Khabib Nurmagomedov has had enough of Tony Ferguson’s insults.

While Nurmagomedov is now officially retired, that hasn’t stopped Ferguson from continuing to call him out while insulting him. Of course, the dream fight was called off five times and is likely never happening even if Nurmagomedov were to come back.

That’s because Ferguson is currently on a two-fight losing streak and could see his career come to a crossroads if he loses his upcoming fight with Beneil Dariush at UFC 262.

And Nurmagomedov advised him to focus on that fight while firing back at a recent tweet from the former interim champion:

““Tira?Misu On 2” ? # You’ll SeeMeSoonEnoughBuddy ?? -CSO- ????? # ? Called It. # ConditioningSucks # KeepRunningFathead -Champ ?”

“You have a fight soon, your opponent is very tough and most underestimated in lightweight division, focus on him,” Nurmagomedov responded. “I wish you and your family best, even though you look like a shit.”

Ferguson hasn’t responded as of yet, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he did sooner or later. As a matter of fact, it wouldn’t be surprising if kept calling Nurmgomedov out no matter what his result is against Dariush.

Ferguson vs. Dariush is part of a stacked UFC 262 card which takes place May 15 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The headliner is a vacant lightweight title fight between Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler.

Former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson is making some big changes to his camp after suffering consecutive defeats for the first time in his UFC career.

‘El Cucuy’ was beat up by Justin Gaethje over five rounds at UFC 249 in May 2020. The fan favourite fighter hung tough but ate a lot of shots before the referee mercifully waved off the fight in the final round.

Ferguson was hoping to rebound when he took on Charles Oliveira at UFC 256 in December. The 37-year-old did well to survive a vicious first round armbar attempt but was easily outpointed over 15 minutes.

Ahead of his UFC 262 fight with surging lightweight contender, Beneil Dariush, Ferguson has made big changes to the way he prepares for fights. Most notably, he has linked up with legendary boxing trainer Freddie Roach and explained his reasons for doing this in a lengthy social media post.

“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.”

Another good reason to link up with Roach is to do with the athletes who gravitate towards the renowned trainer. The 61-year-old has trained some of the best boxers of all time but is known to help out some elite-level MMA fighters, including Georges St-Pierre who recently trained with Ferguson at Wild Card Boxing Club.

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.“

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.
