Tony Ferguson har vid flertalet tillfällen hoppat på Nate Diaz i olika intervjuer, och senast ansåg han att Diaz höll på med fel sport. Nu är Ferguson återigen på Diaz då han vill få till en match mot honom, och detta hade Tony att säga via ”The MMA Hour”:
I’m a hell of a lot tougher than that dude, because money never made me soft. And sh*t, even if it made me soft, I wouldn’t forget where I came from. Because you know what? You’ve got a place to represent — like you said ‘represent.’ You’ve got a man right here that’s calling you out, and you’re not signing on the dotted line? You’re a clown, dude. You’re fake.
I had a hard time hearing him. He needs to hire an enunciation coach. He needs to use some of that money to get a grammar or speech coach or something, you know? Either the weed’s getting to him or he’s getting too punchy. Obviously he can’t slip too many punches if he can’t really talk too much.
Obviously I already know I’d beat him already, but if he wants to go that route, we want to put it inside that Octagon, let’s make that paper talk. Let’s go. Let’s make that money, dude. You want to go? I’m a hell of a lot better than you. You try to Stockton Slap me — whatever you f*cking call it — dude, I will hit you with my jab so hard you’ll f*cking knock your teeth out.
You consider yourself gangster? You’re backing down from a fight. Let’s go, dude. We got a main event that’s open that needs to be filled. So if you want to make some money, you want to impress the fans, you want to get back out there and sell your weed, do your sh*t, that’s fine, man. Put your name back in the crowd. Let’s do this sh*t, man. Sign on the dotted line. Let’s go, kid.
Sist vi såg Ferguson inne i oktogonen besegrade han ingen mindre än Rafael dos Anjos via ett enhälligt domslut, ett möte som blev Tonys nionde raka seger.
