“When I feel like I’m ready to retire, I will retire,” Ferguson told ESPN (h/t MMA Junkie). “But right now it’s a little bit different, a little bit more interesting. ‘DC’ and all these commentators that just keep repeating the same s—t in the past couple of years — because that’s what they want me to do. They want the public eye to see me like that and they want to see me as a quitter and so on and so forth.
“I never cheated to get on the scales to retain my championship like ‘DC’ — hashtag ‘towel gate,’ — these guys grabbing the towel, trying to lift some pounds off the scale,” he continued. “The UFC [was] right there — they went with it. It’s like an inside job. This guy wants to call it out, I’m going to call you right back out. You don’t have to be an asshole to the people who actually work hard. There’s a lot of up-and-coming fighters that see that s—t and they’re going to try and go with the clique — and that’s it. So don’t start that s—t. I’ve literally given my shirt off my back to the fans, and same thing with the UFC, and I’ll still take my shirt off to go inside that f—king Octagon and show that I’m the f—king man. I’m still the f—king champ.”
He really has given everything to the sport. Sad to see but seems he won’t be content unless he goes out on his shield
nailed it
Including some desperately needed cognition.
Dana should make a cte title to go with the bmf title
It’s sad watching him now. He’s not completely done and can still fight but he’s unlikely to fight an unranked fighter.
He turned his back a couple of times in the nate fight. That is a very bad sign.
So harvard business school didnt work out huh?
