Ferguson did not want to join Oliveira's team

Former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion Tony Ferguson refused the offer Charles Oliveira, who had previously offered the American to train in his gym.

“I need to think carefully about this offer, because I see how I will fight Oliveira again. There is no hostility, but I know exactly when to agree and when to refuse. I think now is not the time to go to Chute Boxe and train with him.

There are several halls, I'm going to be a part of one of them. I will help them progress just as they help me grow. My mentality and will to win is still high. On this basis, I need to organize the structure by adding coaching skills and technique. I have everything I need to get back on track and take the belt,” Ferguson said in an interview with MMAjunkie.

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.
