Ferguson: I’m the boogeyman, McNugget is a f@$%ing buster

Tony Ferguson returned to Submission Radio and spit harsh words about fellow top UFC lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov and division champion Conor McGregor. El Cucuy was initially triggered by Nurmagomedov’s promise to break his arm.

“I love holding my son. I love holding my kid and nothing is gonna f***ing stop me from holding my son,” said Ferguson. “So you can threaten me, Khabib, but that’s not what you wanna f***ing do to me, because I’m not the guy to threaten.

This dude’s gonna get knocked out by my f***ing jab. He’s not even going to get a chance to f***ing get to the ground. Because if it does get to the ground, I’m gonna choke his ass out. I’m gonna choke his ass out harder than I did Edson Barbosa or anybody else. I was nice, now I just want to put this f***er to sleep. You want to break my arm? I’ll be nice. I’ll give you a chance to tap. But if not, I’ll let you go and I’ll beat the s*** out of you and then I’ll put you back to my submission. I’m not playing with you Khabib. You f***ing threaten me one more time dude, I swear dude it’s over.

“I’m gonna knock this dude out. Even if I don’t knock him out, I’m gonna 5-point throw him. And in my kind of wrestling, that’s a badass throw. So (in) sambo if you get thrown from your feet to your back, that means you just got your ass whooped. So if I throwing you Khabib from your feet to your ass, dude I just schooled you in Sambo. And then I’m gonna school you in MMA by beating you up. And then once you give me that neck, then I’m gonna submit you and then I’m gonna be better at Jiu-Jitsu. So then you have absolutely no f***ing excuse and you’re gonna go pout to your pop and then you’re gonna try to go back to the drawing board and you’re going to have to admit to 1.4 or 1.5 million people how you suck at boxing and how your sambo and Jiu-Jitsu is piss poor to my Jiu Jitsu and my wrestling.

Ferguson and Nurmagomedov fight for the Interim title at UFC 209 on March 4. Division champion Conor McGregor is out until May when he and longtime partner Dee Devlin are expecting their first child, a boy. Some fans say the winner at UFC 209 isn’t the real champion.

“Well either way, we’re the toughest sons of bitches in the division right now,” replied Ferguson. “Because money made McNugget soft and we all know that. That dude, he wants to call himself the ghost, but he’s gonna fade like a ghost cause he’s a f***ing buster. Straight up, dude. That dude’s fake as f***. So regardless of what he decides to do, it’s what myself or Khabib decide to do with the belt.

“Because that dude’s like, he’s trying to quit. He’s trying to look for excuses on his way out. He doesn’t want to f***ing be in a man’s division. He might as well try to cut to 145 and lost that belt. Now he’s got to bulls*** and try to make excuses for the 155-pound belt. But when one of us has that belt, which is gonna be me, then he’s gonna [have] a hard as f*** time trying to go on his way to victory. Because when you’re facing the boogeyman, you’re facing something kind of different.

“And both these guys don’t f***ing get it. I don’t care who you have around you or who’s holding you back from throwing chairs and water bottles, when you’re locked inside that octagon with me, ain’t nothing gonna hold me back from getting you besides that referee. So I don’t care what belt he’s got. Straight up, I don’t care what belt is in my hands, that will be the real belt no matter what.

You want to see McGregor get his ass kicked by T-Ferg. That’s what you want to see. You want to see a stylisticly good fight. You want to see it go back and forth and talking s***, because I’m that dude that won’t back down. You thought Nate was funny? Dude, I would have said everything. You guys haven’t seen s*** yet. And Khabib doesn’t even deserve to get the full mouth on me for this one. F*** that. No way, dude. This one’s personal. So if he wants to nit-pick and say he wants to break my arm and do all this, imagine what Conor would say and how much hype that s*** would get. You want to see Mayweather do that? Mayweather is gonna knock his ass out. Mayweather’s too much for him and he already knows that s*** too and the rest of the boxing world knows that. I know who to put my money on in that one. But the real fight that everyone wants to see – and who doesn’t know who to put their money on – would be the McGregor/Ferguson fight. Why? Cause I’m gonna smash that fool. I’m gonna submit him. You already saw him being submitted. That dude tapped before he even got the choke locked in. So I don’t know, man. I don’t even know if I would want to waste my time on that kind of dude. He doesn’t meet my fight standards. The only dude right now that meets it is Khabib.

“As soon as he gets hit by my jab, he’s gonna be tasting nickels and dimes and that acidic taste in his mouth and he’s gonna try to shoot in and give me that neck. I’ll put him in Snapdown City and then that’s it, it’s going to be over. And I won’t tell you what round, I’m not even trying. Because the last fight, that one felt like sparring for me. But this guy, I want to go in there and I want to finish him. So regardless if it’s quick or if it goes all five rounds, he’s gonna be punished and he’s gonna learn a lesson or two in respect. And he wants to try and break my arm? I’m not gonna try and break his arm, but I’m gonna break his spirit and his will and I’m gonna send him home crying.”
