Fans pray for Tony Ferguson's retirement amidst next fight announcement against Bobby Green

It was recently revealed that Tony Ferguson is set to face Bobby Green for his next assignment at UFC 291 on July 29 in Salt Lake City. UFC president Dana White recently announced the full main card of the event on his social media handles.

Headlined by a lightweight BMF title fight between Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje, UFC 291 will also feature Alex Pereira's light heavyweight debut along with Tony Ferguson's first fight since his fourth-round submission loss against Nate Diaz at UFC 279.

Considering 'El Cucuy's five-fight losing skid, fans were not optimistic about the former interim lightweight champion's chances against 'King.'

They took to the comments section under a fight announcement tweet by MMA Junkie and expressed their thoughts on the matchup.

One fan referred to Ferguson's recent losses and wrote:

"Tony can't move. His body is wrecked."

Another fan predicted a loss for 'El Cucuy' and wrote:

"Bobby Green by murder Round 2."

One user hoped Ferguson retired after the fight, writing:

"Praying Tony wins and can call it a career."

One fan wrote:

"This is fighter abuse. B.J. Penn all over again."

Another fan claimed:

"I’ll be rooting for him, but I dunno, man."

One user opined:

"He NEEDS to retire, and I'm not even trying to shit on him. We've all seen his last 6 fights.. bro is actually getting old, and it's showing in there."
