Tony Ferguson faced an unfortunate defeat at the hands of Justin Gaethje at UFC 249. There was a lot of chatter about how his team shouldn’t have let him walk into the latter rounds of the fight in the condition he was. One of his coaches gets real about how he felt looking at Tony Ferguson in that state.

Eddie Bravo was n Joe Rogan’s podcast and gave us a firsthand of how it was being at this “weird” UFC event. He spoke in-depth on how the coaching staff and Tony’s entire team reacted to the situation at hand. Why they didn’t throw in the towel and the state Tony was in through the fight as the rounds went by.

Eddie Bravo against his will had to step into the octagon at the end of the 4th round to tend to Tony Ferguson and get him ready for the final round of the fight. He described what he saw and how he felt at that exact moment.

He said, “Right when the bell rang after the fourth round, Rashad turns around and goes ‘Eddie get In there’ and I wasn’t ready for it man! This is the fourth round and he’s[Tony Ferguson] hurt. I didn’t realize how cut up he was until I walked up to him. I was like ‘Okay I’m supposed to give him advice?’ It was a mistake for me to go in there. It was a mistake for sure.”

Tony Ferguson was in a worse state than he expected

Bravo said it wasn’t his place to be. Especially when it was that crucial a moment. He said no one but the head coach or the striking coach should have gone in there keeping in mind that the new rules allowed only one coach in.

He added, “I’m going in there and at this point, he’s hurt and cut up. A lot of things are swirling through my head and I’m thinking ‘What is the best advice here?’ And it’s so quiet! And it was just so weird. I walk in and the first thing I notice is he’s cut up more than I could see from my vantage point. Maybe the best thing to do then was to stay on the outside and get through this with no more damage. I froze.”
