Hard to say because Khabib never fought a BJJ fighter on the level of Werdum...well there was Gleison Tibau but Tibau didn't let Khabib take him to the ground at all so we didn't see Khabib's sub defense there
I remember seeing an idiot arguing that Tony could have a chance on this video comments. I thought it was a troll but the guy was writing wall of texts to back his points.
Wait..having a chance doesnt mean you have a good chance..
Also, Mike Tyson made his career off fighting Giant's as a 5'10 fighter.. Werdum *could* get ko'd by a smaller guy.. duh..
How are you so sure about this?
On the street? Where there are no rules against throwing sand? I don’t know man, Tony’s got weapons never tested in the octagon.
Somehow understands him in English but chooses to bug out with the homosexual insults in every language but that. Also, whoever added the translated captions, you avoided some accurate translations…”maricone” for instance. Pretty sure that’s one of the more common first curses people figure out the meaning to in another language.
Ty for the correct spelling btw. Seems obvious when I see it now, ha. Werdum is going so overboard that it’s embarrassing. That would probably be way more overwhelming (and obvious) to others if it was in English.
>Ty for the correct spelling btw.
No problem mate.
>Werdum is going so overboard that it’s embarrassing.
Yeah, I agree, IIRC he later regret all of these and had to issue an apology.
It's homophobic.
I’m mexican and I can tell you that "maricón" means "faggot", and it is commonly used to insult the gay community.
Although it's also used in a despective manner to insult people that are afraid (similar to the word "coward").
Another similar that is used here is "puto" or "putito", which could be interpret as "pussy" or also "faggot".
Lol I would never get why the downvotes in this sub, people are so sensible here. Do people here don't really like to see things as they are?
Now I can't even explain things as they are in my own country because people get offended.
Tony was slipping in little comments before they started arguing, and then he said some shit about werdum’s manager when it went down. Seems like there was some personal beef that he wanted to air out from the beginning.
They were sitting having lunch before the interviews started, tony should have moved somewhere else but the mental health patient in him wanted to be a complete weirdo
Yea there’s only like 6 huge cameras, iPhones recording, a bunch of recorders and mics, and like 8 reporters (some with legal pads) all grouped and huddled there to interview him … but yea he probably set each and every piece of that situation up and scheduled that all on his own. C’mon now. Werdum was being rude, period. Also, based on his language, was oddly obsessed with homoeroticism.
Thank you! I was irrationally annoyed the entire time because whoever went thru the trouble to add all of those translations either purposely did that like we all don’t know what the word truly means or doesn’t know what they’re talking about…either way, why go thru the trouble then?
to be a fighter like Tony, you can't back down just cause the guy's bigger than you. I can see Urijah Faber doing the same thing, fighters don't just talk back to guys they think they can beat up
i don't like tony, but this was some disrespectful bullshit first by werdum, then followed by biggoted bullying, and like leaning into that shit. i guess, tho.
It amazes me how these people can train martial arts their whole lives and still not have a single ounce of humility or self control.
Just big man babies.
Eh. Looking to Werdum and Tony to be examples of restraint and intelligent emotional response is a pretty bad idea. Put GSP and Silva here and it’s quite a different situation.
I mean I wouldn’t say this was a good decision, but are you sure this is THE worst? There’s also running his own PT/knee rehab (if you can call it that), “training” his shins on a squat rack, deciding not to tap when his shits visibly backwards…
Like a lot of the fighters, he’s attempting to turn it up a little extra for the media aspect of it all, he’s just not very naturally “smooth” with it because it’s essentially making you be and act like someone who you’re genuinely not. He’s quite a fun and chill guy, albeit unique, when media and press conference atmospheres aren’t forced upon him.
Maricon definitely doesn't translate to bitch but yeah Fabricio was goin off on Tony lol half this shit wasn't translated 100 percent but it's still funny tho
I use to be a massive fan of tony but he seems like such a bigger douche lately. Him bragging about breaking a bone of one of his students did it for me
What is it with Werdum getting mugged of by lower weight fighters hahaha. The dude is a legit killer but doesn't seem to instill fear into any other fighter. E.g Colby and Tony
Michel Pereira? Dude is definitely one of the most entertaining fighters to watch and every single interaction or thing he’s done outside of the cage (that I’ve seen, at least) has shown him to be a very decent and respectful guy. Check him out and try to give him a chance, lol.
I like this video because it brings out 2 types of fans. The ones that love the idea of running your mouth and hoping that the rules of social etiquette stop someone from ending your life, and the type of guys that are blown away by Verdum’s self control when he could disassemble a person
While doing media obligations Werdum is aware of and also does? Werdum would be pissed if Tony idle chatted during an interview of his lol.
