“You ran away from me too, Chandler. You're an idiot. All the people here (also ran away) except this guy (Charles of the Bronx) who is sitting next to me. I'm going to be real. You have this chance handed to you and you have a privilege from Dana White,” Ferguson said at a pre-XNUMX press conference.UFC 262.
The speech even made the president of Ultimate, Dana White, laugh at the comment. The 'Bicho Papão' went on to build a streak of 12 consecutive victories, but only had the chance for the interim belt. He stated that he does not look at his past and wants to continue towards the top of the division, starting with his confrontation in the co-main fight against Beneil Dariush.
“Dana (White) was right and said timing is everything. I wasn't supposed to have the title. After all, I would have given everyone a chance, right? (…) you have these two gentlemen who are fighting for a vacant title, I had 12 fights in a row and fought for a title, but then I was defeated, right?”, concluded the fighter.
At 37, Tony Ferguson comes from two consecutive defeats and tries to recover against Beneil Dariush. The North American is in fifth place in the division's ranking and has a record of 25 triumphs and five setbacks in his career.
