After his loss this is the first time ‘El Cucuy’ shared his feelings and update on his arm with an Instagram post which says, “My Crew, No Excuses, I Felt Flat. I Went Out & Welcomed The Attack Instead Of Defend. The Warm Up Time In The Back for UFC Hasn’t Been The Same Since Pre-COVID. Still No Excuses, Times Change & So Do People”
“The Time From Hotel To UFC Apex Is Much More Condensed & The Aggressive Level We Needed Was Not Reached. My Fault. After The Fight, We Were Checked By Doctors & Went Back To The Hotel. I Felt It Was In Order To Hit Pads/Spar Immediately Because The Fight Was Fresh In My Mind & Blood Circulation In My Arm Was Needed.”
“I Really Needed To Figure Out What The F’n Problem Was From The Fight, Solution **Pre-Fight Time Management** Chuck Was Looking Take My Back or Go For The Armbar As Soon As We Hit The Mat. Thus I Didn’t Worry About The Mount, Kid Was Slick But So Am I.”
Ferguson shared what he was trying to do
Tony Ferguson is considered one of the best players to transit while they are on their back and that left the people more confused that Oliveira controlled him with this ease and made it look an easy fight.

“It Was Fun Fighting Against A Wetblanket (AKA “Heavy Pressure Opponent”) Mark My Words,That Scenario Won’t Happen Again. Period. My Arm Is Aright, The Armbar Was Really Tight. The Thought Of My Son ArmandAnthony’s Ability To Be Double Jointed In His Elbow During That Sequence & My Mental Capacity To Endure Pain Got Me Through It”
“I Have Learned So Much About Myself This Year & What My Purpose In Life Is. My Search For That Epic Word Called “greatness” Isn’t Over. Understand Crew. We Are Far From Being Retired, So Message To My Haters. *ShaBam* Shout Out To My Team I Put Together On Three Weeks Notice. We’re Still Green”
“It Was Great Making Weight & Being Around My Fight Fam For The Week. I Can’t Wait Til We Compete In Front Of A Big Loud Crowd Again, It’s Not The Same Without You All”
