Charles Oliveira, the former UFC lightweight champion, gave the promotion some advice about Tony Ferguson.
"He deserves all the respect in the world just for continuing to fight, he deserves applause for everything he's done in the UFC. The guy doesn't want to retire, so why not find him someone with the same attitude? That would be great. But putting young guys against him who crave attention, who want a big name on their resume, is a little unfair. It sucks. The guy is of age and you're putting him against young guys? That attitude is kind of depressing."
