Footwork and distance management as well. Not flashy but he's making small adjustment steps so he's almost always at the distance he wants to be at. Tony throws, he's almost always just out range and Tony's catching his arms. He's in range when he wants to throw, he's angling out instead of going back in a straight line. Very different from the Gaethje who debuted in the UFC with no losses.

Foi um choque para quem acompanhava as lutas. Fiquei com pena do Ferguson de tanto que ele tava apanhando...fiquei de fato preocupado com ele nesse dia.

Most huge shots I've ever seen someone take and not go down.

UFC 249 was iconic, at the peak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Justin Gaethje vs Tony Ferguson was a war, masterclass performance by Justin 👏👏👏👏

I remember seeing this live.. I was so hyped man, I saw tony start off slow but then he catches him with that uppercut! Was screaming and wishing Tony had another minute. But I truly had a hard time watching tony take this punishment. When he got caught with the fight ending jab we have never seen anyone react the way he did. So much punishment and still has heart of a champion! Real fans love tony. You casuals missed his run man honestly...

Yes, great words, man! Tony was an elite fighter for sure. It was heartbreakin' to see him lose like this. He is one of my favs

Imagine landing power shots for four and a half rounds and then getting the finish with a jab.

Yeah man .... Coz he jabbed with the OH right in this fight 😜😜😜

Oh My God! So much admiration for anybody who steps in the Octagon. Win or Lose! Did Tony not win some kind of courage award? Thanks guys for your skill and courage!

Fight left me heartbroken. Love both fighters

Tony has one of most incredible chins. Dude could probably take a hit from Francis Nganou and live to tell the story.

it's kinda sad seeing Tony get cracked like that over and over again

Idc if I'm called a casual, but I've watched a lot of UFC and this is my all time favorite fight. The zero crowd adds a lot of suspense on such a brutal standup fight!

Tony got hurt early in the second round and never recovered. What a warrior to stay in there as long as he did the way Gaethje was boxing him up.

Almost no opponents that fought him came out without any damage, Justin Gaethje likes to brutalize his opponents! The only one who managed to get through him and still look fresh was Khabib, who put him to sleep! And there are ppl who still have the nerve to say that he only fought with nobody's! 🤦

Never seen such brutal beating while standing

Nothing makes me respect a fighter more (and want them paid more) than when they absorb the type of punishment that makes us fans realize just the type of savagery being an elite UFC fighter entails...

"Nobody moves like Tony Ferguson".. LMFAO!!!! Right into every single punch. Ferguson was totally outclassed.

Gaethje is one of the very few guys who needs to get a mandatory rematch on every single fight he loses.He is more than worthy. One of the best fighters of all time UFC. His fight resume is very impressive.

Tony fergoson is brave fighter, atlest 15 strong punches his face but never down

too tough for his own good god damn.

Precision of a Lazer comparable to a P2-15 modulator set to destroy mode. Impressive.

Tony’s gotta be one of if not the most heartful guys in ufc history dude would never give up youd have to kill him to get him to stop
