Tony Ferguson on Why He Went Through with Weight Cut: ‘That Says a Lot More for My Stock’

If it wasn’t clear already, Tony Ferguson isn’t like most normal human beings.

The UFC lightweight contender completed a successful weight cut on Friday, sharing the results (he hit 155 on the nose) on social media. Many questioned why Ferguson would go through such a grueling process when his interim title clash against Justin Gaethje had already been postponed from April 18 to May 9.

"It wasn't just for me -- it was for my team, man, and my sponsors and obviously for my family," Ferguson told ESPN.
