Tony Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) believes that the UFC seem to be protecting Conor McGregor, who is the sports biggest star at the expense of the sport.
“Money talks and (expletive) walks, so obviously they’re going to protect their pocket, and they’re going to keep ‘McNuggets’ away from a real contender,” Ferguson Said during his press conference ahead of his Oct 7th Bout.
Tony Ferguson had earlier this year wanted to face Conor McGregor earnestly (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) and against Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) at UFC 209 both of which never came to fruition. He feels that if the Bout is set up by the UFC then the sport will lose its credibility.
“The next fight for Conor should be whoever wins this interim lightweight title,” Ferguson said. “If it’s myself or Kevin Lee, that (expletive) needs to defend or vacate, and he needs to unify that belt.
“Anything else, as far as him trying to fight Nate, the (expletive) rankings and everything else that the UFC stands for, goes out the window, man. I mean, really? You have rankings for a reason. You have an interim belt for a reason – that’s so you can unify the thing.”
