Tony Ferguson didn’t hold back when a UFC star asked to grapple with him.
Throughout his time in combat sports, ‘El Cucuy’ has proved his talent beyond doubt.
In addition, he’s never shied away from engaging in trash-talk, with Ferguson recently reigniting his feud with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
And recently, another talented competitor felt the American’s wrath.
WOW: Tony Ferguson teases move to new sport after Misfits boxing debut vs. Salt Papi
Tony Ferguson sent Arman Tsarukyan a warning
On Saturday evening, Tony Ferguson will fight Salt Papi in a boxing match at Misfits 22, inside the AO Arena in Manchester, UK.
However, while the warrior is focusing on the sweet science for now, he isn’t opposed to doing other things, especially after his encounter with Arman Tsarukyan.
In an interview with MMA Fighting, he said: “When it goes into MMA, the chance presents itself, and it does interest me, because I don’t have to do it. We walked away, handshakes, and if that presents itself and it makes sense, yeah, we’re going to do it. But right now the focus is boxing.
“Arman Tsarukyan, when we were over and I was doing the Real Fights (reality series), I was over there in Thailand, and I don’t know if you got to see it, people were trying to take me down. One person tried to take me down, and it wasn’t on film.
“I accidentally snapped his arm. He got an underhook, and I snapped his arm. Pulled him in and I threw him in an uchi mata, landed on him, and I walked away, and I went and I hosted a match. It was fast. I did it really quick.
“MMA was one of those ways for me to be able to demonstrate and hone all my talents into one thing. This is another opportunity for me to express myself.
“When I was out there, Arman was like ‘Let’s grapple.’ I was like, ‘You don’t want to grapple me.’ He’s like ‘Why?’ [I replied] ‘Because I’ll take your ranking’.”
