Tony working on his cardio during an interview by talking for 30 mins straight is truly impressive. CSO🐢🤑🇺🇸🇲🇽 ⚔️
Lmfao hahahaha I love Tony but I think I've heard enough for today lmao
@@robertosalazar9676 yeah I’m skipping the submission radio interview. Tony is exhausting lol
Tony is the easiest interview. Ask one question & he goes for 20 minutes without even taking a breath.
And after say “hold on brother I’m talking “
@@carsonborak568 yeah... cus he's talking brother
Tony the type of guy to answer simple questions with 27 minute answers… CSO🫶🏻🫶🏻
😅
Tony is the type that doesn't do conversation
When Tony said he told Charles “hey ima need you to focus” 🤣
The best
Most energy from DP ever. Love it.
Chandler ducking hard
Dude Perfect?
@@jacobmccutchan5943 Double penetration
Jacob McCutchan Double Penetration
Coach Tony vs Coach Khabib in TUF will have such good ratings. Both are so dedicated to their craft
Headlined by Tony’s student with a broken rib vs Islam
Ferguson is not done. The man has heart.
He is done
I thought Tony looked the best he's looked for years, I was impressed as I thought he was washed up. Looking forward to his next fight.
He's washed. 4 losses in a row.
@@ErnestoMike It's pointless the fanboys will never accept it. He's been done since Gaethje beat him within an inch of his life
Yes heart of a JOURNEYMAN!
Tony’s interview is awesome. I’m not a fighter, so I will never know how it *really* feels, but if I was I would wish to be like Tony. He always seems honest, not cocky but confident.
he is also clinically insane
That might be the best and most clear interview I’ve ever heard from Tony Ferguson 👍
Dude is in a good place, noticed that in his submission radio interview as well
The story of Ariel getting called out by an 8 year old at a FOOTBALL game is my favourite moment of the show. “Maybe you should come out here and play”. 10-7 to the little kid
That kid probably has some lousy ass parents/upbringing. Still a funny story though.
Tony treating us with 3. Interviews in the last week !! Best of luck in your comeback tony
Do you mind linking or at least telling me the other 2??
@@Death_Incarnate submission radio is the other one, forgot the last one but he did do two
@@Death_Incarnate mma junkies and submission radio brother ! Can find both on KZhead but he does repeat some of the same stuff in them as here :£
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to take credit for how he got knocked out
🤣🤣
“Idc I’ll fight him too” Dustin is the man!
Incredible show today Ariel 👍 Top Tier
best show in a while. especially towards the end with Dustin and Tony.
These pat Barry comments are top tier
Hats off to Paul. Legend in MMA. Best wishes
I love Jake Paul too
I agree with the others here. Best show in a while and great guests. I love how you gave Tony his real estate to talk and you chimed in at the right moments to ask questions. Been waiting for an episode like this for a while.
Tony vs Werdum is the fight to make
Tony 2:35:00
Another fantastic show 🤘🏼, big shoutout to everyone behind the scenes who makes the show possible and El Nariz
That Paul Daley v da Silva uppercut k.o tho!!!
I'm not saying he's hilarious, but Poirier lowkey has one of the best senses of humor in MMA. It's understated.
Him calling the belt fools gold then failing to win it and crying was pretty funny
@@gr7927 Yeah, that was good. Gaethje took it and ran with it by throwing the "fake" belt on the ground only to get tapped when he fought for the real one. Never one to stop progressing, he knew it could get funnier if he tapped to the guy he relentlessly called a coward, and he was right. It was very funny.
Hearing this side of Tony is awesome
Dustin & Tony = 2 Legends Thank for this stuff Ariel
Pat " Everyone in live chat was calling me a groomer so they erased it ' Barry
Pat “amber alert” Barry
@@jacksdad734 😂
Pat "el cartero" Barry likes to groom and destroy careers
@@OldManGamin_OMG 🤣🤣🤣 that's rough. Hilarious though!
Crazy - this is the most coherent i've ever heard Tony. Like some sense was knocked into him.
Ariel, you the real MVP for giving Tony the room to say what he had to say.
