Former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson has seemingly called out UFC fan favourite Nate Diaz.

On Wednesday, Diaz also issued a call out on social media. The 35-year-old was targeting a fight with Dustin Poirier who is fresh off the biggest win of his career. ‘The Diamond’ avenged his UFC 178 loss to Conor McGregor in emphatic fashion on January 23.

Diaz initially took to Twitter to address his fighting future, he wrote.

“NDA (Nick Diaz Academy) soldier 170 lbs Come get you some of the real.”

Diaz quickly bailed on his commitment to the welterweight division with a second post directed at Poirier.

“These are fighting words tho So fuck a weight class,” Diaz wrote alongside a video of Poirier talking from a hospital bed.

Ferguson was quick to respond and took shots at Diaz for b*tching out and offering to fight him at either welterweight or lightweight.

“All You Do Is Bitch Out,” Ferguson wrote. “You Don’t Want No Squabbles From A Real Fighter. 170lbs or 155lbs… SitDown & STFU Casual.”

‘El Cucuy’ is looking to bounce back from a tough 2020. The 36-year-old firstly missed out on a shot at undisputed lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He instead fought Justin Gaethje for the interim belt. ‘The Highlight’ dominated the fight from start to finish. He ultimately forced the TKO stoppage in the fifth and final round.

Ferguson later squared off against Charles Oliveira at UFC 256. The Brazilian used his grappling to dominate Ferguson on the mat for three rounds and pick up a decision win.

Diaz hasn’t fought since falling short in his bid to become the inaugural BMF titleholder at UFC 244 in 2019. In recent weeks he has been strongly linked to a comeback and now it seems of matter of who will be his opponent. Perhaps it will be Tony Ferguson. I’m sure fight fans will love to see it!

Gaethje & Khabib Are In Agreement About Tony Ferguson’s Future

Justin Gaethje and Khabib Nurmagomedov are in agreement: Tony Ferguson will not be relevant in the lightweight title picture moving forward. It was not long after Justin Gaethje dominated Tony Ferguson at UFC 249 when UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov gave a prediction for the remainder of Ferguson’s fighting career: “And I understand Tony Ferguson’s […]

Justin Gaethje Doesn’t Think Tony Ferguson Was Ever An ‘Elite Lightweight’

Justin Gaethje doesn’t think Tony Ferguson is done. However, he didn’t think the latter was an elite lightweight either.

Ferguson saw his 12-fight winning streak snapped at the hands of Gaethje after losing a fifth-round TKO in their UFC 249 headliner in May last year.

“El Cucuy” would then suffer his second loss in a row after getting comfortably outpointed by Charles Oliveira in the co-main event of UFC 256 last month.

While he lost to two of the best lightweights in the world, many observers felt Ferguson was slow and potentially past his prime — especially after the damage he took against Gaethje.

Gaethje had a different take on Ferguson, however.

“I mean, Tony has always been that man,” Gaethje told ESPN (via The Body Lock). “Guys constantly went in there and fought in the chaos and refused to create space. I don’t know why, [Anthony] Pettis and [Donald] Cerrone, these guys weren’t able to do what I did. But I think that was there the whole time.

“Fans not being there really helped, stayed focus, keep everything internal. That’s a huge factor when you’re fighting Tony because just his face alone makes you wanna fight. I don’t think he’s done by any means, I just don’t think he’s an elite lightweight. I don’t think he ever was. I just think his skills were really effective in the way people were fighting him.”

It’s hard to agree with Gaethje’s claim, especially as non-elite fighters don’t go on 12-fight winning streaks in arguably the most stacked division in the UFC.

That said, “The Highlight” doesn’t believe the Ferguson who faced Oliveira was the same one that embarked on that streak.

“I was impressed with Oliveira but yeah, I don’t want to take anything away from him but Tony was not the same person,” Gaethje added. “No one’s going to be the same person after you get hit in the face that many times. Ever.

“You fight with less confidence and his confidence is something that made him so dangerous and his lack of confidence now is going to be a factor.”

Tony Ferguson Says Dustin Poirier Ducked Him Prior To UFC 257

Dustin Poirier may consider himself the uncrowned champion of the lightweight division, but Tony Ferguson begs to differ. Poirier gave himself the title following his UFC 257 win over Conor McGregor.

Dustin Poirier may consider himself the uncrowned champion of the lightweight division, but Tony Ferguson begs to differ.

Poirier gave himself the title following his UFC 257 win over Conor McGregor. But with Dana White having yet to remove the actual title from Khabib Nurmagomedov – despite his insistence that he will remain retired – the future of the belt remains in question. While many safely assume that the lightweight championship will be on the line in Poirier’s next bout, it remains unknown who his opponent will be. Ferguson, a former interim champion, feels that his name should be at the top of the list after Poirier avoided a fight with him last year.

“Good Fight But You Dodged Me Kid,” Ferguson wrote in a tweet in response to Poirier. ‘El Cucuy’ and ‘The Diamond’ were in fact rumoured to face each other following Poirier’s win over Dan Hooker. However, Poirier and McGregor would eventually convince the UFC to let them have their rematch, and Ferguson was instead paired against Charles Oliveira at UFC 256. ‘Do Bronx’ would go on to dominate Ferguson over three rounds to run his win-streak to eight, but that obviously hasn’t stopped Ferguson from believing he should have a shot against Poirier. In fact, ‘El Cucuy’ has even offered up his reasoning behind his performance against Oliveira, and how he intends to fix it (H/T BJPenn).

“My crew: No excuses, I fell flat,” Ferguson wrote on Instagram post-fight. “I went out and welcomed the attack instead of defend. The warm up time in the back for UFC hasn’t been the same since pre-covid. Still no excuses, times change and so do people. The time from the hotel to the UFC Apex is much more condensed and the aggressive level we needed was not reached.”

”After the fight, we were checked by doctors and went back to the hotel. I felt it was in order to hit pads and spar immediately because the fight was fresh in my mind and blood circulation in my arm was needed. I really needed to figure out what the F’n problem was from the fight. Solution: Pre-fight time management.”

Regardless of how Ferguson feels, it remains highly unlikely that he will have the chance to square off against Poirier anytime soon. He hasn’t looked at all competitive during his two-fight skid, and fighters such as Oliveira and Michael Chandler have leap-frogged him in the standings. However, if Ferguson is ever able to turn things around and work his way back in to title contention, a fight between him and Poirier is sure to be fireworks.
