At UFC 238, Tony Ferguson can become the lightweight GOAT

[FlowchartRog]

He can become shit. Stop this bullshit, he never become champ. Until now, he is only a good fighter and nothing more.

You're a good poster Andreh, but Ferguson is a hell of a lot more than a "good fighter". A "good fighter and nothing more" is someone like Cowboy or Laquinta. Tony is several levels above them, and a clear cut above every other 155 pounder not named Kebab.

In MMA think about how hard it is to put together a 12 win streak, and it's not like Tony has been protected and fought scrubs.

Tony is one of the most unique fighters ever, in this polished era of MMA, his weird borderline amateurish style should not even work, but somehow it does. His combination of reach, unpredictable striking, excellent grappling, intensity and incredible toughness, savagery and cardio makes him very very hard to beat.

People easily forget that Tony had his chances to pick a title fight and he didn't do it. He is a good fighter, don't get me wrong, but always when he gets a chance, he flees. And then start whining, like his fans nowadays, who are used to forget things. I don't support a fighter like that, a real good fighter don't flee from the battle, he gets it and wins, simple. He only proved that he didn't have the courage to be a champ, he prefers to whine behind the bushes.

But, to be honest, this Cerrone fight proved a lot. To me, he doesn't stand a chance against Khabib. Maybe a tricky submission, but that's it, Ferguson will go to the ground and be mauled there.

He’s greater than khabib
Finishing Tibau in a round>Decision win
Pettis >McGregor(pettis has way more wins at lightweight)
Barboza =barboza
Trujillo =Trujillo
2016RDA>2014RdA
Kevin Lee>one day notice AL, AL only had one day making this gatekeeper win weaker for khabib
Thompson >Healy
Castillo<Johnson
Lando is another win for Ferguson
Yves Edwards>Tavares and everyone else on Khabibs resume

Ferguson is barely scraped by Castillo.

Ferg has to beat Khabib to lay claim to LW GOAT.

Khabib has to beat Ferg to lay claim to LW GOAT.

Hopefully they both win their next fights and we finally get to see that fight.
