Daniel Cormier believes that Tony Ferguson’s time as a title contender has handed, and a transfer to Jackson Wink MMA is simply prolonging the inventible.
Ferguson has been going by way of a tricky run, the place he has not received a combat since 2019. Ferguson has misplaced 4 fights in a row to Justin Gaethje, Beneil Dariush, Charles Oliveira, and Michael Chandler. In his final combat, he seemed distinctive and his rise up was on level, for a spherical. Then as rapidly because the second spherical began, the combat ended. Chandler front kicked Ferguson and turned him right into a meme.
Ferguson is 38 years outdated, on the tail finish of his profession, ding something to maintain himself related within the division. ‘El Cucuy‘ famously went on a 12 combat win streak, then landed the interim light-weight title over Kevin Lee. He sadly by no means even had an opportunity to unify the title, as he needed to pull out of the combat in opposition to Khabib Nurmagomedov because of a leg harm. The combat between these two was cancelled 4 separate instances.
Daniel Cormier spoke about Ferguson on his present “DC & RC”
“Man, this can be a little bit of a tricky one, proper? As a result of I faucet in on him chasing down that previous greatness, I simply don’t know if there’s any extra of that. I simply imagine that all of us have a time. All of us have a time, and I imagine that point’s gone. I don’t imagine that a lot goes to alter for Tony Ferguson with the camp change. I simply imagine that his time has handed, and no camp change goes to alter that.” Cormier Said on the present (Transcribed by MMAJunkie)
Ferguson was probably the most gifted strikers the group has ever seen. Anybody that stood toe to toe with him in his prime, walked away with battle scars and a narrative to inform. It’s unlucky that Ferguson had a critical harm that derailed his run, as a result of out positively set him again, as he wasn’t the identical fighter he was earlier than it.
