Brown: "Losing to Gaethje broke Ferguson"

American mixed martial arts veteran Matt Brown named the reasons for the decline in the career of the former interim UFC lightweight champion of his compatriot Tony Ferguson.

“Now that Ferguson has lost out to Pimblett, the question is: Is Paddy better than we think? Or is there almost nothing left of Tony? Actually, I don't have a clear answer. Perhaps Tony still has a few fights left.

It seems to me that in the fights with Gaethje and Chandler he was simply broken. And it’s sad. Ferguson tore his knee while trying to fight Khabib for the fourth time when he tripped over a damn wire. And from then on he went downhill. I feel like Gaethje broke him,” Brown said on The Fighter vs. podcast. The Writer.

Let us remember that 39-year-old Ferguson is on a streak of seven defeats in a row.
