Why did Ferguson accept the last fight?

[ijngf]

For money?
If he did not accept that fight, he would still be the NO.1 contender and wait for the title bout.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Because he goes out of his way to do the easiest tasks in the hardest way possible and it backfired.

 

[Ares Black]

Because he is a fighter.

Unlike some leprechaun charlatans.

 

[medium rare]

1. Money
2. To preserve his "tough guy" image

Instead he got a life changing beating for chump change and no title shot ever again

 

[sherpuppy]

He's terrible at managing risk vs reward outside the octagon.

 

[Murder_KickHC]

He needed a tuneup fight to see if he still has it because he was gone forever and had aged alot. Fight more than answered these questions.
Had he fought Conor 2.0 he would´ve been dead.

 

[Brodie]

He's old, he doesn't care about legacy like sherbro nerds, and he got paid like a UFC champ anyway.

 

[Area809]

You will either catch shit for scheming your matchups or catch shit for taking on the next best challenge. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

 

[chick magnet punk]

He was desperate for money probably, he fights once a year. He needed that money.

 

[OneManOrgy]

12 fight win streak
Still takes the fight
BECAUSE HE's A FUCKING MAN, A FUCKING FIGHTER, HE IS THE DEFINITION OF A WARRIOR.

MONEY!? Shut the fuck up

 

[Kryptt]

You either catch shit for scheming your matchups or taking on the next best challenge. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

Pretty much how I feel. How (much) long(er) was he just supposed to sit out?

He will be back, may not get a shot at the belt, but I firmly believe there is still plenty of fight in Tony.

As long as he’s content with his decision, I don’t see a problem with it. He didn’t get this far by being cautious. Tony is a madman.

so tony is taking fights to convey the fans that he is a though guy
ok

maybe michael phelp kept competing to convey his fans that he knows how to swim

because he is a true fighter?

unlike jones or conor?

i have 0 doubts about it
if anything, we will see a more refined tony

technique and execution is whats speaks mostly in martial arts, both ofc can be improved

 

[Austinus]

Because Tony Ferguson's the type of guy to throw away a title shot to look tough.

 

[MescalineDreams]

Because he is a fighter.

Unlike some leprechaun charlatans.

didn't that leprechaun fight khabib after 2 years off

I understand not liking the dude but when people try to act like he isn't a fighter or he's scared to fight people, I cringe a little bit

he's made some ballsy moves throughout his career if you look closely. it's one of the main reason why Dana respects him

 

[medium rare]

so tony is taking fights to convey the fans that he is a though guy

He actually is

Which is why he was retarded enough to cut weight twice in one month when he didn't have to

 

[ijngf]

Because he goes out of his way to do the easiest tasks in the hardest way possible and it backfired.

He likes the hell mode?

No title shot ever again?
