Will UFC’s ‘Notorious’ antics ever come to an end? Although we aren’t sure if the UFC star Conor McGregor will stop calling out one fighter after another – one thing is for sure. The list of the Irishman’s wished-for fights will keep adding up, until he’s back in the Octagon. After calling out numerous opponents – from retired UFC veteran Nate Diaz to BMF champ Justin Gaethje, there’s another veteran who has made it to ‘The Notorious’s list.

Guess who? It’s none other than UFC veteran and TUF 13 winner Tony Ferguson, ak. ‘The Boogeyman.’ Although far from his prime fighting shape, the name ‘El Cucuy’ still invokes some fear in his rivals, who dare challenge him. Recently, Ferguson made headlines after his return to the UFC’s Lightweight division at UFC 291, where he clashed with Bobby Green. However, it looks like Ferguson’s loss has not burdened the ‘Boogeyman’ – as he still continues to train and prepare for his next potential fight. But his recent training clips have landed him on the ‘notorious’ side of the Irishman. How? Let’s find out!

Although this comes as a surprise to many call-outs like this are quite the norm for the Irish superstar. Moreover, the reference to ‘Notorious’s last words “I’ve not forgot” may find its roots in a scuffle that the pair got into, way back during the UFC 274 fight week. How? After Ferguson was handed a second-round KO by his rival Michael Chandler, things took a turn for the worse.
