Michael Chandler has responded to Tony Ferguson after ‘El Cucuy’ accused him of delaying a upcoming ass whooping.<\/p>\n
Ferguson (25-6 MMA), the promotions<\/a> former interim lightweight title holder, has not competed since suffering a lopsided decision loss to Beneil Dariush at May’s UFC 262 event.<\/p>\n That setback marked Tony’s third in a row and had many pundits calling for his retirement. The 37-year-old quickly dispelled any notions of hanging up his gloves and has since began campaigning for fights with Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt ain\u2019t over yet Mcgavin\u2019\u2026 The way I see it\u2026 We\u2019ve only just begun.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Ferguson said following UFC 262, quoting a line from the comedy film Happy Gilmore. \u201cRetire & give these MF\u2019s a break!? No, I don\u2019t think so. Not on my watch\u2026 Now I\u2019m pissed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In his latest online effort, Tony Ferguson accused Michael Chandler of delaying his deserved ass whooping.<\/p>\n “There\u2019s My Bitch!!! <\/span>@MikeChandlerMMA <\/a><\/span>The Brass @danawhite <\/a><\/span>@ufc <\/a><\/span>Relayed Your Message Saying You Would Be Ready For Me April\/June. Looks Like Your Trying To Delay That Ass-Whoopin\u2019 I Owe Ya For Cutting In Line Kid- It\u2019s Wrestling Season MF, Man Up- Champ” –\u00a0<\/em>Ferguson posted on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n It did not take long for ‘El Cucuy’ to receive a response from the former Bellator champion, as Michael Chandler quickly fired back with the following words of warning.<\/p>\n Oh Tony. There\u2019s only a handful of guys in this game I truly respect…you\u2019re one of them. Only because of your tenure, not your stature or your current presence in the division. I\u2019ll beat you from bell to bell. Pray for a merciful ref. We shall see if this fight happens.<\/p>\n — Michael Chandler (@MikeChandlerMMA) January 1, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
