On Monday, things kicked off on social media between Tony Ferguson and Al Iaquinta, and the two lightweight standouts are still at each other’s throats.
Iaquinta took the bait when Ferguson, 34, subtly dissed him in a tweet that was aimed primarily at newly-crowned lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who beat ‘Raging Al’ in a short-notice title bout at UFC 223.
Ferguson didn’t take kindly to being called a ‘weirdo’, and the two fighters continued trade shots on Twitter, with Iaquinta mocking ‘El Cucuy’ for the ‘freak’ circumstances that led to his withdrawal from UFC 223.
