Tony Ferguson Trolls Conor McGregor With “Season’s Beatings”

Tony Ferguson may not have even a potential title unification bout with Conor McGregor on the horizon, but that won’t stop him from trolling the controversial Irish champion online.

Without the fight many fans are calling for, ‘El Cucuy’ is on the sidelines recovering from a recent elbow surgery awaiting McGregor’s prospective return, something that truly may never happen after a $100 million payday to fight Floyd Mayweather in a boxing ring this August.

Ferguson is going to do his best to get ‘The Notorious’ back in Octagon, however, posting a ranting tweet online that featured a GIF of Will Ferrell from “Old School,” in addition to a laughable misspelling of “potato”:

"Happy Holidays My Hooligans" Papi Chulo Cucuy Says #SeasonsBeatings & Happy New New Year! #DefendorVacate Friggen' Potatoe Chip Eatin' McNuggets Dunkin', Paper Champ Dead Beat. It's Sad To See Your Fans W/ Me @Thenotoriousmma #VacateBitch #NoBalls #InGloriousNotorious pic.twitter.com/YcHwmnnAiX

It’s definitely true that “El Cucuy” has spewed a lot of at-times incomprehensible trash talk in the last year or two, but his overall message that McGregor, who hasn’t defended the 155-pound title since winning it versus Eddie Alvarez in November 2016, should either get back in the Octagon or vacate the belt is one that’s been repeatedly voiced by growing numbers of fans. The promotion made his mind up for him in a similar situation by stripping the 145-pound title.

The Irish star may have some of the most jaw-dropping knockout power in MMA history, but his seeming unwillingness to defend a single title has placed his spot among the true pound-for-greats in MMA into serious question.

“El Cucuy” appears ready to climb into that rarified air, yet the fight he needs to do it may not be available anytime soon – no matter how many times he calls out “The Notorious” online.

Few details were made available about the untimely passing, but today (Mon. December 18, 2017) his death has been officially ruled a suicide according to confirmation obtained by MMAjunkie from Colleen Downey, a rep for the Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner.

The report stated Follis died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on State Route 160 in Las Vegas last Friday. No other details were made available.

Over the weekend, a host of several prominent MMA personalities in addition to his friends and family voiced their longtime respect and admiration for Follis, who had made a name for himself as a prominent member of Oregon’s Team Quest, where he was a coach for respected names like Dan Henderson and Randy Couture. He also coached UFC names like Miesha Tate, Kevin Lee, and Brian Caraway at Las Vegas’ Xtreme Couture, a team he recently left after rebuilding it to prominence since relocating there in 2013.

Our hearts go out to Follis’ family, friends, students, and everyone that he impacted during an accomplished career in our sport.

Kevin Lee Says Tony Ferguson Will ‘Beat The Hell’ Out of McGregor

Kevin Lee believes Tony Ferguson will wallop Conor McGregor if they compete in a title unification bout. Right now, McGregor’s future in the sport of mixed martial arts is uncertain. The “Notorious” one is the reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight title holder. Ferguson captured the interim title after submitting Lee back in October. Speaking […]

Kevin Lee Bashes Conor McGregor Over Recent Antics

It seems like everyone has an opinion about UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor’s recent antics and that includes Kevin Lee, who doesn’t think McGregor will have much trouble burning through money like boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. The UFC lightweight fighter has kept his eye on the division’s champion as he has made headlines as of […]

The UFC lightweight fighter has kept his eye on the division’s champion as he has made headlines as of late. Lee thinks the McGregor is “(expletive) up” by blowing through cash and allegedly getting into bar fights with mobbed-up characters.

“You can blow through that quick,” Lee told MMA Junkie. “Ask Floyd Mayweather Floyd did that about six, seven times. If the rumors are true, he better get his (expletive) together,” he said. “Because he’s got a long mountain to climb.”

But all the better for Lee. If McGregor tanks, he’ll be waiting to pick up the pieces.

“He’s got Tony (Ferguson) as soon as he comes back,” said Lee, whose title dreams were dashed by Ferguson (24-3 MMA, 14-1 UFC) less than two months ago at UFC 216. “Tony’s going to beat the hell out of him. As soon as he loses that one, I’m going to beat the hell out of him. And then he’s going to be down in the dirt.”

There are some who believe Lee may never get the chance to fight McGregor in the Octagon. That may be due to the fact that UFC President Dana White went on record this past week to reiterate the possibility that McGregor might never fight again after banking $100 million to fight Mayweather in “The Money Fight.”

“I don’t think he really understands what he’s getting himself, if he’s really messing around with the Irish mob,” Lee said. “I don’t think he’s really from the streets like that. I don’t think he wants none of that smoke.

“But that’s on him. I’m just looking forward to his comeback, and looking forward to taking him out after he gets his ass beat.”

Six Major Reasons Conor McGregor Needs To Defend His Title Right Away

On a day like today named Black Friday in America, where people trample each other to get better deals on Christmas gifts one day after supposedly giving thanks for everything they already have, there’s a far more dark and sinister scene playing out in the mixed martial arts (MMA) world, and that’s the absence of […]

The post Six Major Reasons Conor McGregor Needs To Defend His Title Right Away appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

The UFC lightweight champion has been out of action since winning the title in what seems like forever ago at UFC 205 in November 2016. He spent the most of 2017 chasing and participating in his boxing super-circus with Floyd Mayweather, and while UFC President Dana White likes to say the UFC has never had a better year financially, it was because of a boxing match his biggest star got finished in.

As actual UFC numbers continue to dive, it’s clear that promotional owners Endeavor need him to get back in the Octagon as soon as possible, something that may not be all that easy to pull off given his demands for a promoter’s stake in his next fight.

But finances aside, there are many more ramifications for McGregor’s unnecessary stay on the sidelines, and it’s clearly hurting the fight game by having by far its biggest name without a fight for so long. Let’s take a look at the reasons McGregor needs to defend his 155-pound title now.

He’s Destroying A Potentially Historic Legacy:

This one will most likely be something McGregor doesn’t care about due to his hundreds of millions of dollars, but it has to at least be discussed.

‘The Notorious’ is undoubtedly damaging a legacy that could be up there with the best fighters of all-time if he simply practiced what he preached and defended his title against all comers. Instead, he’s chased ‘money fights’ after winning each belt, fighting in other weight classes and even another sport as he held respective divisions hostage with his antics.

He’s never defended a single title in his entire fight career, and it can be asked what is the point of even having titles if the UFC is going to let him win a belt then put it on the shelf for a year or more afterward. It’s getting old, and even the most fervent ‘Notorious’ supporters are running out of excuses for him, even if they won’t admit it on the Internet.

He could quiet all that by simply defending his title a couple times, but again, he most likely doesn’t care.
