Tony Ferguson’s stretch of misfortune
The birth of Tony Ferguson’s son comes as good news for fans of ‘El Cucuy.’ That’s because the lightweight star has experienced nothing but heartbreak in recent years.
Tony Ferguson seemed destined to become the next UFC lightweight champion after collecting 12 straight victories from 2012 to 2019. But that changed when ‘El Cucuy’ suffered his first-ever TKO loss against fellow top contender Justin Gaethje at UFC 249.
The TUF 10 (The Ultimate Fighter) winner tried to bounce back against future champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 256, but to no avail. Time appears to have caught up with Tony Ferguson after being dominated by Beneil Dariush in his most recent outing last month at UFC 262.
Despite his recent woes, Tony Ferguson is adamant that he’s not ready to retire from the sport. A few days after his loss to Dariush, the former UFC interim lightweight champ jumped on Twitter to reassure his supporters that he’s not going anywhere.
