Ferguson could move up to welterweight

Former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion Tony Ferguson admitted that he was thinking about moving to the welterweight division.

“I don’t mind going back to 170 pounds. I knocked out everyone at welterweight. Cutting weight to 155 is not too difficult for me, but I am losing a lot of muscle mass. I hate being so skinny. I look like a little bitch in this weight, I don't like it.

I bust my butt in workouts and eat right to gain muscle mass. Even my father says to me: “Anthony, compete at your natural weight.” I haven't done this in a long time," Ferguson said in an interview with MMA Junkie.

Recall that on May 7 at UFC 274, Ferguson lost by knockout to Michael Chandler. For the 38-year-old American, this defeat was the fourth in a row.
