    Tony's Chin is just hanging out there. Im not a fan of Conor as a person but I reckon he'd starch Tony.

    Fergusons Dome is made of concrete.

    JG's best chance is to wreck his legs. He doesnt seem like he can knock him out.

    There was also only 2 seconds left in the round. He should know that too.

    Irrelevant.

    Gaethje needs to be careful here with the pace. Good fight so far.

    Gaethje has listened to his corner and took a bit off it this round but still won it. Saving a bit of juice could end up winning him the fight.

    Superb fight!

    Tony's face looking now his opponent's normally looks at this point of a T-Ferg fight

    Tony using the Rock Balboa school of thought of "it's about how hard you can get hit and keep on going" here.

    Whoever it was what convinced JG to fight tactically and not be a zombie is a ****ing genius.

    A focused in shape mcgregor sleeps tony, man blocks shots with his face his lucky gaethje is only throwing ones.

    This is incredible. If he was fighting anyone else, JG would have won by now. I think JG is ahead here clearly, but I think Tony could easily knock him out late. Loving this.

    Both these guys would cut through Mcgregor like butter.

    I actually think Conor would sleep both because they're just too hitable.

    If Gaethje lands any of the shots he landed tonight against Conor it would be over in the 1st. Diaz wobbled Conor with a jab with virtually no power on it. He wouldn't take 20% of what is being thrown in there right now.

    Where are the people who thought the last fight was a good stoppage?

    This is by far a better candidate.

    Sad to see Tony lose his win streak to an ordinary fighter like Gaethje.
    Taking on somebody completely different to who you spent most of your year preparing for obviously isn't a good idea.

    Gaethje is a ****ing animal.

    Battered Tony from the first bell until the end.

    No wonder McGregor ducked him.

    Khabib vs Gaethje is gonna be straight up fire.

    That was an absolute mauling. Brilliant performance.

    Way too much emphasis from the commentary team about Ferguson's cardio, his chin, the zombie like powers of recovery and not enough about how he was being absolutely tooled up until Round 5.

    That could/would have ended up 50-44 or worse.

    Heart goes out to Tony. Poor fella, where does he go from here.

    Love Gaethje throwing the belt away, especially after Anik was banging on about how he "could forevermore call himself a UFC champion".

    Gaehtje vs Khabib is the fight of all fights at 155.

    Does Mcgregor have a better chin than Ferguson? F*ck no. Does he have better cardio? Nope. His chin would shatter if he took Justins punches and if it went past the second round it would only be a matter of time. Gaethje is an animal.

    Is JG gonna land before mcgregor gets him? doubt it... JG got finished by DP and eddie stop. Easy fight for Mcgregor .

    Didn't look ordinary tonight. That was an absolute hammering! He smashed the #1 contender to pieces.

    If Justin is ordinary, what does that make the man whose soul he just took?

    I think CMac could potentially win.

    But JG is an easy fight for no man. Esp this version. Thats just crazy talk.

    One of the best performances I have ever seen in the octagon. Wow.

    Nah, he'll wait. Feel sorry for Tony as don't think he'll ever get the title fight Vs Khabib or the money fight with McGregor.
