With his amazing mixed martial arts career, Tony Ferguson is known for his entertaining persona in the UFC. The 39-year-old has been a fans entertainer for many years now. However, sometimes, ‘El Cucuy’ takes things too far on social media. Since his last loss against Nate Diaz in 2021, Ferguson has been inactive in the promotion. However, the same cannot be said about his social media accounts. Ferguson regularly posts and also takes a dig at his fellow UFC fighters. This time, he did the same.
‘El Cucuy’ is already known for his hatred towards the UFC Hall of Famer and former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, this time around, he took a dig at Conor McGregor and UFC president Dana White as well.

However, Ferguson’s resentment of White isn’t new, as he has had his differences with the UFC president. It seemed like the ‘El Cucuy’ wasn’t going to stop soon, as in another tweet, he targeted his rival Khabib Nurmagomedov and his manager Ali Abdelaziz.

Later, Nurmagomedov retired from the competition. This upset ‘El Cucuy’ and he has been taking a dig at him on social media. However, in a recent tweet, Ferguson accused Nurmagomedov and his manager of not paying him money.
