Tony Ferguson Reveals Why He Called “Punk A**” Nathan Diaz His B****

The UFC lightweight division has seen some real superstars these past few years. It started with the rise of Conor McGregor and continued with Nate Diaz. Finally, Khabib Nurmagomedov took over while the rest of the stars like Tony Ferguson and Dustin Poirier quietly kept logging victories.

Now, when Khabib has retired and vacated his lightweight title, it’s the time for somebody to step up. UFC 262 will be the place where the fans will find out who will be the new champion. Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler are fighting for the title in the main event.

Additionally, Tony Ferguson is fighting Beneil Dariush on the main card, and Nate Diaz is fighting Leon Edwards. It’s one of the most stacked cards in recent memory. Tony Ferguson appeared on the YouTube show Submission Radio and talked about his working relationship with Nate Diaz.

The reporter said that there were some exciting fights for the lightweight division, and Ferguson agreed. “I think that there’s (an) exciting fight in the division.

“We all know who really sold the card out. It definitely wasn’t Nate’s punk a**. Just come out of nowhere like a bunch of turtles. I love it,” he said.

This tied in with Ferguson’s original tweet where he called Nate Diaz his b****. The reporter brought his attention to it and asked him why Diaz was his b****, to which Ferguson sniggered. “Oh, he always has,” he answered.

He also went on to say that Nate was a solid guy, and he likes teasing him. “There’s just some shit-talking, some light banter, man.

“I got nothing against the dude. He’s a good solid dude, but when it comes down to the scrap game, it’s like, come on, put him up,” he concluded.

It was an interesting revelation from a guy who doesn’t really compliment anyone. Well, Nate is one hell of a guy, and he has Tony Ferguson’s badge of approval.
