Tony Ferguson will be amongst one of the 60 fighters cut by the UFC following his lopsided decision loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 256, according to the veteran referee.
McCarthy cites Ferguson’s ‘adversarial relationship’ with the UFC, as well as recent subpar performances against Oliveira and Justin Gaethje, as the two main reasons the premiere fight promotion will consider axing ‘El Cucuy’ from its roster by the end of the year.
“I think they’re going to cut him,” McCarthy said on his Weighing In podcast with Josh Thomson (transcript via Abhinav Kini of The Body Lock).
