After three rounds of action that unfurled mostly on the ground, Oliveira was named the winner by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n<p>Given that Ferguson has long stood out as one of the sport&#8217;s premiere lightweights, and that he was recently on a 12-fight win-streak, Oliveira was widely applauded for his win. Ferguson, however, doesn&#8217;t seem all that impressed with his foe&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, after rewatching the fight, Ferguson claimed that Oliveira broke mentally early in the fight, which led to him getting &#8220;lazy&#8221; in the later rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson made this comment during a recent Instagram live appearance, which was captured by unBROKEN MMA on Twitter.

Wait for the opportunity for him to get so lazy that, in the third round, he doesn\u2019t even advance to mount anymore. What he does is he stays controlled in the side position, looking for something completely different\u2014a different move\u2014because he was mentally broken first round.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I went back and watched film, without <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/eddie-grant-and-sam-hughes-respond-to-daniel-cormiers-hurtful-comments-from-ufc-256\/\">the commentary<\/a> like \u2018oh he got dominated,&#8217; this and that,&#8221; Ferguson added. &#8220;Ok, to the untrained people in jiu jitsu: advancing positions in traditional martial arts, you will get points and advantages and different types of points.
