UFC 274 marked the return of Tony Ferguson. Looking to secure a long-awaited win after three consecutive losses, Ferguson could not turn things around and suffered a vicious knockout to Michael Chandler. While the night might have not gone in Ferguson’s favor, ‘El Cucuy’ had a lot to say about Joe Rogan and the commentary team.

Ferguson, while speaking to Ariel Helwani, said, “If you watch my Oliveira fight without the commentary, you can actually see the fights better…Because what ends up happening is that the commentary team gang up on people they don’t like. I never did a Joe Rogan interview before, I might, but because of that, obviously, he probably got bent out of shape on that one.”

‘El Cucuy’ also spoke about Rogan’s co-commentator, Daniel Cormier. Ferguson said, “Obviously with Cormier, with Khabib and I make my comments about fathead and him not making weight.” 

Why is Joe Rogan So Important to the UFC?

While Ferguson took a dig at the commentary team, ‘El Cucuy’ seems to be in the mood to take shots at former adversaries. Recently, Ferguson proposed an idea to his arch-rival.
