It was in response to the fan throwing shade on Michael ‘Iron’ Chandler. The fan pointed out the mediocre UFC record of Chandler, saying that he does not deserve to fight against Conor ‘The Notorious’ McGregor because every time he has fought someone decent and on top of the division, they have put him away. And fighting Ferguson was like facing someone beat up and old.
However, Ferguson was quick to hit back.

Against Tony Ferguson, Michael Chandler looked deadly and up to speed, knocking him out with a vicious head kick. Chandler has got what it takes to stay in the promotion and be entertaining, but perhaps he wants more, being a former champion of Bellator, his previous promotion.
The biggest trash talkers in the UFC
The UFC has been always blessed with loudmouths and entertainers. Ever since its conception, the UFC as a promotion has done fantastically well. It’s fighters been down to the fighters being able to entertain the audience and create hype around their fight.
Conor McGregor has always been one of the first names on everyone’s lips when it comes to this. Yet there were fighters in the promotion who used to entertain and create hype even before the ‘Mystic Mac’ joined the promotion. Sonnen was one of the first fighters to shut their opponent’s mouth. He used to have a response for everything thrown at him.
