Ferguson recently accused Pettis of trying to “big league” him and his team back in late 2014. During a recent appearance on Ariel Helwani’s MMA show on ESPN, “Showtime” offered a response:

“I heard about the post, I don’t follow anybody on social media or anything like that. I’m not sure when he posted it but I know what he’s talking about. It was UFC 181, man that was a long time ago. I was getting ready to fight Gilbert Melendez at the time and he tried to come train at a gym that I was already training at. And my coaches asked his coaches to wait to come back until I was actually done because most likely we would be fighting each other. So if he took that as disrespect, that’s on him. That’s just common sense. You’re not gonna go watch somebody train that you’re gonna be fighting potentially.”

Copy and paste it you lazy POS.

 

[Iroh]

Prstty obvious retort.

Done, you rude rude person. I'm on the phone

Makes sense. Fergie lacks common sense so it's no surprise that he'd be offended by that.

Just kidding but it's a warning.

Pettis has a pretty tame response. Maybe he doesn't want to talk shit when he knows he will get annhilated by that psycho Tony.

 

[mooseman17]

Sounds reasonable enough

 

[IamStryker]

Tony doesn't forgive. Tony doesn't forget.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Pettis doesn’t follow anyone on Social Media? He’s suddenly one of my favorite fucking fighters

 

[Muppettoker]

Surely the level headed and not totally batshit crazy Tony could never of misconstrued the situation! Pettis must be lying

He is a bit of a mutant socially, but damn can that guy fight.

Tony seems like the kind of guy who feels disrespected pretty fast. So it sounds plausible.

But anyway it's a sick match up. Can't wait and I do not care if they like each other or not.

He has threatened to ankle pick both DC and Werdum.

He has threatened to ankle pick both DC and Werdum.

What is the origin of this "ankle pick" phrase, that suddenly became so popular about Ferguson?

 

[horc00]

Meh.

Just a poor effort by Tony to cook up some drama with another fighter because apparently that's what you need to do to earn money fighting in the UFC.
