Versus chiesa too... both men capable of dealing and taking a lot of damage, but probably both men incapable of getting a k.o or submission. I worry for Tony's brain health down the road
Nick looked like an old guy in a bar fight in his last fight and gave up...and Vicente looks traumatized and timid ever since Geoff Neal almost killed him. 2 people who don't want to fight anymore but have to for money...not the best matchmaking but I'll take it.
Looking at his behavior both in and out of the ring these past few years, Tony’s brain already seems so compromised I fear there’s not much road left to go down…
UFC have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to fighters and they still suck at matchmaking a lot of the time. Tony vs Nick was a no brainer, just like Nate vs Tony was last time and that only came to fruition because of Khamzat missing weight, they're idiots sometimes.
CTE really starts showing years after the damage was done. Tony could never fight again and would still get much worse- guy needs medical and psychological supervision, not more fights at middle weight
He's a legend but you can't give him a title shot right away. Give him a good test in the division like a Tony vs Derrick Lewis then if he does well we give him tom
Bro this man hasn’t won a fight IN 5 YEARS and has taken a beating in every one of his last 7 fights. Loved watching the guy do his thing too but seriously, he’s 40 years old and likely facing brain damage. Not sure why my opinion is so far fetched

Hope Nick opens up with his spinning kick of doom again
I don't think it's winnable, i think Chiesa will just lay on top of him. Tony TDD has always been sketchy but his ability to scramble and escape bottom position is gone if he didn't accept it already
Yeah, Chiesa looked absolutely washed against Kevin Holland. I could see him getting some top control though, Tony has lost all ability to defend takedowns
This would have been the fight to make. Two brain dead and washed up guys who don't want to be there. Nick would just pull an Anderson Silva and run laps
If only Luque hadn't already submitted Chiesa in 2021, I would rather so much to see Ferguson fight Diaz and Luque fight Chiesa. I have a feeling Ferguson and Diaz will both get wrestlefucked by their respective opponents.
It’s their new toy, once they get tired of it they will throw it away like they do with their super/luxury cars. Money means nothing to them even when they lose tens of millions of dollars on a shit boxing match.
I don’t know about his contract but I know the last few times Tony fought Dana was hinting that he should retire. I think win or lose against Chiesa, Dana lets him go.
I'm glad Tony will be fighting Chiesa, another guy who hasn't looked great recently and doesn't really pose a knockout threat. I can watch Tony get submitted, just no more head trauma...
I don’t want to see Nick, Luque, Chiesa, or Ferguson ever fight again. Three of these dudes are cooked and Luque’s brain stuff is reason enough to not fight again.
Doesn’t Luque vs Chiesa and Diaz vs Ferguson make more sense? Luque vs Chiesa winner can get a fight around #10, Diaz and Ferguson could double retire.
Instead we get to watch ghost of Luque clobber slow and old Diaz, and Chiesa gets back in the win column by submitting Ferguson. Unreal.
I’m honestly shocked and sad to see Nick is fighting. I’m a huge fan, but this is clearly just to get a paycheck. After seeing him against Robbie I’m really concerned about his health.
Nick AND Tony!!! Ufc really don’t care about its fighters! Cmon! We don’t wanna see tony barely speak or walk or worse!
Fuck this shit i really love tony and I don’t wanna see him fight
Did he just call loopy godinez and mackenzie dern "active strikers"??! They are both exciting to watch but are very much grapplers by definition, which anybodys who'sseen them would know. What a weird things to lie about
Wtf is this. They can just make Nick and Tony fight eachother. He already fought Nate.
Also, why are these two still fighting tbh.
Dern and striker in the same sentence.
But yea, all the fights are banger.
I don't wanna see Nick ever again but Luque's brain is shot. I don't wanna see Tony fight ever again in my life NGL.
Versus chiesa too... both men capable of dealing and taking a lot of damage, but probably both men incapable of getting a k.o or submission. I worry for Tony's brain health down the road
Tonys CTE will be studied
He wants a warrior’s death
Bring back Mario yamasaki just for this match to make it happen
He can ref Dana slapping his wife around some more
Nick half showing up for the paycheck. He thinks he’s playing the ufc… Bet everything on Vicente.
Nick looked like an old guy in a bar fight in his last fight and gave up...and Vicente looks traumatized and timid ever since Geoff Neal almost killed him. 2 people who don't want to fight anymore but have to for money...not the best matchmaking but I'll take it.
He might gain superpowers we just don't know #CSO #CHAMPSHITONLY
CTE shit only!