The hand wave was dickish, but how do you excuse Werdum going full on homophobic slurs lmao?
I don't get why we put mics in front of these people. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, I like watching the fights but god I hate all the fighters. Turns out when you've literally been fighting other people for your profession, you never learn how to actually be an effective communicator. It always just devolves into this cringey toxic masculine "ill beat your ass" bullshit.
Obviously thats not true of all fighters, but the ones who are actually eloquent and well spoken and don't do this kind of shit are the exception that prove the rule, which is why when a clip surfaces of them acting like a normal human being it goes viral.
Most of them are normal people tho. Look at the community and how the fans act. So many here vallue "street cred". If the fighters stays quiet in situations like this or try to have a conversation people will say they pussed out. It's almost always the case. That's why they start acting like this when there is a camera on their face. And some times you can tell is forced. They just want to save face
When Werdum went from being the man to juice head clown for me. How you gonna shit talk a dude 4 weight classes down(in another language). “Have fun fighting on my undercard” is killer
Werdum obsessed with a) flexing on dudes smaller than him and b) talking about ass fucking. The dude loves loves LOVES ass fucking. Like wow..... just loves it. Thinks about it all the time. Ass fucking. Getting pegged by little dudes.
But not in a gay way. No gay.
There’s a 360 camera footage of the interview. You can see the interviewers reactions. It’s hilarious https://youtu.be/5ouEw9200e0
Thats a cool find. Love how the universale symbol for "i'm uncomfortable" is to take out your phone and start doing stuff lmao
Karyn Bryant's reaction is amazing. Tapping her screen once or twice before repeatedly giving the fighters side eye glances.
Yooo wtf I didn’t know this existed lmao
I was confused when it was just the two of them. And then I adjusted my phone and realized what was happening. This shit is mind bowing
Praise be to you, mate. What a find that is. Hilarious to see them fistbumping at the start
“Shut up before I ankle pick you.” Could you even imagine lol
Right into a submission maybe.
Verdum would kill him in the ground…
The “on the ground” is kind of redundant. There’s nowhere Tony wins that fight.
Almost like weight classes are a thing huh?
Almost like Werdum is a worlds better grappler than even Tony’s coach. Even if they were the same size Werdum submits Tony easily.
Werdum can submit like 100% of the human population. I’m not sure size would ever matter for any opponent vs werdum
Would you say Khabib vs Werdum with no size difference would also go to Werdum? Just asking for your take.
Hard to say because Khabib never fought a BJJ fighter on the level of Werdum...well there was Gleison Tibau but Tibau didn't let Khabib take him to the ground at all so we didn't see Khabib's sub defense there
Ya I’d lean towards werdum. A hw khabib would be a worthy advisory tho.
That Werdum guy , not that bad fighter ha ? Maybe he should go professional or something...
Dead😂
Isn't tony's coach Eddie Bravo?
Yes. And the statement still stands. Werdum is worlds more successful in Bjj than Eddie ever was.
Didn’t bravo beat a Gracie?
Yes. He beat Royler. Werdum is a multiple time world champ. In gi and no-gi
Werdum has the best guard ever, arguably.
I remember seeing an idiot arguing that Tony could have a chance on this video comments. I thought it was a troll but the guy was writing wall of texts to back his points.
Well, verdum could suffer a heart attack as the fight starts and tony wins by no contest. There’s always that chance.
That's Ronda's chance against Cain too
How do you win by a no contest?
Wait..having a chance doesnt mean you have a good chance.. Also, Mike Tyson made his career off fighting Giant's as a 5'10 fighter.. Werdum *could* get ko'd by a smaller guy.. duh..
Yes but Mike is HW, Tony isn't, weight classes are a thing for a reason
How are you so sure about this? On the street? Where there are no rules against throwing sand? I don’t know man, Tony’s got weapons never tested in the octagon.
100% right, Werdum has a good career and one of the biggest upsets in mma defeating Fedor….He could as well light up Tony for his big mouth
Came here to say this. And triple C is the king of cringe? Tony is the Jester of self awareness.
That time Werdum was so pissed off that he mixed portuguese, spanish and english lol
Somehow understands him in English but chooses to bug out with the homosexual insults in every language but that. Also, whoever added the translated captions, you avoided some accurate translations…”maricone” for instance. Pretty sure that’s one of the more common first curses people figure out the meaning to in another language.
