Should Tony Ferguson be Cut or One more Chance?

[ryanrandy]

I'd keep him around

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Win 12 straight, then lose 2 and people are talking about potentially cutting this most entertaining savage... just like Overeem, El Cucuy is exciting win or lose, except without the hefty price tag Reem still brings. War Ferguson

 

[GrantB13]

You can't cut him after two performances when he has a very long streak of wins. That would be garbage decision making.

 

[ConditFan]

Maybe feed him to Islam for one more before UFC releases him?

Nice. You'll get some attention for this. Probably cause mom didn't give u any

 

[RogerB08]

Release him. Let the next beating he takes be on someone else's conscience.

Two thoroughly uncompetitive performances.

Hold on brother

UFC will not let him go just for 2 fight skid

It definitely shouldn't happen, but it has in the past.

 

[Aurelian]

Tony saved the Gaethje card and the UFC should be grateful for that. He's got at least 2 more fights coming.

 

[StoneWT]

The real question is how many more losses before he starts losing to bad/shot fighters. Mike Jackson, CM Punk, BJ Penn, etc..

 

[Herwald]

I'd let him go 0-4 at LW and then allow a paint job at WW. As long as he wants to stick around and be glutton for punishment himself, let him. He's earned it.

That said, he could nose it up or, at the very least, become the new Pettis. Win here or there, but slowly head for that sunset.

Yeah that would suck. Don’t know where he would go or do if that was the case.

I’m curious with all the cuts and wonder how many fighters have to fight for a living and others just do it for fun.

I would guess most people who have made it to the UFC fight for a living, although there have been exceptions.

 

[Krixes]

You don't cut a guy like Tony because of two losses. He needs a top 10-15 guy, and we'll see where he's at.

 

[daniel san]

I’m all for cutting at least 50% of the roster but obviously Ferguson shouldn’t be cut just because he’s not the #1 or #2 in the division.

 

[thenewone]

You cant cut Tony. He is too entertaining and still an amazing fighter. Maybe give him Paul Felder next, get a win, then lets see what he has in him after that.
