It would not be wrong to say that Tony Ferguson’s fans have missed seeing him in action. His last fight was against Beneil Dariush on the 15th of May, 2021. Unfortunately, Tony Ferguson has lost back-to-back fights against Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira, and then Dariush. Thus, it was a bit of a rough patch for the fighter.

In a recent video, White was seen talking about Ferguson. He said, “I think, I think we have a fight for Tony Ferguson. I think we have him lined up with somebody.”

When asked whether it would be a fun fight, White replied positively. He said, “Yeah, I mean, they’re all fun. Look at tonight. … Even the cards that get doubted are usually the best cards, you know ever.”

While fans are already excited about seeing ‘El Cucuy’ in the ring, it seems that he might fight against one of Ali Abdelaziz’s clients from the lightweight division. The famous manager works with several fighters like Justin Gaethje, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, to name a few.

In a recent tweet, Abdelaziz wrote, “@TonyFergusonXT”.