Looking at his behavior both in and out of the ring these past few years, Tony’s brain already seems so compromised I fear there’s not much road left to go down…
Should have just had Tony fight Nick at 170 as a retirement fight for both Man this is gonna be tough to watch
UFC have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to fighters and they still suck at matchmaking a lot of the time. Tony vs Nick was a no brainer, just like Nate vs Tony was last time and that only came to fruition because of Khamzat missing weight, they're idiots sometimes.
Tony vs Nate was pretty boring tbf, Nate was treating it like a joke and Tony was too respectful.
The alternatives weren't going to be bangers either, both would have been brutal one-sided beatdowns lol
That Geoff Neal fight really messed him up bad.
Yup...the ending sequence of that fight is so brutal. Definitely a "never the same again" fight.
Nick is looking good on his IG las couple of days and in his last fight his boxing was on point he was just out of shape
He was seriously injured. 2 ruptured discs on his neck and the UFC forced the fight on him, he wanted to re-schedule.
Nick was one of the hottest fighters 2011-2013. I got crazy excited hearing he was fighting but my expectations are so crazy low and worried for him
If Tony loses here you gotta move him up to middle weight and give him a chance there. The man’s a legend, let him finish building his legacy
CTE really starts showing years after the damage was done. Tony could never fight again and would still get much worse- guy needs medical and psychological supervision, not more fights at middle weight
Ok if not middleweight can we send him to light heavyweight? His legacies not done and the kid just wants to fight
I see you and I raise you - Tony vs Tom Aspinall
He's a legend but you can't give him a title shot right away. Give him a good test in the division like a Tony vs Derrick Lewis then if he does well we give him tom
Lighten up with the CTE talk, he’s fighting Chiesa
Tony vs Paulo book it Dana
“Building his legacy…” with more brain damage. Cmon man this dude is done
He was a true contender for the title in the lightweight division after his last victory, how’s he done?!
Bro this man hasn’t won a fight IN 5 YEARS and has taken a beating in every one of his last 7 fights. Loved watching the guy do his thing too but seriously, he’s 40 years old and likely facing brain damage. Not sure why my opinion is so far fetched
Bro the kid just wants to fight, let him fight

Oh we’re doing spinning shit?
😂
![gif](giphy|26n6HeKQSSNtPhiik|downsized) Road to the title starts now
Tony forever https://preview.redd.it/s4fbc6pn6e3d1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=710952430a8a1302d9ee61f15cdb609a6f828a46
Still my flair on this subreddit. Ever since the glory days.
Wait what the f? They got rid of the flair??
What was it exactly i can reset it
It was a CSO with a bunch of emojis that only Tony could have come up with. Not sure exactly how it went. I can try and find it. Thank you 🫶
-CSO- 🇺🇸🏆🇲🇽😎 Please and thank you.
It was "ChatCTE 😎&🔪" hes just being shy
This was the saddest chuckle I've had in a while now.
![gif](giphy|3o7btXQ91is32YgWuk)
Tony just hasn't found HIS weight class yet
Tony vs Diaz would have been a great send off for both
Honestly can’t believe Nick Diaz is coming back. Also chiesa I think is a pretty winnable fight for Tony
After watching Luque’s recent fights, I think this fight is going to be a sad watch for both guys.
Man I just want nick and tony to be retired but these are both decent match ups for them. Tony needed not to fight 5 killers in a row.
I don't think it's winnable, i think Chiesa will just lay on top of him. Tony TDD has always been sketchy but his ability to scramble and escape bottom position is gone if he didn't accept it already
Yeah, Chiesa looked absolutely washed against Kevin Holland. I could see him getting some top control though, Tony has lost all ability to defend takedowns
it'll be a "who's going to quit first" fight
If that literally is the winning recipe I’ll take Tony
i meant that for the nick diaz v luque fight actually since they both seemed to kind of give up in their last fights. tony would never quit
Gotcha. CSO!
Tony should have fought Nick Diaz for the CTE belt
This would have been the fight to make. Two brain dead and washed up guys who don't want to be there. Nick would just pull an Anderson Silva and run laps
Facts and lol!
If only Luque hadn't already submitted Chiesa in 2021, I would rather so much to see Ferguson fight Diaz and Luque fight Chiesa. I have a feeling Ferguson and Diaz will both get wrestlefucked by their respective opponents.
