“I haven’t had quality sparring since the fights with Barboza and Thomson, and I only went into the cage during my fights. Since the pandemic, all this nonsense has not seemed more funny to me, and I have been more busy caring for others than about myself. It took a lot of effort to feel happy again.
Now I have fenced myself off from everything that harms me. I sorted everything out in my life so that I would not make the same mistakes again. No, I am not ending my career, and let those who think so go to hell. I have a serious job ahead of me and I'm a raging bastard," Tony wrote on social media.
Ferguson's statement was suddenly answered by the ex-promotion champion in two weights Conor McGregor, who, apparently, cannot find a more suitable opponent for himself:
“I will finish you off and I will do it hard,” the Irishman tweeted.
Recall that on July 29 at UFC 291, Ferguson lost via choke to Bobby Green. As for McGregor, he has not appeared in the octagon since July 2021, when he broke his leg in a fight with Dustin Poirier - in that meeting he was awarded a defeat by technical knockout.
