Tony Ferguson has claimed that he will not be retiring from mixed martial arts despite suffering his sixth straight defeat. For many years, Tony Ferguson was widely considered to be the best lightweight on the planet – or at least, one of the top two.

Tony Ferguson has shut down talk of retirement. After Ferguson suffered a submission loss to Bobby Green at UFC 291, many called for ‘El Cucuy’ to retire given it was his sixth straight loss.

The UFC 291 salaries have been released – but only a handful have actually been made public for fans to see. The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s most recent pay-per-view event was, by all accounts, a success. The promotion put on another fantastic card, headlined by Justin Gaethje knocking out Dustin Poirier to win the BMF title. In addition to that, we also saw a parade of other fun match-ups, setting us up for even more entertaining collisions in the future.

Sean O’Malley has given his thoughts on Tony Ferguson suffering a sixth consecutive defeat over the weekend.

It marks his sixth straight loss inside the Octagon, following on from a run in which he established himself as one of the best lightweights of all time. It’s been a hard transition for many of his biggest fans to accept, but such is the harsh nature of father time.

UFC lightweight contender Bobby Green has mixed emotions after his win over Tony Ferguson. ‘King’ made his return to the cage on Saturday night at UFC 291 opposite ‘El Cucuy’.

Tonight’s UFC 291 main card lineup featured a highly anticipated lightweight bout between Tony Ferguson and Bobby Green. Ferguson (25-9 MMA) had entered the contest with hopes of snapping his five-fight losing skid. ‘El Cucuy’ had suffered a submission loss to Nate Diaz in his most previous effort back at UFC 279. The 39-year-old was looking to pick up his first victory since June of 2019, where he defeated Donald Cerrone by way of TKO.

Tony Ferguson says he was fine losing to Nate Diaz as it allowed the Stockton native to leave the UFC on a win. Ferguson was supposed to take on Li Jingliang at UFC 279 at welterweight, but after Khamzat Chimaev badly missed weight, ‘El Cucuy’ ended up fighting Nate Diaz at welterweight on a day’s notice. However, Ferguson says that camp was not a good one as he was eating slushies on fight week and didn’t care too much about his fight against Diaz.

Cole Shelton - July 26, 2023

Tony Ferguson thinks he’s just entering his prime ahead of his UFC 291 fight against Bobby Green. Ferguson is on a five-fight losing skid and coming off a submission loss to Nate Diaz last September. Prior to that, he lost to Michael Chandler by KO, Beneil Dariush and Charles Oliveira by decision, and Justin Gaethje by KO. Since he has been on the losing skid, many fans have called for ‘El Cucuy’ to retire, but Ferguson says he isn’t even thinking about that.
