People disrespecting prime Tony forget that his decline did not begin until he was 36. Fans are now putting guys like Poirier and Gaethje above him when those guys are barely reaching that age themselves. Tony is a top 5, maybe even top 3 all-time great at 155. Only other lightweights to have as long of a UFC winning streak are Islam and Khabib.

@hanzohasashi4534 4 ай бұрын

The Tony/Khabib outcome depends on when the fight would have happened. The fight was first booked in 2014, at which point Tony was a veteran in his prime, while Khabib had just entered the UFC and wasn't nearly as effective with his grappling back then. I believe Tony would have won that fight. The last fight was scheduled in 2019 when Khabib was at his peak, and Tony was edging close to 40 years old, and he had begun declining. I believe Khabib would have won that fight.

He should’ve rested a long time after Lee and not do a double weight cut, let the leg heal, not go short notice for an interim belt again with a striker when you’ve been preparing for khabib with sambo, and should’ve evolved his defense because he was always on offense. I will never forget this Tony. My favorite fighter, El Cucuy.❤
