Tony Ferguson is kicking off 2025 by hinting at a fight booked.
Ferguson (25-11 MMA, 15-9 UFC) suffered a UFC-record eight-straight losses when he was submitted by Michael Chiesa this past August at UFC on ABC 7. Despite his struggles, the former interim lightweight champion refused to commit to retirement.
UFC CEO Dana White urged Ferguson to hang up his gloves, but his future with the company remains unknown. Either way, it appears Ferguson is gearing up for a fight.
“‘Completely Destroyed Myself,.. To Re-Invent It’ As an Artist I Aim To show Something You’ve Never Seen Before. Happy New Year Crew 2025 in my sights- Champ -CSO- # Stay Tuned & Watch The Magic Unfold New Missions Acknowledged # MrDestiny Fight News Coming Soon ”
Ferguson was once owner of one of the longest winning streaks in company history when he won 12 straight en route to become interim UFC lightweight champion.
If the octagon is no longer Ferguson’s home, could he be talking about the Global Fight League? The GFL has picked up numerous notable MMA names – including the likes of Paige VanZant, Luke Rockhold, Alexander Gustafsson, Tyron Woodley, Anthony Pettis, Wanderlei Silva and Fabricio Werdum.