Put it at 4am Saudi time for no fucking reason like the UK Dana
The Saudis pay for that >>Fight Night<<. American viewers pay for your >>PPV<<
The uk is not important thats why
There's reasons
If you wanted normal PPV time you should’ve won back in 1776. My ancestors fought so you “blokes” can run on our time ![gif](giphy|Ez01FtPZuFYVa)
I honestly thought this was a meme when he said Nick Diaz edit: then referred to Dern as a "striker"
Labeling Dern as a striker really took me off guard
He doesn't make a big deal out of Nick coming back and just says it in passing.
He fuckin hates Nick that’s why
Stop fucking screaming, what the actual fuck
He’s announcing a Tony Ferguson fight, he has to scream.
**THE REIGNING**
Dana when the intern starts recording ![gif](giphy|5xtDarE6xDVfXhudrVK)
He’s aroused
These Arabs are a blessing for combat sports fans man they get boxings big fights going and force the UFC to put up stacked ass cards over there
It’s their new toy, once they get tired of it they will throw it away like they do with their super/luxury cars. Money means nothing to them even when they lose tens of millions of dollars on a shit boxing match.
https://i.redd.it/wnxl099psd3d1.gif
Vicente is gonna get injured, then we'll get Tony vs Diaz 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Did bro just call Dern a striker? 😭
Same thing I thought. She starts jabbing a couple fights all of a sudden she is among the women strikers such as Joanna and Weili.
This announcement was a rollercoaster
This video was on mute but I can still hear his obnoxious, shouty tough guy voice.
**WHATS UP EVERYONEEE!**
can i get a cliff notes for those of us that don't want to hear his voice
WHY IS HE YELLING?
Is this Tony’s last fight on his contract ?
I don’t know about his contract but I know the last few times Tony fought Dana was hinting that he should retire. I think win or lose against Chiesa, Dana lets him go.
... to bkfc. This dude ain't done causing and receiving damage, unfortunately. And I'm a huge fan.
Pretty great fight night for our Saudi overlords
It's for Abu Dhabi in the UAE
Same desert. Different country
STOCKTON MOTHERFUCKERS
Nick Daiz vs Vincent Luque... wtf like really wtf is that even?
Ezcited for Nick Diaz 🔥
Hold up gotta go reschedule my wedding.
Wow, that's a suprisingly good card
This is a fantastic card for a fight night. Still jaded Corey somehow still has more to prove lol. His contender fight has come and gone
Why is he screaming?
Roids
They missed a trick not doing Sandhagen vs Nurmagomedov Vera vs Figueirado (5 rounds) Ferguson vs Diaz Dern vs Godinez Luque vs Chiesa
Luque is going to hurt Nick. I hate to say it. Whoever sanctioned that fight is cruel
https://i.redd.it/c5e7ih0ewd3d1.gif
Is it loud in there an we just can't hear it
Didn’t Dana say he wanted Tony to retire ? Anyway to make a buck, huh Dana
Tony is gonna get strangled. Thats just sad man. Why is Nick fighting again? Does he need the money?
Chieasa was offered that fight and emphatically replied I’ll take it ! 😂 ![gif](giphy|XatIdQKTrTaXnWAe1n|downsized)
I am wondering the same everytime, why the fuck are you screaming at me Dana????
Why is Dana speaking so quietly? wtf
Total purse for this event is $37.50 fight of the night gets a Burger King coupon.
Tony vs Nick Chiesa vs Luque But in reality, none of these guys should probably fight anymore
Why he yelling at his phone
You clowns need to put some respect on nick Diaz name he had a bad comeback fight don't just count him out
I'm glad Tony will be fighting Chiesa, another guy who hasn't looked great recently and doesn't really pose a knockout threat. I can watch Tony get submitted, just no more head trauma...
Why is Dana screaming? Fuc*ing idiot 🚀
I'm really not interested in watching Nick Diaz fight especially after that Lawler dud.
This guy looks like a talking stress knot
All the hair on my head blew off due to Dana yelling at me through the screen
Douche.
Dana still has no idea how to say Nurmagomedov, guy had to stop and stitch the two videos together
Crazy the guy that runs slap league has no issue parading legends to cte. Fuck Dana.
Dana talking like a YouTube gamer is so annoying.
Was hoping to hear Tony Ferguson vs Shavkat tbh
Im rooting for chito making excuses ass. ![gif](giphy|L2Zzke6v8KVK06I57B|downsized)
I can't wait to never hear this man speak again.
I don’t want to see Nick, Luque, Chiesa, or Ferguson ever fight again. Three of these dudes are cooked and Luque’s brain stuff is reason enough to not fight again.
