He's nuts man. Amazing performer. SO entertaining. His guard is really good.
I can't believe he went inverted....
Only read the play by play but Im off on a search to find it now!
Great fight! I love the pace he put on Danny and super unpredictable !
Dang that was good. Not sure how Castillo thinks he won. Just because you're laying on top of someone doesnt mean youre winning the fight.
Couldn't agree more. It was old school lay and pray strategy. Tony was super aggressive from the bottom and deserved the win.Quote:

Really happy that 2 of the judges were smart enough to understand he was the only one actually fighting and trying to finish the match. Super classy in his post-fight interview as well. :)
p.s. Not sure how Castillo knows that being dry humped by a strong dude for 15 minutes will make you popular in jail. Shall not speculate on how he got that info. *whistles*
It's nice to see active BJJ in MMA. I hate inactive guards, lay n pray, ect... The fight was nice to see.
Love that he went for that Imanari roll btw
I loved it. So glad the judges didn't fall for the okey doke (well 2 of them at least). Tony was trying to cause damage and finish the fight, and Castillo got his wet blanket on.
I didn't understand what Ferguson was trying to do with the marce, and hopefully Eddie asks him on a podcast or something. Instead of trying to walk into Castillo to drop him onto his side for the finish, it looked like Ferguson was just pinching the far arm between his legs and staying flat on his back. That set up from standing was awesome. Ferguson is one of my favorite fighters to watch.
It looked like every time they were on the feet Fergsuon was winning those exchanges also.
The crazy thing is that he already went for the Imanari roll in his previous fight (vs Katsunori Kikuno) but didn't get as far as with Castillo, as his opponent was already back-pedalling (Tony Ferguson vs. Katsunori Kikuno @ 3:55).
