Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje took the news that the Ultimate Fighting Championship was cancelling its upcoming events well, all things considered.
Ferguson was mid-interview with the OC Register on Thursday, when the news broke that UFC 249 and all subsequent were postponed. His immediate response, understandably, was a little profanity followed by shock.
“(Expletive). Oh wow. (Expletive),” he uttered with intermittent silence. “Oh well. I’m still gonna train.”
The former interim champ was to be matched up with Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight strap in the headliner of UFC 249.
