Although it sounds like Dana White and the UFC might pursue an immediate rematch<\/a> between Tony Ferguson and Donald Cerrone, Ferguson himself is looking ahead to other challenges.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the UFC 238 post-fight press conference, the streaking contender once again called for a title fight with the man he calls “Tiramisu,” Khabib Nurmagomedov. He and the Russian champion have been scheduled to fight four times previously to no avail.<\/p>\n

\u201dI made it a point in my head, \u2018You\u2019re going to walk away like a champ no matter what anybody thinks,\u2019\u201d Ferguson said (via MMA Mania<\/a>). \u201c\u2018You\u2019re going to walk in there with your head held high, and you\u2019re gonna walk out the same way that you walked in.\u2019 Yeah, I had my head down because I heard the boos, but i think more than anything else the fans wanted another round. And honestly, I would have given them another round or two, and if you had brought someone else in there, it would have been the same f**king story, I would have bled all over the place.<\/p>\n

\u201dI got 12 fights in a row, man,\u201d Tony Ferguson continued. \u201cI should be calling the f**king shots. With all due respect to the UFC and Dana White, I think they need an evaluation if my next fight isn\u2019t a title fight,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dIt\u2019s kinda funny, I don\u2019t know what else I have to do in this division to keep … to keep after it. It\u2019s a round robin tournament, but I\u2019m tired of it. I\u2019m here to stay. I am the f**king champ. I don\u2019t have to go on and refurbish a lot of that stuff. You guys know what I\u2019m about. I\u2019m about the business, you guys know I\u2019m about learning and growing and … f**k, man. If Dustin Poirier doesn\u2019t do it, I\u2019m going to do it. \u2018Tiramisu\u2019 needs an ass whooping; he needs two to the stomach from me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barring that, Tony Ferguson said he’d also welcome a fight with “McNuggets” Conor McGregor. In fact, he did his part to encourage the wealthy Irishman to keep fighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if it\u2019s \u2018McNuggets\u2019 for a money fight, literally?\u201d Ferguson continued, referencing Conor McGregor. \u201cHe\u2019s an athlete, too. I know the division misses him. I\u2019m pretty sure he misses the fight game, too. We need to see these fighters keep coming out and represent the sport, because that\u2019s why you got into it. You\u2019re an athlete. Keep coming back and when it\u2019s your turn to retire, go and f**king retire, man. But if you\u2019ve made a name in this sport and you\u2019re able and within the age limit, keep competing.<\/p>\n

Where do you think Tony Ferguson should go from here?<\/p>\n
