Who is Ferguson’s future opponent

So, on the night of September 10-11, a fight took place in which Tony Ferguson lost to Nate Diaz. After the fight, Diaz announced that the Dana White promotion. The public was expecting Tony to announce the end of his career too. But he, on the contrary, is raring to fight!

It’s worth noting that Tony is still a star fighter, despite the fact that he has suffered five straight losses. Well, it happens, say the inveterate optimists. It’s all temporary.

So who can be his rival now?

Most sports experts, call Conor McGregor the ideal opponent. It is no exaggeration to say that every UFC fighter dreams to enter the arena against him. But fight with Tony Ferguson is exactly the fight he needs now. And not only him, because everyone will benefit from it. Firstly, the Irish fighter himself, secondly, his rival, thirdly, the UFC management and fourthly, of course, the fans.

The fight with Diaz clearly showed Ferguson’s decline. And he has given up sharply and badly. And for McGregor, this is a great chance to come back in triumph. Remember when he defeated Donald Cerrone in 2020, in January. It was great happiness for all his fans then. There is no doubt that now, he will also confidently defeat Tony, who has been deflated a lot lately. This victory will give the Irish fighter’s fans confidence that their idol is ready to stand up to the best fighters. And that he’s still got some juice in his powder box. So it’s unlikely that McGregor will refuse this fight. And if he does, it begs the question of whether he’s in his right mind.

It’s also obvious that Tony won’t refuse this fight, he simply has no reason to refuse. Ferguson isn’t even thinking about ending his career right now. There are two possibilities here, either he blindly believes he’s still a strong competitor, or he’s just looking for a posh offer to end his career. What is certain is that a fight with Conor will bring him a very solid check, so this ‘funeral’ could be called the most expensive in the history of the UFC.

This fight will also help Dana White collect huge sales figures and restore McGregor’s aura of former greatness. Well, and Tony will get a lavish send-off. Although perhaps El Cucuy, once again, will pretend that all is well and no big deal has happened. The vast majority of fans will be in favour of this fight. Maybe only a few, sympathetic Tony fans will be against this fight. Otherwise, for sure, all UFC fans will be eager to see Conor smash Toney around the arena. Ferguson vs McGregor, sounds like the event of the year, like the main fight. And everyone will be watching it, even though it’s unlikely to top the table in terms of content.
