UFC 229 video: Tony Ferguson brings UFC belt with him during media day staredowns

Tony Ferguson is coming into UFC 229 seemingly pissed off because he entered 2018 as the interim lightweight champion, and one freak injury led to him missing out on fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 223, and he lost his belt as a result.

“It’s been five months since my injury,” Ferguson said. “It took a long f-cking time for me to be here. They took my belt, they took a bunch of zeroes from my pay check. How do you think I f-cking feel? It’s all fun and games, right?”