TONY VS KHABIB ON TUF! I LOVE IT! GREAT IDEA TONY, EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET TOGETHER AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN! THEY DON'T NEED TO FIGHT TO COMPETE! JUST IMAGINE THE INSANITY OF TONY AS A COACH! IT COULD BE THE BEST SEASON EVER!
Tony deserves the opportunity to be a tuf coach. He’s arguably the most successful prospect coming from tuf
@@timfilipiuk9612 I mean Usman, Whittaker first maybe?
@@thedminademian6584 those are good shouts for sure, but just in terms of grandeur and impact on the sport, I think T Ferg tops the list
Retired
@@Sam-ng3of he didn't retire from coaching did he?
Thank YOU ariel for another tremendous show
Hey Ariel, thanks again! No complaint but heads up, the audio feed is crossing over from last Wednesday’s episode on Spotify and other apps
We love tony..
awesome interview with MVP. feel like no one wants to trade with him period
@@Mmabasedgoddess doesn’t change the fact that Storley layed on him and didn’t try to cause damage or finish him once. MVP getting the Adesanya treatment
@@Mmabasedgoddess two different organizations bro. did you watch MVPs last fight or listen to this interview? Not the same rules as far as staying busy on the ground as the ufc. UFC will stand you up if you don’t work, MVP got laid on for a majority of the fight
@@Mmabasedgoddess I was saying he’s similar to Adesanya in the sense of no one wanting to exchange with him early in his career and guys would try to stall by laying on him
@@Mmabasedgoddess you’re a clown lmao you must be Storleys number 1 and only fan
@@Mmabasedgoddess MMA was never a strength contest. It's not amateur wrestling where somebody gets points for ride time. ...Mixed Martial Arts...(MIXED). Not attempting a submission or any ground and pound...just being a tick is not MMA.
The promo music for DraftKings in the 3rd segment was insane.
So many banger DP fights out there: Gaethje 2 Ferguson Chandler Get him a fight!
Banger line up
Great show! Great segments for sure! Ariel is the GOAT at MMA journalism and prob besides Rogan the only one respected enough to get the top talent to talk on his show. It’s really cool to hear some of the top fighters on Helwanis show
Tony…. I forgot what he was saying but it got stuck wit me. 😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing Tony interview
Can you keep New York Rick on his own segment so I can just skip that part only?
Please!
Never heard MVP speak until this podcast - humble guy esp after that loss - big respect to him 👊🏽
Here for tony !
Oh no Dustin.. Colby might do more damage to you than he did to Masvidal.
i like ariel and i definitely love when he is in his heelwani mood......but him not understanding why people or fighters call him an instigator, and than showing poirier a clip of chandler taking some digs at him...come on now ariel! you know why 😃🤦♂️
Instigating fights between the fighters? 😂
True. I really do like him but he's bit of a victim and instigator
Yh he's an instigator who likes to play victim
There's a reason his nose is that big
Tony should ABSOLUTELY charge Joe Rogan to be on that podcast.
Tfurg, the realest bro out there. Always being real.
Poirer should rematch Gaethje. I wonder how Gaethje would fare this time with his new patient technical style.
I thought the same but DP wants to fight now. Justin fought a few das ago so it is not possible in the coming weeks.
Patient technical style???
I think Dustin still beats him. I think it would be a banger like last time though
It's 2 am And it just feels so wholesome listening to Tony feel happy , It Honestly made feel happy and made me wanna get a sponsor and get out of the bad habits I'm doing it honestly felt so wholesome hearing tony say he has our back as a Fan and if you're going thru a bad time right now it's not forever just keep it pushing and stay strong thank you Ariel and Tony Ferguson CSO 😎😎😤🤞🏼
Love you Tony. Follow your hearts desire, keep the right ones around you. Keep a clear mind. There's lots (literally thousands of us) rooting for you W L or D. Be good brother.
Poirier calling Colby out now knowing he's injured and probably can't fight soon😂😂😂
He got offered the fight, not calling him out.. lol
i miss ariel and dc so much best mma show!!
Dustin is a SOLID interview.
Cheers
Paul Daly is the real deal
At least half of this was Tonys interview.
