Tony Ferguson had some grievances to get off his chest at the UFC 274 media day. VISIT: www.themaclife.com FOLLOW: / themaclifeofficial FOLLOW: / themaclife LIKE: / themaclife
@@jackcooper3307 he's pointing the finger at the business side of the ufc because he's pissed off with how they want to try treat him. People have short memories and easily forget who he is. Dana doesn't have to do shit about pay. I'd contest with Dana if he thought my value wasnt as high as he wants 😂 who does he think he is
when Tony said “Im waiting for insurance" you could feel the whole room sink a bit knowing what Tony has been through. We forget these fighters kill themselves for this sport. Tony is real as fuck
Most of them are thick as shit and couldnt do anything else, theyd be in jail or working in tesco, i think they should appreciate they can make money from fighting
Love Tony. Such a unique character, entertaining fighter and wild man. Glad to hear him speaking up for the fighters. The fact they don't have health care when they retire from the most violent possible sport is criminal.
He’s been through a lot and foought so much worse. Company doesn’t respect him because he speaks his mind but him and cowboy are legends and deserved to be treated as much
@@rquintero3 he speaks his mind, sometimes it's hit & miss though. Misses the point sometimes, so he's misunderstood.. comes off as crazy to ppl, like he's already got cte, but he's been like that from the start even during tuf. It doesn't shine the best light on the sport. But he ain't lying, he's pretty dead on here actually (mostly).. They did do him dirty too.
I just love listening to Tony ... he’s different, charismatic, smart , I feel his best fighting years have passed but not his story telling ... all the best man 👍🏻
This some the realest and saddest shi I ever heard…. Tony says it how it’s is. Been like that since we were introduced to him on season 13. Badass and well deserving
There’s no doubt that Tony should’ve got an actual championship fight at some point during his 12 fight win streak… outside circumstances don’t matter, he fucking deserved it! We love you Tony, Go get this WIN brother 👊
Tony got MULTIPLE title shots. Outside circumstances DO MATTER Tony officially had the title shot and tripped over a cable while wearing sunglasses indoors.
He is telling the truth I didnt expect this from Tony, but he has every right to be angry at the organization He is a future member of the Hall of Fame and I support him 100% Also not putting him on that poster is soo disrespectful
Lose 3 fights in a row and expect to be put in the back burner. Stop using race as an excuse. Plus Ferguson is the whitest last name! Give me a break with that bullshit
He is showing signs of psychosis. That's why he seems so weird. That's why he did all that sht with his wife. If he continues to fight? You will see this guy crash and burn.
He is actually very spiritual and emotional. He is a typical American in this day and age. Growing up thinking things were one way and meeting some very inspiring people and then you get to the real world and its full of shit and people that don't care about you and only want to profit off you and throw you away when your better days are behind you. That is not American and people are speaking out and things WILL be changing.
@@OSYofRR lol this is the real world and the real america, you think america was built on peace and kumbaya? like any empire it was built on war, blood and tears, broken treaties and broken laws, on might and misfortune, its far from the worst and better than most but like all it has its far from pretty bits mixed in its past.
@@MusMasi I am not asking for reparations or anything silly like that but the greed has reached an all time high and it seems to me looking around the money is not going back into infrastructure or maintaining things. We have a political/ corporate merger that has been increasing for years now and without going into depth about economics and why our federalist system worked, the two cannot coexist. If you are at the top or part of the new world government then you might like it but like all socialist systems they eventually fail. Everyone thinks they have the answer and why it will now work, technology has increased or we now have a blueprint etc. You have no idea how many people bureaucratic permitting regulations and unjust NDA's cost loving Americans who would have put back into the system and not game it or milk it and ship wealth overseas to other economies. With your apparent attitude I think you could appreciate taking care of our own first. Look at the projects in Philadelphia or Chicago, looks 3rd world. It will eventually become a bigger problem. We have seen the riots and nothing has really changed.
Well that was the most realest 24 minutes of any ufc press conference. Had respect for Tony anyway but just made me life long fan. Love the words you spoke mate so genuine 👍
Win or lose, I just wanna see him do well. I can't even think about his last 3 fights without getting emotional. He didn't just lose. It was like the end of an era. I really hope he puts on the best performance possible and at the very least get a FTN bonus. Hope he has prepared well. Chandler is not an easy fight for anyone!