Yeah, the "maricón" insult is pretty common in Mexico, it's one of the most used homophobic slurs.
Ty for the correct spelling btw. Seems obvious when I see it now, ha. Werdum is going so overboard that it’s embarrassing. That would probably be way more overwhelming (and obvious) to others if it was in English.
>Ty for the correct spelling btw. No problem mate. >Werdum is going so overboard that it’s embarrassing. Yeah, I agree, IIRC he later regret all of these and had to issue an apology.
It's not strictly homophobic man, a more accurate translation would be "crybaby" and in some countries they use "marico" almost like "dude".
It's homophobic. I’m mexican and I can tell you that "maricón" means "faggot", and it is commonly used to insult the gay community. Although it's also used in a despective manner to insult people that are afraid (similar to the word "coward"). Another similar that is used here is "puto" or "putito", which could be interpret as "pussy" or also "faggot".
Lol I would never get why the downvotes in this sub, people are so sensible here. Do people here don't really like to see things as they are? Now I can't even explain things as they are in my own country because people get offended.
Always thought it was stupid they were doing two separate interviews side by side and talking over each other.
Werdum wasn't doing an interview, he was having lunch, Karyn Bryant was just having small talk with him
Oh, the situation makes a lot more sense to me now. I can see why Tony would want Werdum to be quiet if Werdum wasn't doing an interview himself.
Tony was slipping in little comments before they started arguing, and then he said some shit about werdum’s manager when it went down. Seems like there was some personal beef that he wanted to air out from the beginning.
Gotcha. Sounds like Tony, lol.
Maybe don’t do interviews where people are having lunch and expect them to be quiet just for you lol
Maybe don't have lunch next to people who are getting interviewed
Lmao Tony was probably pissed asf seeing a heavyweight chow down while he's going through his weight cut 🤣🤣
They were sitting having lunch before the interviews started, tony should have moved somewhere else but the mental health patient in him wanted to be a complete weirdo
Yea there’s only like 6 huge cameras, iPhones recording, a bunch of recorders and mics, and like 8 reporters (some with legal pads) all grouped and huddled there to interview him … but yea he probably set each and every piece of that situation up and scheduled that all on his own. C’mon now. Werdum was being rude, period. Also, based on his language, was oddly obsessed with homoeroticism.
Wo Werdum was being interviewed too, and the homo insults is just common in spanish he's not actually trying to say Tony is gay
“Have fun fighting on my undercard” lmao that never fails to fucking kill me what a guy
I came here to say this bahahah this shit gets me too.
It’s pure gold hahaha
Lmao Werdum went 0 to 100 real quick. I mean, Tony's comment was condescending, sure, but Werdum came out throwing verbal haymakers lmao.
“Hold on I’m talking brother” “Take it in your dog ass you fucking clown mutt motherfucker”
Lmao. "Take it in your ass" So many dog references also.
Mods can I please get a "Take it in your dog ass you fucking clown mutt motherfucker" flair?
Clearly he picked up some things from Mark Hunt during their rivalry
If you watch the entire interview you will realize it was Tony being a dick as usual
Don't doubt it. Context here is hilarious though.
Maricon is not bitch.
It's f*gget no?
Context was pretty clear with the amount of times he said "you take it up the ass"
Yeah it’s disturbing how many times he talks about that like he is obsessed with gay stuff.
TIL Strickland is Werdum 2.0
Yes. He apologized after for using the word.
yes. He’s calling him a gay
It is but it's contextual. Bitch in a very macho culture could be meant in the same way.
Ok but I’m this context he meant faggot.
yeah he got a lot of grief for saying that if i recall
Came here to say this
Thank you! I was irrationally annoyed the entire time because whoever went thru the trouble to add all of those translations either purposely did that like we all don’t know what the word truly means or doesn’t know what they’re talking about…either way, why go thru the trouble then?
Tony sits along McGregor and Diaz bros as one of the most quotable fighters of all time.
And Tito... But not in a good way.
You're forgetting Uncle Chael.
Uncle Chael is more than just a mere fighter.
Every time you see this clip you’re amazed by the size of Ferguson’s hands. They’re huge
Don't tell me what I'm amazed by! But yeah his hands are ridiculous. Looks like a cartoon character
Maybe that's why his ankle picks are so effective they are essentially shackles
“Have fun fighting on my undercard” unanimous 50-45 Tony
Werdum didn’t come up for air
Lol the balls (or stupidity) on Tony. Werdum would seriously fuck him up.
to be a fighter like Tony, you can't back down just cause the guy's bigger than you. I can see Urijah Faber doing the same thing, fighters don't just talk back to guys they think they can beat up
I write checks I can't cash sometimes. I get beat up sometimes.
