This is legit prime Tony, the best Tony has ever looked against arguably his best opponent (RDA still in his prime here) and he was having fun and being super creative. The crazy thing is he still looks so young here but his next fight was a year later against Kevin Lee and he looked considerably older. And then he kept fighting just once a year wasting his peak years until 2020... :(

I really believe that double weight cut before the Justin fight is what started the downfall.
@Yami_Spirit5 ай бұрын
@@crazy4052 It didn't help for sure but Tony did show signs of decline before that. He was just good enough to win despite that. I think along with the double weight cut, was the fact that he overtrained for Khabib. That fight was booked in December and he eventually fought in May. That's 5 months of training for a five round fight when champions usually have 2-3 month training camps. And then there's his inactivity of fighting once a year beyond his control during his mid 30s. So many factors caused a crazy downfall :(

Si dices de Tony, después de pelear con vs Kevin lee, Tony peleó 2 veces en 2 años, por qué tuvo una lesion de rodilla de rompe el ligamento 5 meses después se enfrentó a petiis, con un buen performance a pesar de venir de una lesion de ahí tubo problemas mentales alucinando cosas, luego enfrenta a cerrone y Tony sale victoria en los inicios del 2019 de ahí viene la pandemia y todo ese año inactivo, se ve un Tony recuperado mentalmente y físicamente, se anuncia la pelea khabib vs Tony, y se cancela y después de ahí comienza el infierno para Tony, los 2 cortes marcaron una diferencia en el declive sumando la paliza que se llevó esa noche y sin caer dormido
