MMA is full of characters, but Tony Ferguson is on a whole other level. Whether it’s his very unique training techniques, or his insistence on capitalizing the first letter of every word he types on social media, he’s always bringing something a bit different to the table. So it should come as no surprise that El Cucuy decided to make weight for a fight that isn’t actually happening tomorrow.
UFC 249 was supposed to go down on April 18th, and he was supposed to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov. When Khabib couldn’t get out of Russia, he was supposed to fight Justin Gaethje instead.
