Tony Ferguson apparently experienced some cornering issues during his brutal loss to Charles Oliveira in the co-main event of UFC 256 on December 12. “El Cucuy” wrote about it, uniquely as always, on his social network.
Business Learning Experiences
Make Sure Your Crew Has All The Tools They Need To Get The Job Done Right During Fight Week. Make Sure Cornermen Know Who Is Appointed Captain/Corner Before Fight. Wait,.. Here We Go.
How About Middle of UFC 256 between 1st-2nd Round Trying To Figure Out Why Your Appointed Cornermen Wasn’t There W/ You Talking Game Plans From Camp. Wtf
Backstage One Of My Trusted Cornermen Lied to the others and said I said it was ok for them to take charge when I was getting changed. Completely Opposite What My Request Was Earlier To The Whole Team. This Person Was barely There At All Pre, & During Fight Week (Hadn’t Reviewed Gameplans Etc. So It Didn’t Make Sense.) As A Team It Was Noted. The Guy Basically bullied the others with seniority behind The scenes & Took position when UFC asked my team who was in charge. They Mic’d him up & there it went.
That person was such a good coach they forgot to bring me water in between rounds. Thanks Tommy for getting it to me.

Corners Never Forget The Basics. Ice, Water. DIRECTIONS. Period.

Inside & Outside Of The Octagon I Will Not Tolerate Ego. That’s grounds for expulsion from The Academy. There Is No I in Team. That Person’s Trainer/Corner/Coach Position Is Available To A Deserving Person.
-Teamwork Makes The Dreamwork-
Ferguson also noted that it is important to stretch.

For his part, Oliveira used some of his winnings to provide food for people his community devastated by the COVID-19 global pandemic.
