‘El Cucuy’ was involved in a similar incident recently. He took on to Twitter and replied hilariously to a fan who called him ‘beaten’ and ‘aged’.

It was in response to the fan throwing shade on Michael ‘Iron’ Chandler. The fan pointed out the mediocre UFC record of Chandler, saying that he does not deserve to fight against Conor ‘The Notorious’ McGregor because every time he has fought someone decent and on top of the division, they have put him away. And fighting Ferguson was like facing someone beat up and old.

However, Ferguson was quick to hit back.

Against Tony Ferguson, Michael Chandler looked deadly and up to speed, knocking him out with a vicious head kick. Chandler has got what it takes to stay in the promotion and be entertaining, but perhaps he wants more, being a former champion of Bellator, his previous promotion.
