Former interim UFC lightweight champion Tony Ferguson posted his first post on social media since losing a unanimous decision to Beneil Dariush in the UFC 262 co-main event.
“El Cucuy” left a laconic message on his Instagram page, apparently hinting that he was not going to give up after another failure.
“UFC 262 -CSO- πΊπΈππ²π½ # π£ I Wonβt Tap # One. Day Of Reflection βοΈπ¨π” Tony Ferguson wrote.
Let’s remind that the defeat to Beneil Dariush was the third in a row for Tony Ferguson. Before that, he lost to Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira, while each time the opponents dominated the 37-year-old American, and Justin “The Highlight” Gaethje managed to defeat him early.
Note that after the UFC 262 tournament, the head of the UFC, Dana White, admitted that he was not sure about Ferguson’s future.
βI hear you. He had a tough three rounds, he couldnβt stop the takedown, he couldnβt get up from underneath Beneil,β WhiteΒ said at the post-fight press conference. βYeah, he had a tough night so I donβt know. Weβll see what happens.
ββ¦ Time gets us all. β¦ Unfortunately, itβs definitely hit Tony.β
White did give credit to the toughness and heart Ferguson showed in his defeat, however.
βHeβs tough as hell, though, man. He was in that heel hook and his ankle definitely popped. His ankle, the rest of the fight, looked like a golf ball. Maybe even a baseball and he kept fighting. Thereβs no quit in that dude. β¦ Heβs tough.β
