UFC lightweight contender Tony Ferguson has revealed that he’s been told Michael Chandler has accepted another fight.<\/p>\n
The animosity between these two elite fighters has been steadily growing as the weeks and months have gone on with Ferguson campaigning to fight Chandler before the end of the year. The former Bellator star, however, wants to wait it out and serve as the co-main event on the proposed Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier card in January.<\/p>\n
However, according to Ferguson, another spanner has been thrown into the works.<\/p>\n

“UFC has said you have already accepted Another Fight ese,” Ferguson wrote. “So @MikeChandlerMMA stop crying to @espnmma about fighting me. You want to compete against me I\u2019ll be in Vegas Dec 12. Accept or we move on. -Champ Shit Only kid. F\u2019kn #AmateurHour #BeGon\u2019Thot”.<\/p>\n
Ferguson is referring to Chandler’s recent interview with ESPN<\/a> in which he seemed to indicate that it was always known he wouldn’t be able to fight in December.<\/p>\n
