UFC legend leans on the head of the organization! He’s like a drug dealer, Ferguson is clear

Tony Ferguson is one of the stalwarts of the UFC, he has been fighting in the organization since 2011 and is undoubtedly one of the legends of MMA. However, his future is in the stars. In an interview with the media, he revealed that he does not plan to sign a new contract with the UFC, and he compared the boss of the organization to drug dealers.

If MMA fans were talking about the best fighters who have never been the rightful UFC champions, Tony Ferguson would definitely be the name that would come up. In his prime, this unique fighter had a streak of 12 straight wins.

Even so, he never got the chance to fight for a title. He only fought for the interim championship belt twice, won it once, yet never fought for the undisputed championship belt.

Now, moreover, he faces an opponent who didn’t have to do much for a title fight. Michael Chandler fought for the title right after one win in the UFC. That’s also why Ferguson got very heated in his media interview.

Ferguson stated that Chandler is a privileged fighter for UFC boss Dana White. The reaction? Laughter not only from White, but from most of the people in the room. “It’s not funny. I’m taking this weekend pretty damn seriously. I’m gonna kick that Dana White favorite’s ass,” “El Cucuy” expressed.

The UFC legend added, among other things, that he has nothing against Chandler, who shouldn’t take it personally. He’s just tired of the tactics the organization is presenting.

Ferguson also leaned into the conditions for the fighters

Soon, in fact, Ferguson began criticizing the UFC’s pay and conditions for fighters. White recently stated that fighters are extremely overpaid. This affected Ferguson, as he feels that UFC stars, on the other hand, are paid too little.

In addition, it annoys him that he can’t do anything but fight in the UFC.

“I asked the UFC to let me fight. He said no. Why? I want to play baseball, or other sports. I’m an athlete, I grew up playing different sports at a high level. I’ve won state championships in football, I’ve been involved in wrestling… I want to do a few things, but I can’t because there’s a guy here who’s acting like a drug dealer,” expressed a defiant Ferguson, who would like to make some money somewhere.
