Tony went on ‘Instagram Live ‘ to display his reaction after the defeat. He shared, “We’re not gonna waste any energy here, and you guys shouldn’t either in Jiu-Jitsu matches, Just be patient and wait for the opportunity for him to advance and get so lazy that in the third round he doesn’t even advance to mount anymore.”

Tony even went on to call Charles, mentally broken. He said, “What he does is he stays controlled into side position looking for something completely different, a different move because he was mentally broken in the first round.”

People also speculated that UFC might remove him from the organization. To this, the American lightweight replied, “So a question for John McCarthy and The Punk, no I’m not getting f*cking cut, Josh, come on dog, you got your a*s kicked. Don’t start that sh*t. The fans love me. They want to see me fight again. And I love you guys too.”

Tony is currently on a three-fight losing streak and is looking for a worthy opponent. Ferguson is very interested in fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov as he keeps on calling out the former champ numerously on Twitter.