This was a powerful video to watch honestly, this was raw Tony Ferguson. This was a real person showing real emotions. All respect and love to the legend
@@sofaking3486 no I saw he complaining a lot about UFC and do not really understood what he wanted from them. Complaining about Joe Rogan criticising his Jiu jitsu and not doing the same with Poirier, why is he worried about that? And the most spectacular one saying to the journalist that white privilege joke is not funny anymore and they should not be laughing about that anymore was bizarre, he chooses when and what is funny now. Mediocre
There’s no fighter who deserves a belt more than Tony. I know he had these losses, but 12 fight win streak, freak accident, Khabib retired. This guy got screwed so bad. The redemption arc in his story if he can get back to the top, then win the belt would be unbelievable
I love Tony, but he isn't winning no belt, that ship has sailed.. If he gets smoked by Chandler he really needs to retire! I'm worried about his future health smh.. He has taken a ton of damage whether he won or lost and it's piling up! Good Luck Tony on Saturday but if u lose in a bad way, then please retire bruh and think about ur future man!! God Bless 🙏
@@beverlypatama8148 12 fight win streak, 3 losses. Don’t write people off so easy. Yeah, he is getting up there, but look at how old the LHW champ is. 42
@@hardassteel I know he did! But i don't look at interim as the "real" Champion! U have to beat the Champion to be the Champion! And Khabib was the champion and IMO u can't call yourself the Champion unless u took his belt from him in the cage.. I love TF and he accomplished alot in his career but as far as the Undisputed Lightweight Champion Of The World, he wasn't... I'm very worried about TF though, he is shopworn badly IMO, and i fear for his health and safety going forward!! (He seems a bit delusional anymore idk).. U are not going to get better at 38 years old, and ur not ever going to be the fighter u once were at this point! If he gets smoked by Chandler, i really hope he retires and moves on in his life! ( I do however feel like Chandler is a good stylistic matchup for him though).. P.S (Ferg should not of been stripped of his interim belt though, that was complete BS by the UFC).. God Bless 🙏
@@CRASS2047 Glover Teixeira has not took the amount of damage TF has! Ferg has taken massive amounts of damage in his fights, win or lose! It's not about writing people off, it's about common sense and fear for his health and safety!! God Bless 🙏
Literally has nothing to do with this vid. The first 5 minutes of this were gems he was dropping and yet y’all don’t listen. Francis fought gane for 600k and now Dana doesn’t want to pay him what he deserves. That is so sad and controlling. Gaethje makes 8-10x what Francis does. Let that sink in. Jon jones has only made 7 million in his entire career in the ufc. Let that sink in. The most dangerous 2 combat fighters in the worlds career earnings are multiple times less than guys who aren’t even champ
@@kjguidry839 and why do you think that is? Because there's some big conspiracy against Jon Jones in the UFC? Maybe if you'd take some time to dig a little deeper, you'd realize there's more to it.
Not really I mean he came in stoked and then brought up the bad side of the fighters not getting paid correctly and how he’s waiting for insurance. Just because there is good and bad being stated by Tony don’t mean that he’s a roller coaster of emotions. Besides all and all he was mainly just speaking from his past experiences. Don’t see what you mean brah.. Good and bad don’t mean what you’re tryna say
Damn… I usually skip these parts to get to the main points of the interview but the more Tony talked I felt it was right to just sit back and listen, he truly is an interesting individual, I hope he wins this fight ✊🏿
I don’t usually skip but Tony is more interesting than the others he’s also Funny a lot of the fighters aren’t Tony could start his own podcast he’d be amazing at it
Tony made so much sense in this interview. Dude kept it real and I feel like he kept it real with himself this fight too. El cucuy fan, always and forever CSO
OMG Dude you don't realize how bad you miss someone until you see him back in the press conferences. Seeing el Cucuy there just brighten up my whole damn day.. as Tony Ferguson would say WOOOOOOW
I’m literally walking in Tony’s shoes. I wrestle for GVSU and I was ranked #1 and a week before Nationals. Unfortunately I tore my MCL. Next year I will be back with a vengeance. Last year I got COVID 2 weeks before Nationals when I was ranked #4 in the nation for Juco at 174. I lost to two all Americans on points and I knew in my heart if I didn’t get Covid I would’ve earned the NJCAA all American status. Next year I will be back with a vengeance and I will take what’s been stolen from me.
@@TouchNGo99 yeah man I’m keeping my head up for sure, I was beating the kid badly before the freak accident. I’ve been wrestling for 16 years and never got seriously hurt, I’ll be all good 👍
Brother, you've won the Ultimate Fighter and held the belt in the UFC, while gaining the love and support from fans the world over!!! Hold your head high forever, you deserve it!!!!
Whenever Tony fights; it's the only time that I feel personally invested in the outcome of the fight. Regardless of the outcome, he's still one of the greatest to step into the octagon at 155.
That’s literally how I feel as well, except my fighter is Conor. I can literally watch any other fight between anyone and not be worried but whenever my guy is in the octagon I always get legit anxiety
Tony's been watching some pro wrestling. The entertainer/story teller line is straight from pro wrestling. Tony was on FIRE with all the bars in this one!! Glad my boy's back!
The image of Tony Ferguson training his ass off like a maniac, wearing a bandana probably, in the middle of the night to ACDC is exactly what I love to hear, dudes a legend, and a 1-off
Tony is one of the reasons I get up in morning through all the health issues I have. No quit in him and I'm trying to adopt his mentality. I'll be happy if I end up half as strong as him.
Keep it up brotha. You take inspiration from tony but if you’re really doing it? You’ll become that inspiration to those around you. Keep leading by example bro keep being authentic and vigilant.
"I had to build something, so that way I have space on my shelf, to be able to put something new" what a deep metaphor he said... We all need to build shelf to have space for something new in life
Man these guys ask questions and it sounds like Tony is answering them at first but then he just gets lost in his words so he ends up telling a story and I find myself listening to the most random things
By far Tony Ferguson is the only fighter that can lose, disappear and receive just as much love and respect once he returns. Didn’t even realise how much I missed him until I started this conference
I've been watching UFC since it started but I fell out of the loop for a while because of where I was living. I have only seen Tony fight a couple of times. Need to get fight pass and catch up. People are all over his nuts and I need to see why.
I really felt that shit when he said they sent me an extension and didn’t even know they did. How disrespectful is that to a legend. He really brings things in perspective. I love Tony I hope he wins this and does whatever he wants next. He deserves nothing but the best.
Chandler is going to be tough for him. Power, incredible wrestling, and Tony isn't the same guy. But let's see. Dustin would take him out if Tony wins.
AMAZING point about his fall at Fox that shattered his knee and cost him his title and fighters needing health insurance!!! This was high level shit from Tony for neatly 25 min straight!! So proud and happy for this guy.
@@19jtown irrelevant ? 😐😂🤣 Man let's be real here tony is in his late 30s so that's mean he not going to stay in ufc for long That's seems completely relevant to me
Tony is the definition of people's champ .a legend for sure and he deserves better treatment from UFC... apreciate him while u have him, we the fans for sure do. lets go Tony!!
