Morning Report: Tony Ferguson, Al Iaquinta engage in heated social media beef

This week, Tony Ferguson took to Twitter to mock Khabib Nurmagomedov’s title winning performance at UFC 223 and lament being stripped of his own interim title. In the process of doing so though, he also mocked the fighter Nurmagomedov beat, Al Iaquinta, and “Ragin’ Al” did not take to kindly to being called a “part-time fighter.” Iaquinta fired back at the “weirdo.”

Bro you need to get off Twitter and shut it.. you blew it, you shoulda fought anyway. You lost your shot for good! this real estate agent would whoop you get dropped every fight

— Al Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) April 24, 2018

Ferguson was supposed to face Nurmagomedov at UFC 223 for the undisputed lightweight title but was forced to withdraw from the fight just days beforehand with a knee injury, incurred when he fell during a media event.
