Ferguson has lost his last four fights and hasn’t won any fights since he defeated Donald Cerrone in the second round by TKO in 2019. Tony Ferguson recently admitted that he lost his memory after Michael Chandler kicked him. Tony Ferguson remembers his horrific experience after being kicked hard in the face by Michael Chandler, who was named KO of the year after losing his fight at UFC 274.
He’s a jiu-jitsu black belt, though Tony has been less of a fighter in his last few fights. Eddie Bravo, a well-known trainer, presented him with the award. Ferguson received his black belt from Bravo after his submission victory over Kevin Lee at UFC 216. Bravo took the belt from Jean Jacques Machado in 2003 after handing over Royler Gracie.
When it comes to the American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), competitors like Daniel Cormier and Khabib Ferguson are pretty vocal about one thing. However, surprisingly, in the case of Islam Makhachev, their views differ.
“I respected that”- Tony Ferguson admires Islam Makhachev and thanks him for his achievements
Ferguson was a guest “MMA Hour” stated in it, “I’m going to joke and keep on joking because that’s how I am about my stuff because, you know, he obviously cheated on the scales there too. But that’s one of the things they do AKA and they get away with it. With Makhachev he is different. He is different. I respected that.”
Things are much better for Makhachev. He has a 10-game winning streak and is the world’s No. 4 lightweight athlete. Makhachev is likely to fight in the next contender match, or perhaps a title match against Charles Oliveira.
While Ferguson is full of competing against the best in the world for the lightweight title. In the first round, he looked good against Chandler, which shows that Tony still has the ability to compete at a high level, but after being brutally punished, the fighter’s best days are mostly behind him.
