Tony Ferguson vs Charles Oliveira is almost upon us, and ‘El Cucuy’ has already sent out a stern warning to his opponent saying he wouldn’t fight if he (Oliveira) misses weight. Tony is someone who takes his diet seriously and never misses weight. And, there have been instances where his opponents have missed weight, most notably, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Taking to Instagram, Tony posted an image of his nutrition laden diet, claiming that he has decided to take things into his own hands, after parting ways with his nutritionists. He also didn’t seem confident about Charles Oliveira making weight.
“Encourage him to make the weight if you want to see a fight” – Tony Ferguson on Instagram
Tony captioned the post, “We Are No Longer Working W/ My Former Nutritionists Perfecting Athletes. At The Beginning Of This Camp I Made A Conscious Decision To Trust In What Got Me Here & The Results Are Amazing. I Have Been Competing In Athletics For Over 30 Years & Making Weight The Same Amount Of Time. Weight Is Good & Eating Right!!!“
And, about Oliveira, Tony said, “I Am Counting On The Brazilian @charlesdobronxs & Others To Come In Overweight Like Usual. So I’m Calling It Now. Case Law: Short Notice Fight, @charlesdobronxs Will Not Cut Weight All Week & Show Up 3-4 Lbs Over Weight & Use The Excuse Of A Short Notice Fight. If he shows up that much overweight We are not competing. So crew, Make sure you visit the kids page @charlesdobronxs & Encourage him to make the weight if you want to see a fight. Champ Shit Only™️ Crew“
