Tony Ferguson commented on his defeat in a duel with Justin Gaethje. First, Tony said that two weight races in a short period of time were not related to this defeat. Secondly, El Cucuy noted that all this time he had been preparing for the battle against Khabib Nurmagomedov, and he, unlike Gaethje, was not a puncher.
“Justin is a hard-fucked son, I have to call a spade a spade. We were preparing for Khabib, but he is not a puncher,” Ferguson said.
Gaethje defeated Tony by TKO in the 5th round, winning the title of interim lightweight champion.
