Former interim UFC lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson may have half-retired from mixed martial arts competition earlier this week, however, the Oxnard native is still weighing up his immediate future – questioning what he would do if he never competed again.
Ferguson, a former interim lightweight titleholder, suffered a record-setting eighth consecutive loss at UFC Abu Dhabi over the course of last weekend in the United Arab Emirates, dropping a first round rear-naked choke submission loss to Michael Chiesa in the pair’s rescheduled welterweight matchup.
And laying a single glove on the Octagon canvas off the back of his loss, Ferguson would then retract talk of a potential retirement – claiming if UFC CEO, Dana White actually kept him on the sidelines, he would seek competition in another promotion.