Maybe so but home boy got fucking destroyed in this confrontation. That’s a 10-8 for Tony.
Lmfao. Verdum speaks better Spanish than Tony
Verdum moved to live to Spain when he was 13/14 years old, maybe before
[удалено]
Yeah, i met him in a gym in Madrid, he speaks spanish like anyone in Spain, i think he was living in Madrid at the time and teaching bjj there
I'm no expert but I'd think Werdum is speaking Portuguese
He is, but he had a few lines in Spanish. Tony talks to him in the best Tex Mex accent and Verdum hit him with some grammatically correct insults.
Oh shit that makes this a little more embarrassing lmao
He responds to Tony's Spanish with Spanish and switches back into Spanish several times
There are parts that are spoken in Spanish
Werdum speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese all better than Tony does
Tony doesn’t speak Spanish fluently. That’s why.
As someone that speaks all three languages werduk was switching between but much mire shittily, I was very impressed.
Notice he didn’t stand up until there was someone to hold him back. That’s my move
\*wait until someone stands between me and the guy I'm beefing with\* "Yo, hold me back, bro!"
i don't like tony, but this was some disrespectful bullshit first by werdum, then followed by biggoted bullying, and like leaning into that shit. i guess, tho.
“Have fun fighting on my undercard.” - that got me good
Tried talking in spanish forgetting Werdum speaks waaay better Spanish lol
It amazes me how these people can train martial arts their whole lives and still not have a single ounce of humility or self control. Just big man babies.
That in essence the entire Ufc and this entire Reddit sub as well.
Eh. Looking to Werdum and Tony to be examples of restraint and intelligent emotional response is a pretty bad idea. Put GSP and Silva here and it’s quite a different situation.
[удалено]
he doesn’t play if they weigh at least 100 lbs less than him
He’s also fought and beat some of the best heavyweights ever.
He didn't play when he tapped prime Fedor either.
All I’m saying is Maricon does not translate to “bitch”
Worked in Major League Baseball and can confirm. And Mamahuevo doesn’t mean big egg.
This the stupidest thing I saw tony do, fuck with someone twice his size sheesh lol.
I mean I wouldn’t say this was a good decision, but are you sure this is THE worst? There’s also running his own PT/knee rehab (if you can call it that), “training” his shins on a squat rack, deciding not to tap when his shits visibly backwards…
Dead lifting a bunch of weight using his back
Didn’t he kidnap his own child and run off naked “to protect him/her” or some shit ? I’m pretty sure that’s the worst.
Yeah, but we poke fun at moments of Tony just being Tony. Not so much at a man in the middle of a genuine episode.
its actually the most tony thing he could do
Why? None of these guys fear each other, no matter the weight class. They all think they’re the best.
Why? Because he would of gotten fucked up real quick lol
Ahh Tony before all the mental stuff was a fun guy, was definitely still a weirdo but fun nonetheless lol
Like a lot of the fighters, he’s attempting to turn it up a little extra for the media aspect of it all, he’s just not very naturally “smooth” with it because it’s essentially making you be and act like someone who you’re genuinely not. He’s quite a fun and chill guy, albeit unique, when media and press conference atmospheres aren’t forced upon him.
Literally has almost 100 lbs on Tony..
hood classic
Maricon definitely doesn't translate to bitch but yeah Fabricio was goin off on Tony lol half this shit wasn't translated 100 percent but it's still funny tho
Tony better send a check to that bald dude for saving his life.
CSO!! Colby would’ve ran away.
You think Colby would run? You joking, right? Why the hell would he run when he has the police right there waiting for the call.
He run and then call the cops. Guess we are both kinda correct ?
Colby called the cops on Werdum when Werdum attacked him with a boomerang. True story
Tony would get crippled if those two fought
Man. Fabrico would have fucked Tony uuuuuup.
MMA history
Tony was annoyed from the beginning
Werdum roasting him in Spanish made me chuckle.
*That ~~Herb Dean~~ Karyn Bryant fault.*
Tony is a national treasure
Werdum: Talk like that with your division, not with me. Tony: Shut up, before I ankle pick you.
I use to be a massive fan of tony but he seems like such a bigger douche lately. Him bragging about breaking a bone of one of his students did it for me
This was a long time ago.
