Tony Ferguson accuses Daniel Cormier of taking cocaine after row over weigh-in

Tony Ferguson has accused former UFC champion Daniel Cormier of using cocaine whilst criticising him for a controversial weigh-in during his fighting career.

Ferguson has been trading words with Cormier after their tense interview before his fight against Michael Chandler at UFC 274 last weekend. Cormier is a teammate of Ferguson's longtime rival, former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Five years ago, Cormier controversially weighed in for his UFC 210 rematch with Anthony Johnson by appearing to push down on a towel. This technique can manipulate a scale to read less than someone actually weighs, potentially explaining how Cormier lost 1.2lbs in a matter of seconds.
