Tony Ferguson is not ready to retire and has a simple message for the people suggesting he should walk away from the sport after suffering defeat against Justin Gaethje.
Ferguson was riding a 12-fight winning streak ahead of his fight against Gaethje at UFC 249. On fight night ‘El Cucuy’ was on the receiving end of a brutal, one-side beat down against ‘The Highlight’ who ultimately picked the fifth-round stoppage win and the interim lightweight title on May 9.
Following the loss many wondered if the 35-year-old was now past his prime. Some even suggested Ferguson should retire from fighting after suffering such a brutal loss but he has absolutley not interest in doing so.
“For me, I’m able to adjust on the fly. I feel bad for a lot of these up and coming fighters that just got their pro license or they are looking for fights and they don’t know what to do. Or, these college athletes that don’t know what is going on with their future or how they are going to get picked into the draft,” Ferguson said to ESPN. “There are a lot of what-ifs, right? It’s crazy, I feel for those guys man. A lot of us veterans, we can adjust on the fly like how we have with this stuff.
“We are able to change with experience, but that is us plowing the road for these younger generations to come through and eventually take the torch,” he continued. “But, for me, that ain’t anytime soon. These motherf*****s are out there writing me off saying yo you need to retire right now, f**k you guys.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)
Ferguson is already eyeing up his next fight. The lightweight contender hopes to face off against either Dustin Poirier or Conor McGregor to earn his long overdue shot at the 155lb title.

Former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson is hoping to secure a fight against one of the best 155lb fighters after suffering his first loss since 2014 at the hands of Justin Gaethje at UFC 249 on May 9.
Ferguson was supposed to face off against lightweight king, Khabib Nurmagomedov earlier this year but that fight fell through due to the ongoing global pandemic. ‘El Cucuy’ accepted a fight with late replacement opponent Justin Gaethje instead. Things didn’t go well for Ferguson on fight night. He was dominated for four rounds before being stopped in the fifth and final round by ‘The Highlight’.
In an interview with Ariel Helwani of ESPN Ferguson indicated he is ready to return and is eyeing fight with two of the best lightweights in the world, he said.
“You want to give me Conor, give me Conor. You want to give me Poirier, we’ll make that happen. Then we’ll fight the winner of the Gaethje and Khabib fight.”
Poirier seems the most likely option after he returned to winnings ways against Dan Hooker in one of the best fights 2020 has had to offer. Both men put it all on the line over five rounds, but it was ‘The Diamond’ who emerged victorious via unanimous decision. Post-fight Poirier spoke about his desire to fight Ferguson and it looks like he may now get his wish.
Conor McGregor is currently retired from the sport. The Irish superstar walked away from the sport earlier this year after becoming frustrated by the lack of fights available too him. McGregor had hoped his win over Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone would be one of many in 2020 but he has been unable to compete due to the coronavirus crisis. A fight with Ferguson may well be enough to coax him out of retirement, especially considering the fact a win against ‘El Cucuy’ is a sure-fire way to earn a rematch with Nurmagomedov.
