on a title run out of nowhere?
I believe it would be one of, if not THE greatest MMA storyline and career ever. Seriously. I don't care if Tony never would even defend the title.
Tony is absolutely a fan favorite and well liked by MMA fans and fighters alike. I believe many people wish that Tony will bounce back. But how many actually believe Tony will bounce back in a mega way? Has anyone pondered the possibility?
Many people wish Tony would bounce back. But I can't help but feel like nobody truly has faith that Tony will do it. I think a lot of people believe Tony is past his prime, his title window is over.
It really is hard to imagine, I'll admit. Before Tony's two losses in a row, he was on an incredible TWELVE fight win streak. To a lot of people Tony was the uncrowned champ. The people's champ.
It's a lot to ask a fighter to bounce back after such highs, such momentum, and then to deal with the lows of two straight losses when a title shot was right within his grasp.
But if any fighter could beat the odds and shock the world, I can't help but think that maybe Tony could do it. Would you doubt a guy like this?
I mean before Tony started his twelve fight win streak, did anyone believe he could pull that off?
Right now, many people are starting to believe Tony is washed up. A crazy fighter with his best year's behind him. His clout is gone, right?
But who else do you think could possibly comeback from such hurdles than this crazy mofo? If anyone can rise up from the ashes and shock the world, I think Tony could.
If Tony could come back from all of these challenges and get a UFC Title around his waist, I do believe that Tony would instantly become one of the GOATS for real.
I know this a lot of what ifs and things like that, but it's fun to wonder!
Tony has an epic and massive roadblock ahead of him if he wants to go on an epic run that shocks the world. That roadblock goes by the name of Beneil Dariush.
Dariush is a burly, strong technically sound and well-rounded fighter. He's been overlooked very similar to Tony throughout his career.
This fight is going to be huge. I'm nervous! I'm pulling for Tony! Won't be mad either way because Beneil deserves a lot of success too.
Basically, I feel like Tony is a wildcard, anything is possible with Tony. He could lose three more times and be released by the UFC, or he coukd seriously win the Title.
But still, go Tony!
Tony definitely has a chance. His win streak was incredible and his losses were against two very tough fighters. No shame in those losses at all.
I just think Tony is an asshole. He was bragging about breaking a student's ribs in his gym at the press conference? And trying to play the race card? I'm rooting for complete humiliation for Tony in this fight. I just don't want to hear any more nonsense from Tony after the fight. A devastating loss will keep him out of the post-fight presser.
Hahaha that's a good point, I wasn't a fan of that comment either. I kinda just chalk it up as he's trying to hard to be tough and sell the fight. It just came out cringey and weird. I'm not saying he's always nice, but he is who he is. Lol. I'm rooting for him!
That's what makes the fights fun! Whatever he's doing, it's working. People either love him or hate him and want to watch the fight.
No doubt!! I definitely appreciate hearing your different opinion and perspective. Tony is definitely a polarizing fighter. Nice to meet ya btw :)
Nice to meet you too!
Lately I've been making betting markets for the fights on dublup.io, but I didn't one for this event. I mostly make them for the fights that I'm super hyped about. I'm excited for this card, but I'm not a super fan of any of the fighters.
Ahhh I see, I'm always tempted to bet, but for some reason I never do. I will check out that site though, maybe I'll make a bet, but these fights are so close to call honestly. I'll check it out for sure though.
Yeah, I'm not much for betting either. But putting $1-2 on the fights using Hive makes the fights a little more exciting.
Oh snap you can use Hive?! I've been busy tonight, but that's pretty epic! Hmmmm lol
Yeah, it uses PAL which you probably already have some on hive-engine. It's easy to convert some hive or HBD into PAL.
yes indeed, thanks for the tip and helpful info! checking it out now
i'm very impressed with the site, very cool!
Maybe I'll make a market for next week's FONT VS GARBRANDT fight. I'm not super interested in either fighter, but putting a few tokens on the line makes me get into the research, hype, and interviews.
No doubt, plus more blogging fuel lol I'll keep an eye out!
I've put a market up. I'm leaning towards Garbrandt but it seems iffy.

Decent MMA media picks video here.
nice! I'll check it out for sure. Gosh I need to review more of Font's skills and style before making a choice.
