It appears Manny Pacquiao no longer wants to share the ring with Conor McGregor. Before his rematch with Dustin Poirier back in January, McGregor was adamant about boxing Pacquiao. The “Notorious” one even went as far as to claim that he would box “PacMan” in the Middle East. That didn’t end up happening. Instead, McGregor […]

Tony Ferguson is looking to get back to his dominant ways in the UFC Lightweight division. Subsequently, Ferguson has decided to add legendary boxing coach Freddie Roach into his corner after realising he needed to make a change.
Tony Ferguson used to be a powerful force in the UFC Lightweight division. However, back-to-back defeats to Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira has certainly put El Cucuy’s title aspirations on hold. In true Ferguson fashion, the 37-year-old took to social media to shed light on some of his grievances. Rather interestingly, Ferguson points to flagrant errors from his cornermen and training partners. “When A Corner Of Mine Wouldn’t Work On Simple Slip Drills I Knew I Had To Make Changes. When A Cornerman Forgot Water During The Round Mid Fight I Knew I Had To Make Changes.“
CoachArmandAnthony” I Used To Not Get Hit. Then I Changed Things Up A Bit. Had -2- Figure It Out After Getting Hit More And More Each Fight. Decided Not To Take Anymore Unnecessary Damage Made The Mandatory Changes Promised My Faith/Family/Friends I Would Not Take Damage Like The Last Few Fights When A Corner Of Mine Wouldn’t Work On Simple Slip Drills I Knew I Had To Make Changes. When A Cornerman Forgot Water During The Round Mid Fight I Knew I Had To Make Changes.”
“When I Got Sick and Tired Of Being Sick and Tired, I Did Something About It, Quit Bitchin’ & Went To Work. Lots Of Cool Things Coming Up,.. Been Working Hard. Ferguson Seriously. Check It Out Crew If Looking At Someone’s IG Makes You Envious or Jealous (Instead Of Being Happy For Them), Stop Drop And Gimme Push-ups. It’s Better To Be Sore Than A Sore-Loser. Champ Shit Only Love you My Son ArmandAnthony, My Best Friend. Thanks For Running Practice Fergalish w/ The Comida Assist, Thanks Mamacita.”
Freddie Roach is a legend in his own right. Considered one of the greatest boxing trainers of all time, Tony Ferguson has certainly turned to the right man for assistance to get him out of this unprecedented rut in his career.
Ferguson’s next fight is against Beneil Dariush on May 15th at UFC 262. Roach certainly has a very limited amount of time to implement his wisdom then.
Do you think Tony Ferguson will bounce back with a win against Beneil Dariush?
A staple of the UFC’s lightweight roster, Tony Ferguson is ever looking to improve his game. Despite being one of the greatest lightweights currently on the planet, Ferguson is now riding a two-fight skid.

A staple of the UFC’s lightweight roster, Tony Ferguson is ever looking to improve his game. Despite being one of the greatest lightweights currently on the planet, Ferguson is now riding a two-fight skid. He most recently picked up a loss to Jiu-jitsu ace Charles Olivera, who outwrestled ‘El Cucuy’ over a dominant three rounds. Ferguson also picked up a TKO loss to Justin Gaethje.
However, he is now looking too right his trajectory, and mount another charge at the 155lb title. To further aid him in this endeavour, Ferguson has enlisted the aid of a member of boxing royalty. ‘El Cucuy’ has begun training with Freddie Roach, who is the long time coach of elite boxer Manny Pacquaio. In a recent Twitter post, Roach tweeted “Great first day, Champ.” This was partnered with an image of Roach and Ferguson together in front of a boxing ring.
Tony Ferguson forced his way to an interim title shot in 2020, by riding an impressive twelve-fight win streak. This streak included victories over some of the 155lb elite. Kevin Lee, Donald Cerrone, Anthony Pettis and Edson Barboza all fell prey to the wrath of El Cucuy. However, it did appear that Ferguson was unable to match Gaethje’s striking prowess when they fought. This may be why Ferguson saw fit to begin training with one of the greatest boxing coaches of all time.
Roach’s other star pupil, Manny Paquaio has been heavily linked with a fight against one of Ferguson’s fellow UFC lightweights, Conor McGregor. McGregor had previously stated that he was set to use his matchup with Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 as a warm up for a fight against Paquaio. However, since being finished by Poirer, McGregor appears focused on returining for a trilogy bout against ‘The Diamond.’

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao put on the biggest boxing event in history back in 2015.
However, it looks like, if Freddie Roach had anything to say about it, the fight would’ve never happened. Prior to the contest, Pacquiao was dealing with a shoulder injury. Both Pacquiao and Mayweather apparently came to an agreement that each man could use painkillers, as “Money” was having issues with his hands.
Unfortunately, the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) wouldn’t allow Pacquiao to do so because he failed to report his shoulder injury on pre-fight medical documents. Roach told The Dan Patrick he tried to get the fight canceled, but was unsuccessful (via Boxing Scene):
“I didn’t try to stop that fight until I found out that the injury was that bad…. that the injury on his shoulder would need surgery to fix.
“So we were going to go into the fight with a bad shoulder, so we had an agreement that Mayweather could shoot his hands up, which he does
Roach then claimed Pacquiao was not allowed to use it on fight night while Mayweather was:
“But on the night of the fight, he was allowed to use it and we weren’t,” Roach said. “Yes, [Mayweather’s camp knew about the shoulder injury]. There was a lot of money at stake. I still feel bad about letting that fight go, but I wasn’t powerful enough to stop that fight from happening.
“There were big promoters and so much money. The payday was tremendous. But I don’t do this just for the money, I do it for the love of the sport. I didn’t think Pacquiao was capable of fighting his best fight one-handed.”
Mayweather would go on to keep his undefeated streak alive, winning the bout via unanimous decision. For the past few years, talk of a rematch has circulated the boxing world, but nothing official has been made just yet.

Despite his best efforts to try and make it happen, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley concedes that a fight with Georges St-Pierre just isn’t going to happen.
Woodley currently reigns as the undisputed champion of the UFC’s 170-pound division. However, with 170-pound great Georges St-Pierre now back in the mix, Woodley would love to test himself against the future Hall Of Famer. “T-Wood” has tried to get the potential fight going several times, but it doesn’t seem like anything will be coming to fruition.
Especially after speaking to one of GSP’s coaches, legendary boxing coach Freddie Roach, Woodley has pretty much accepted he won’t be sharing the Octagon with “GSP” (via ESPN):
“I was talking to Freddie, and it’s just not gonna happen,” Woodley said. “We’re not gonna fight. It would be great to see. I think the fans would like to see the pound for pound best welterweight in the history of the sport at that current time to fight the one that’s saying he’s the GOAT right now.
“I think it’d be a great fight. But I’m not getting my hopes up. I’ve got one kid in front of me that’s coming up March 2nd. So I’m gonna focus on that.”
Now, Woodley is focusing on what’s directly in front of him. That being his upcoming title defense against Kamaru Usman. They’ll co-main event UFC 235 on pay-per-view (PPV) from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 2, 2019.
