Chandler thinks Ferguson needs to take a break

Top lightweight UFC Michael Chandler expressed the opinion that his former rival Tony Ferguson you need to take a break in your career.

“I like Tony. It was insanely interesting to watch him all those years that he fought in the UFC. I don’t want to tell him, but I really hope that he will take a short break and rest.

Frankly, it seems crazy to me that he already fought last weekend, and I didn’t yet - after all, it was he who was knocked out in our May fight. He definitely needs to take a break and let his body recover, ”Chandler said on The MMA Hour.

September 11 at UFC 279, Ferguson lost via submission to Nate Diaz. For the 39-year-old American, this defeat was the fifth in a row.
