Despite losing skid, Tony Ferguson doesn’t plan to retire anytime soon: ‘I’m barely hitting my prime’

SALT LAKE CITY – Tony Ferguson is convinced there are better days ahead in his fighting career.

The former UFC interim lightweight champion feels he’s very much in his prime, and new heights will be reached starting with Saturday’s return against Bobby Green (29-14-1 MMA, 10-9-1 UFC). The two compete in a lightweight bout on the pay-per-view main card of UFC 291 at Delta Center.

Despite a five-fight losing streak with his two more recent losses coming by stoppage, the 39-year-old Ferguson (25-8 MMA, 15-6 UFC) says he is still approaching the peak of his career.
