Tony Ferguson går vidare från Nurmagomedov – vill åt Nate Diaz

Tony Ferguson

Tony Ferguson har släppt alla tankar om Khabib Nurmagomedov och går vidare i sin karriär. Efter att deras tredje möte grusats finner Ferguson ingen anledning att vänta på Nurmagomedov. Genom ”The MMA Hour” med Ariel Helwani hade Ferguson följande att säga om sin rådande situation.

I’m a professional, so I’m going to try and move on from this. Trying to offer Khabib a chance to come back at it and see what his position is, but I don’t think he’s doing too good right now. So I’m not sure who’s next man. Been kind of throwing it around the bush and I’m ready, bro. My body doesn’t know anything different than to fight right now. So that’s what I would like to do. I’d like to fight real soon. Especially for the belt.

En matchning som intresserar Ferguson är mot ingen mindre än Stocktons egna, Nate Diaz. Ferguson ser matchningen som en av de mest realistiska och menade även att Diaz ranking-position är ”skitsnack”. Ferguson menade även att de båda har potential att bjuda på en riktigt bra show.

I’m just throwing a name out there, but I think Nate Diaz and myself could actually put on a good show – Tony Ferguson. I think his ranking is kind of bullshit too, but I don’t really see anybody else. I mean, Edson Barboza called me out, but it is what it is. Everything’s in the air right now. I want to fight for the title. I want a fair fight, I want to go in there and kick this dude’s ass no matter who’s signed to the dotted line, and fucking move on. And kick Conor’s ass. I don’t know what he’s up to, but lets just go.

Vidare menade Ferguson att hans stående tekniker utmanövrerar Diaz.

Just because he’s a decent striker, I mean, I haven’t had a knockout in a long time. Not trying to call out my shot for a knockout, but I think my boxing’s a little bit better than his. It is what it is, I think my stand-up is a lot better, but this is not a boxing match, it’s MMA. And I’m just starting to mix it up with some takedowns and cool stuff.

Till sist fick Ferguson frågan när han kunde vara redo att kliva in i buren. Vidare hade Ferguson ett meddelande till Diaz.

July’s fine, I like July. If we can do this sooner, that’d be dope. But you name the place, you name the time, and I’ll be right there and I’ll knock the guy out. Let’s go man, I want to go toe-to-toe. Think you’re good, think you’re bad, think, you say ‘don’t be scared homie,’ I’m standing right here. Live what you say.

Ferguson har vunnit nio raka matcher och sist kunde vi se Ferguson besegra Rafael dos Anjos via enhälligt domslut.
