Ferguson is going through the worst losing streak of his career in the organization. After eight consecutive losses, the 40-year-old American has not won since 2019. His last defeat, which happened in July by submission to Michael chiesa, shook the fighter, who showed great emotion in the octagon.
Despite the frustration, 'El Cucuy' left open the possibility of returning to the octagon. However, the veteran acknowledged the need to reflect on the future of his career.
“I don’t want to retire, but I love the UFC and I don’t want to stop fighting here,” Ferguson said after the fight.
The statement on social media may indicate that Tony Ferguson has already made a decision about his future and will soon make an official announcement. 'El Cucuy', as he is known, has the worst streak in the company's history and has not won a fight since June 2019. A former interim champion, he has achieved 25 wins and 11 losses in his career.
