Having labelled Michael Chandler of carrying ‘Dana White privilege’ at the UFC 262 presser, Tony has issued a fresh warning to him
Tony Ferguson stole the show at the UFC 262 press conference with his famous ‘Dana White privilege’ tag, which left everyone including the UFC president in splits.
Although the statement was taken in good spirits, there seems to be an underlying gravity to the matter that is bothering ‘El Cucuy’. He made his concern very clear in his latest Instagram post that compares the unfair nature of the business.
Ferguson wrote, taking a subtle dig at UFC President White:
“White🥇Listed” See👁Ewe👁Soon- Champ 🚣♂️💨🍃 -CSO- 🇺🇸🏆🇲🇽 # Comin’ForIt 📈 Link In Bio To Get On My White List 👕 *Time4Work* 🐎.”
It is rumored that a potential fight between the two is under work. Both the fighters have lost a couple of their last fights, although Michael Chandler’s defeat came at the hands of the current champion and former interim champion. A fight against Chandler can prove as the right motivation for Tony who is still a massive crowd favourite.
It looks like the UFC is working to set up a fight between lightweights, Michael Chandler and Tony Ferguson.
In a recent Fan Q&A session hosted by ESPN’s Laura Sanko, UFC President Dana White broke the news of the same.
While the bossman sounded frustrated about the reporters picking up half-baked news, he did sound like the fight was close to being made official.
