Tony Ferguson is calling on UFC president Dana White to give the fans what they deserve and save his Dustin Poirier fight.<\/p>\n
Ferguson appeared to be in good spirits last week despite losing out on a potential fight with Dustin Poirier at UFC 254. ESPN’<\/a>s Ariel Helwani reported that his opponent was headed back to his home in Louisiana after negotiations for his fight with Ferguson had fallen through<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe UFC and I didn\u2019t come to terms,\u201d Poirier told ESPN. \u201cI will not be fighting on October 24.\u201d<\/p>\n According to “The Diamond,” he didn’t feel the organization had offered him what he deserved for this blockbuster clash.<\/p>\n \u201cI just need to be compensated if they want this fight. Simple as that.\u201d Poirier added. \u201cI\u2019m a prizefighter and the prize needs to be right.\u201d<\/p>\n The proposed Poirier vs. Ferguson fight would have drawn large numbers for the upcoming fight card which is headlined by a lightweight clash between Justin Gaethje and Khabib Nurmagomedov. Unfortunately, it won’t be happening.<\/p>\n Tony Ferguson is disappointed about that.<\/p>\n As he continues to mull over the missed opportunity, Ferguson returned to social media to beg Dana White to organize the fight.<\/p>\n \u201cHere\u2019s Lookin\u2019 At You Kid\u201d Pay the man @danawhite<\/a> @ufc<\/a> Love ya\u2019ll but let\u2019s give the Hardcore & Casual fans what they deserve, a good fight Sir ⚔️🕶 -CSO- 🇺🇸🏆🇲🇽 @DustinPoirier<\/a> #ufc254<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/uVwwZIUtSd<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) September 14, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
