Tony Ferguson reflects on the end of his UFC journey

Since his UFC debut, Tony Ferguson enjoyed an impressive run until he faced Justin Gaethje at UFC 249 in May 2020. Following that fight, Ferguson went on a streak of eight consecutive losses before leaving the promotion in 2025.

Months ago, during a conversation with Ariel Helwani, 'El Cucuy' reflected on his experience of leaving the UFC. Expressing his contentment with that, Ferguson said:

"I have to tell you, I packed up all my UFC stuff and put it into bags. It was the hardest f*cking thing I had to do. It was a couple of days where it took time for me to be able to adjust. I put everything in big storage bags, and I was ready to move on… This entire process hasn’t been a disappointment, but it has been a learning experience."