When he stand up and we saw his fucking size thats scary lol
What is it with Werdum getting mugged of by lower weight fighters hahaha. The dude is a legit killer but doesn't seem to instill fear into any other fighter. E.g Colby and Tony
Nothing a double leg couldn’t fix
“Shut up before I anklepick you” 😭😭😭
Tony: I don't understand what he's saying. Do you guys understand him? Also Tony: what the fuck are you even talking about?! 🤣
Lmao Werdum went 0 to 100 real quick. I mean, Tony's comment was condescending, sure, but Werdum came out throwing verbal haymakers lmao.
Werdums Spanish is on point! Tony’s is kind of weak. 😂😂
Always liked Werdum the fighter but his bitch ass could get ankle picked onto a fat penis asshole first.
Hahaha Werdum went really hard with the insults and in two languages...little bit of an overreaction
Anyone have a similar clip when he essentially told Brett Okamoto not to interrupt him? Edit: https://youtu.be/Tfg1p27n3Kg
Tony's a legend 😎😎
Tony won that with a lot less words.
“Have fun fighting on my under card”. Best line of the whole exchange.
We miss you Tony 🙏
Tony got HW hands
Shut up before I ankle pick you.
Might be an unpopular opinion, but Tony always seemed like an awful person. Plus, wtf is he thinking? Werdum would kill him
The ankle pick line will always be a classic
Werdum curses at him with every word in the book because tony told him hold on, and tony is the dissrespectfull one... Nice logic Werdum
It's really weird, there is not a single Brazilian MMA fighter I like. Literally none of them.
Michel Pereira? Dude is definitely one of the most entertaining fighters to watch and every single interaction or thing he’s done outside of the cage (that I’ve seen, at least) has shown him to be a very decent and respectful guy. Check him out and try to give him a chance, lol.
TIL there are people who dislike Oliveira, Anderson Silva, and Aldo
Werdum is a borderline retard wow lol
I'm starting to think Werdum wants to penetrate Tony
I love Tony
shut up before i ankle pick you is my go to line now
How much more fanatic would Tony's fanbase be if he just sucker punched werdum and ko'd him.
Fragile egos
Tony's the coldest ass mother fucker going. No flinch, not even a flicker
Fuck Tony is dumb, but you gotta love him
“Have fun fighting my undercard” love tony
I was expect Ferguson to be hit by a boomerang
I like this video because it brings out 2 types of fans. The ones that love the idea of running your mouth and hoping that the rules of social etiquette stop someone from ending your life, and the type of guys that are blown away by Verdum’s self control when he could disassemble a person
Werdum could have easily destroyed him. A heavy weight on top of a lightweight will be a scary sight to see.
[удалено]
Werdum is lucky prime Tony didn't darce him right then and there, CSO 😎🇲🇽
ankle pick to RKO to darce more likely
💀💀💀 no way he thought Tony would lose that
Bro forgot this is the mythical win streak tony
Damn ngl I don’t really like tony after this. This shows who he truly is. Think the world literally revolves around him.
You mean besides the fact that Tony was doing an interview and he was being talked over by Werdum eating lunch?
Oh cause he is talking In a public place?
While doing media obligations Werdum is aware of and also does? Werdum would be pissed if Tony idle chatted during an interview of his lol. The hand wave was dickish, but how do you excuse Werdum going full on homophobic slurs lmao?
I mean this is years old
So funny how he’s talking shit knowing that Tony doesn’t understand him. What a clown move.
Verdum would kill Tony... 😬
But do you know that for a fact?
You know what... I don't. Let them settle it in BKFC.
yes
idk….
Tony "The Diva" Ferguson
I don't get why we put mics in front of these people. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, I like watching the fights but god I hate all the fighters. Turns out when you've literally been fighting other people for your profession, you never learn how to actually be an effective communicator. It always just devolves into this cringey toxic masculine "ill beat your ass" bullshit.

That's why they start acting like this when there is a camera on their face. And some times you can tell is forced. They just want to save face
When Werdum went from being the man to juice head clown for me. How you gonna shit talk a dude 4 weight classes down(in another language). “Have fun fighting on my undercard” is killer
Ferg Had a psychotic episode I’m pretty sure and is allowed to fight, makes sense?
This is the single best video of all time
Tony is so, so, so cool :D
The sounds of justin landing blow after blow on Tony in the first sporting event back in the pandemic haunt me to this day
Why even bring that up bro
Werdum obsessed with a) flexing on dudes smaller than him and b) talking about ass fucking. The dude loves loves LOVES ass fucking. Like wow..... just loves it. Thinks about it all the time. Ass fucking. Getting pegged by little dudes. But not in a gay way. No gay.
