You cannot break the cheerfulness in Tony Ferguson no matter how tough odds are right now. Ferguson is unfortunately handed his fifth straight loss to MMA legend Nate Diaz who has now fought his final UFC fight inside the world’s most watched Octagon. Ferguson, the former interim- UFC lightweight champion is not only on a 5-fight skid but is also 38-years old as well. So, a thought to help Ferguson consider for retirement becomes inevitable.

Ferguson in his prime was known for his legendary 12-fight winning streak with wins over the likes of Edson Barboza, Anthony Pettis, Rafael Dos Anjos, Donald Cerrone, Kevin Lee and many more. Ferguson started off his UFC career fashionably by winning the 13th season of The Ultimate Fighter series under the tutelage of former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. No matter where he goes from now, “El Cucuy” will always remain “El Amado” by the fans.

What did you make of Ferguson’s loss to Diaz in the main event of UFC 279? In other news, Khamzat Chimaev defeated Kevin Holland in the co-main event and seems like they both squashed their beef.

What do you think is next for Ferguson from here? Where do you put “El Cucuy” amongst the best lightweights of their time?
