Tony Ferguson opens up about his UFC 291 loss to Bobby Green !
Tony Ferguson (25-9 MMA, 15-7 UFC) suffered his sixth consecutive loss on Saturday at UFC 291 when he was defeated by Bobby Green (30-15-1 MMA, 11-9-1 UFC) in their lightweight bout at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Despite showing promise in the opening minutes, Ferguson faced a setback when he suffered an eye poke from Green, causing a halt in the action.
The fight resumed, and as time went on, Green gained momentum and ultimately finished the fight with only seconds remaining in the final round. The aftermath of the bout has been tough on Ferguson, with many in the MMA community calling for the 39-year-old to retire from the sport.
However, Ferguson doesn’t seem to have retirement plans just yet. In a statement shared on his social media, he revealed that he was “significantly” compromised by the eye poke but decided not to request the fight to be declared a no contest and pushed through.
Despite his recent losses, Ferguson remains determined to come back stronger. MMA fans eagerly await to see what the future holds for the talented fighter.
