After the conference, Brett Okamoto took a solo interview with Ferguson and asked him about the animosity during the conference. “No, I just think he is too nonchalant,” Ferguson said.
“He f*cking throws everything like this a joke. I don’t play like that, I don’t play like that with his team you know, his management and everybody else they try to do things.”
He added further, “I said the exact things I needed to say to him and his team. I’m gonna go out there as much I possibly can, and they better got him f*cking ready man. So UFC 262, coming at you hard.”
‘El Cucuy’ got to know that Dariush helped Justin Gaethje prepare for the fight against him, which he lost at UFC 249. The defeat also ended his 12 fight winning streak, and he had a go at Dariush for the same.
