Tony Ferguson hits back at UFC legend Daniel Cormier with "cheat" accusation

Tony Ferguson has criticised Daniel Cormier for 'cheating' during his UFC career after the former two-weight champion suggested he should retire.

UFC legend turned commentator Cormier stated Ferguson should finish his career after being submitted by Nate Diaz at UFC 279 to suffer his fifth consecutive loss. Cormier believes Ferguson is a "shell of himself" and was not impressed by his performance against Diaz, adding he has nothing left to prove in the sport.

Ferguson didn't take kindly to Cormier's comments and attacked him for 'cheating' during his controversial 2017 light-heavyweight title defence. In July, Cormier admitted to using a 'towel trick' to make weight for fight against Anthony Johnson at UFC 210 and Ferguson cited this when replying to Cormier's comments.
