Tony Ferguson doesn’t want to retire despite suffering his eighth consecutive loss against Michael Chiesa at UFC on ABC 7.
Ferguson suffered a first-round submission loss against Chiesa at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. Ferguson revealed that he was feeling nauseous due to nervousness leading up to the fight.. “Time difference is kind of crazy. Right before we walked out I kept on feeling like I was throwing up, kind of feeling just a little bit bad. Lot of nerves going into this s—t. I got 12 and eight now, so it’s kind of crazy. Not very happy with my performance.
Ferguson left one of his gloves in the Octagon after his loss to Chiesa, labeling it a “see you later” instead of a retirement. While “El Cucuy” was riding the longest winning streak in UFC lightweight history at one point, his latest loss puts him on the longest losing streak in the history of the promotion. However, Ferguson wants to continue in the UFC even though he doesn’t really have a strong case to make for a spot on the roster.
“I’m very honored to be able to represent the UFC to the top of my abilities,” he said. “I say I’m not ready . I’m not done yet, but I don’t know what to say. Should have went out there, should have got that done, obviously. But I’m an athlete, I don’t anything else to do besides go out there and f—-ing play… UFC’s awesome man. I’m the CSO, that’s the Chief Security Officer, so without me s—t wouldn’t have happened. So I love this company.
