Tony Ferguson knows he should be fighting at UFC 254.
In fact less than 48 hours away from the event, the former interim UFC lightweight champion is still working out, shadow boxing and feeling like he’s about to make the walk to the octagon on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
Unfortunately, a proposed fight between Ferguson and Dustin Poirier fell apart in the weeks leading up to the event. Poirier couldn’t come to terms on a deal with the UFC and Ferguson stood in solidarity with him after the promotion attempted to book him in a different matchup against former Bellator champion Michael Chandler.
