Tony Ferguson, the former interim UFC lightweight champion, spoke about how the organization's former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar urged him to end his career.
“Brock was fucking awesome. I have a lot of coaches, man. I'm going to be a real man, just like Coach Jackson. I don't know anything different, it's always important to do what you do and there are people who want you to do it, I don't know anyone else, but for me it's different. I still keep in touch with coach Lesnar.
He said after one of my fights, I think four fights ago: “You should think about quitting.” Coach Brock said it, he was just real. The coolest thing is that he always told me: “Save money, pay taxes.” After every fight, it wasn’t like he said: “Well done, work hard,” no. He said, “Save money, pay taxes.” Like, okay, coach,” BJ Penn portal quotes Ferguson.
