PHOENIX – It took some self-convincing for Tony Ferguson to get back to a point where he was ready to fight again. Now that he’s here, he’s speaking his mind.
Ferguson held court Wednesday for an extended period – the first time in a long time – during UFC 274 media day. His session lasted nearly 25 minutes, much longer than the rest of the fighers who took the podium. A lot of the classic Ferguson quirks were present. “El Cucuy” led off with a smile and “Sup, f*ckers?” before he flipped the chair around, straddled it and looked out into the media pool through his sunglasses.
But something was a tad different, or perhaps more pronounced than before: his frustration.
