The 36-year-old fighter endured the “armbar”, but lost to Charles Oliveira on points
Former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion Tony Ferguson has spoken out about his loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 256.
Recall that in a difficult duel Ferguson lost by unanimous decision. During the fight, Oliveira gave his opponent a painful hold – the elbow lever, but Tony did not give up and withstood it.
After the fight, the American showed the state of his hand.
“No excuses, I lost. Instead of defending myself, I took the damage.
After the fight, we were checked by doctors, I returned to the hotel and was ready to train again, because the fight was stuck in my head, plus I needed blood circulation in my arm. I had to find out what was the problem in the fight.
My arm after the elbow lever is fine. Psychological stability allowed me to endure the pain. I am grateful because I learned a lot about myself this year. I don’t stop chasing greatness. I’m far from the end of my career, it’s time for the haters to understand this, ”Ferguson wrote.
Note that after the fight, Ferguson was criticized by UFC head Dana White. Tony has lost two fights in a row.
