Tony Ferguson is the first athlete to make it through David Goggins’ intense week-long training camp.

Appropriately dubbed “hell week” by the ex-U.S. Navy Seal and ultramarathon runner, Goggins is an extreme athlete known for taking his proteges through a brutal training regimen designed to take them to the limit, and then push beyond it.

Earlier this week, Goggins and Ferguson were seen training alongside one another on social media in a video that sparked a backlash with many online users suggesting that Goggins’ training methods were unhealthy. Goggins snapped back at the “stupid comments” from UFC fans claiming their criticism was fueled by a lack of education on the subject matter.