Tony wow 💪✊
Still love you Tony. You've had some master piece fights and I have faith you
🔥🔥🔥 That Tony interview
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to live his life by a quote he doesn’t remember.
TONY TIME!!! -CSO- 👊😎
Tony legit sounds better than he ever has..

“It takes a lot of courage to break open that shell of a nut so that you can present and plant that seed” that hit home
MVP going though the same thing as Izzy, everyone so scared to fight him, they come in the octagon to survive
mvp had bad perfomance he lost
Anyone else getting last week's episode on audio feeds? Spotify etc..
Another show over 100k views.. 🔥🔥
Holy Tony!!
Tony's the type of guy to give his opponent a blood transfusion between rounds so he can make them bleed more.
That profile picture is just hideous. There are a lot better edits. Change it
Paul Daly 👏👏👏👊🏼
Loved this episode. Ariel’s shows are always great but this was hitter after hitter. Real ones on this Ep. Loved it!
Pat “diaper sniper” Barry call out crew, form up.
Pat “445” Barry
Top 3 mma show 👏
Tony mentioned Uncle Rico I'm 💀☠️.
Paul we love you!!!
That's how you get fans, by accepting all fights, not going for Conor, Nate etc. Dustin is becoming likable to me finally, lets go!
Hearing Tony this vulnerable is a little sad. I haven’t seen him this “out of character” in a while. Not a typical Ferg interview. The one with Submission Radio was similar. Ferguson has one of the biggest hearts in the UFC. Dude is a maniac but seeing his vulnerability here was a weird experience.
He’s been humbled
I wouldnt call it vulnerability. He's become sharper and wiser
2:06:01 LOL. i feel like dustin is comfortable expressing his own personality.
Love shout out to our home state warrior
Tony on twitch and more interviews? Nicee
Tony with the quote thats stuck with him but forgot the quote 🤣😂😅
Tony is the don, I'm glad he knows his fans aren't going anywhere and to be honest i would have been happy to see him retire and move on to greater things but now after hearing all that I think he's excited and inspired again.
i really like tony, he's a legend and feel super bad how he lost his fight, considering how good he looked in the first round against chandler, but damn! this felt like a rambling therapy session 😂🤷♂️
he lost the first round keep crying tony is a bum like olivera khabib and machakev on another level then those chinny bums
@@hellotron9118 wow i havent looked through these comments in months and i still see your loser ass trolling, seeking attention. truly pathetic
~CSO~
The problem is tony wont retire thats the problem. Hes only hurting his legacy.
@@hellotron9118 Islam is pure inbred like you.
DP looks hungry for get back
TONY!
Poirer called him schmo😂
Tony the Soulja boy of mma. The first to wear sunglasses and the first to dye their hair blonde
There was something that felt historic during the Tony interview. Funny how Ariel talks about Tony’s demeanour after like he had nothing to do with it. #Wizard
Good content - That bloody intro though.. Ahhh
DP 💪🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻
My God Tony can talk
I pray to god Dustin doesn’t fight Nate and fights Colby instead.
@@ethernetify how’s Colby gonna fight? I thought he had brain damage hahah
Why? It’s a boring fight. Colby doesn’t put on the most entertaining fights by any means. Far more interesting fights for both of them. Also stylistically it’s pretty predictable. It’s like masvidal all over again which was a shitty fight. I wanna see Colby and burns. Maybe Dustin and chandler. Diaz and Dustin is also too predictable but at very least it’s a more enjoyable fun fight
I feel like Colby doesn’t have the fight style for grudge matches. He’s very good but I mean there is a reason he was almost cut. When there is this huge build up you wanna see people duke it out or wanna see something like khabib vs Conor where khabib violently ground and pounding Conor. Colby just holds you down and does the minimum to keep you in position. It’s a waste of a Dustin fight when hes probably retiring relatively soon. Rather see another poirier banger slug fest
Why that Fights fuxking sucks. Number 1 welter vs number 1 lightweight. guess who takes it? Colby huggington
That'll be a wrestling match. I'm good on that
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to host a podcast via telephone
Tony time!!!!!!!
I think they should put me aginst jan next for #1 contendership