[удалено]
Wonder how many of these fighters don't actually have a contract signed because they're being offered garbage pay again
i cannot stand the way his mouth moves when he talks lol
Oh no
That was a good highlight reel of ko's and stoppages.
Nick fucking diaz?! God I hope hes ready this time
Really weird card.. Could've done Nick vs Tony, but then Chiesa vs Luque 2 doesn't make Sense.
I can hear you.. Please stahp screaming million dollar bald guy
figgy going on a absolute tear right now
Bruh why is he screaming
dern and active striker in the same sentence.. hmmm
Dern vs Godinez is truly the fight to make. Hopefully the recent WWE merger can contribute to a special rules match (mud wrestling).
Fuckin Tony...
why the fuck did you not do Ferguson vs Diaz and luke vs ciesa
I’m guessing Dana doesn’t watch mma anymore. Dern vs Loopy a striking matchup between the best in the division? 🤔
Why is he yelling?
Hahahaha fuck merab I guess lol
Doesn’t Luque vs Chiesa and Diaz vs Ferguson make more sense? Luque vs Chiesa winner can get a fight around #10, Diaz and Ferguson could double retire. Instead we get to watch ghost of Luque clobber slow and old Diaz, and Chiesa gets back in the win column by submitting Ferguson. Unreal.
Tony "My Wife Loves Me At 170" Ferguson
Why is he yelling?
why bro shouting? chill dude
Tony vs Dias makes more sense.
Why not throw in Lawler on this card too?
My dad talking to his overseas relatives on the phone:
Speak up mate, I can't hear you
He should point out on the map where the next fight will take place
Pretty bad when Dern is described as one of the best strikers in her division.
I’m honestly shocked and sad to see Nick is fighting. I’m a huge fan, but this is clearly just to get a paycheck. After seeing him against Robbie I’m really concerned about his health.
Lol Dern gonna get chinned
Tony Ferguson. UFC beating this dead horse until it’s a fine powder.
Tony vs Nick was RIGHT THERE ! How did that get botched ??
Does this mean Merab isn't getting his chance?
Why they do my boy Frankie like that😭
I think somebody gave him the script in all caps
I feel like you swap the fights so you have Tony v Diaz and Luque v Chiesa it would be perfect.
Boo
![gif](giphy|ymERxTYbAs5QoVIUCL)
Why the fuck is Dana screaming at my face
is this AI or did I just hear Nick Diaz’ name?
Pretty sick for a fight night but wow I didn't expect to hear nick Diaz
Jon Jones will fight Randy "The Natural" Coutoure
Nick vs Tony and luque vs chiesa makes more sense
Did he say Nick fucking Diaz? ![gif](giphy|GcDtLf4RAdiRG)
Is this the retirement home version of TUF?
No Usman or Colby I sleep !!
Meh
Genuinely may not watch Nick and Tony’s fights, i’m tired boss
does Nick still have remaining fights in his contract? Or are these one-offs?
Ohhhhh… I see what you’re doing Dana. Good ish
You had the opportunity to do Nick vs Tony at 170……..you also had the opportunity to just not have them fight again
Nick AND Tony!!! Ufc really don’t care about its fighters! Cmon! We don’t wanna see tony barely speak or walk or worse! Fuck this shit i really love tony and I don’t wanna see him fight
If it ain’t about oil I ain’t watching
Donna please stop screaming at me
this makes no sense but let’s see!!!
Did he just call loopy godinez and mackenzie dern "active strikers"??! They are both exciting to watch but are very much grapplers by definition, which anybodys who'sseen them would know. What a weird things to lie about
Is there a transcript? I couldn’t hear Dana…
The thing about Tony is I don't think it's a "Let me just finish on a win situation." Win is just going to encourage him. Ah well get him one anyway
Nick is back and I'm not even excited 😬
Why did I see a vein about to blow?
Fight night? More like CTE night...
💤
Nothing worth that veiny forhead shouting at me. Dumb
Must be a hell of a payday to get Diaz off the couch.
Wtf is this. They can just make Nick and Tony fight eachother. He already fought Nate. Also, why are these two still fighting tbh. Dern and striker in the same sentence. But yea, all the fights are banger.
Bro Tony , Nick, and Luque. This gonna be in a CTE case study one day
I’m absolutely amazed nicks coming back it’s so fuckin sick dude I can’t wait 😂 he better walk out to deftones
Tony has that gambler mentality "can't end on a loss"
