Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted March 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 2, 2021 I hope he can make a full recovery and if healthy enough get back into it, but I'm not surprised he caught it to begin with. Before it wss initially announced he got Covid his social media was full of videos/pictures of him out and about in various places meeting randoms, posing for pictures and the like without a mask ever being spotted. There was so much of it. Unbelievably stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 2, 2021 there was a video shared about a few weeks ago of him in a gym destroying a heavy bag, not sure if it was an old video being re-shared though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2021 UK MMA/UFC ref Neil Hall died yesterday đŁ shitty news. I recall Hall making a real funny diving save/stoppage at some point in the UFC but i cant for the life of me remember what fight it was in.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 11, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 11, 2021 nah, not one. Im sure he was late getting in and sort of dived through the two fighters and did a bit of a roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great fight that is. Dariush has earned this step up to a high profile fight, and it'll tell us how relevant Tony still is, if he can avoid going 0-3 and halts a surging, underrated, Dariush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Pre Gaethje, I think all of us would have bet the house on Ferguson easily handling Dariush. Now though, Im not so sure. Its definitely a great fight to see where Tony stands in terms of championship contender. Two years ago, Ferguson had just destroyed Cerrone, was on a 12 fight winning streak, and was considered THE guy most likely to beat Khabib. Fast foward to now, the Khabib fight never even happened, and people are not truely confident he can beat Dariush. Crazy how quickly things can change. Perhaps unfairly, but I get Anthony Pettis/Weidman/Condit vibes with Tony now, where the aura has been shattered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 13, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2021 I think even during Fergusonâs streak, Dariush is one of the few who mightâve given him issues due to his grappling. I think heâd have been able to hang with Ferguson on the ground and maybe even get the better of it. Wouldâve been fun whenever it happened but yeah, nobody wouldâve picked him to win back then. The perception has definitely shifted where Ferguson is concerned. To the point where itâs probably going too far in the other direction for me now and youâll see people talking like he canât beat anyone in the division anymore and was never any good. Load of wank. He always had his flaws but you donât go on a run like he did, for as long as he did, and beat the guys he did, by accident or fluke. I think what weâre seeing now is just a result of all those wars and hard fights catching up to him. I donât think heâs completely shot by any means. Weâve got to remember it was Gaethje and Oliveira who beat him, and both were on top form. But like you say, that aura has definitely taken a battering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
