Right after Conor McGregor, the next coach for TUF stepped up on social media and announced himself. Although the MMA world rose with the high tide and hype of McGregor versus Khabib Nurmagomedov, the fans never forgot the warrior with Mexican heritage who stood straight against ‘The Notorious’. However, the two never faced each other inside the Octagon. Yet, the heat they generated was, in fact, volcanic. The Ultimate Fighter acted as an entrance for most of the fighters, including McGregor and the one he would coach against.

Tony Ferguson has taken the reins to coach against the ‘Mystic Man’ in the upcoming season of TUF. The coach took to social media and declared his presence while bringing out the best of his trash talk and building up the hype. Without a doubt, most of the MMA fans revealed how much they would love the competition. The rivalry many fans dreamed about would finally come true.

A day before Ferguson’s great revelation, the Irishman declared that he had been chosen as a coach for the TUF on social media. To confirm the claim, Dana White shared the post on his Instagram story, thereby raising the fans’ spirits.
