Den tidigare interim-mästaren i lättvikt Tony Ferguson förlorade på UFC 291 i Salt Lake City, Utah. Ferguson tog sig an UFC-veteranen Bobby Green på den stjärnspäckade galans huvudkort.
Ferguson stod för en bra första rond, men Green letade sig tillbaka in i matchen i den andra ronden. Green var betydligt snabbare än den 39-åriga UFC-stjärnan. I den tredje ronden lyckades Green att avsluta Ferguson via submission. Green ströp Ferguson medvetslös med en arm-triangle choke med endast sex sekunder kvar av matchen.
Förlusten på UFC 291 var Fergusons sjätte raka förlust i den världsledande MMA-organisationen. 39-åringen har blivit avslutad i fyra av dessa sex matcher. Många inom MMA-världen har uttryckt att Tony Ferguson borde gå i pension efter förlusten mot Green. Se reaktionerna nedan!

Tony Ferguson took a pretty bad eye poke, hope it doesn’t effect the rest of the fight #ufc291

Ferg had some moments but the end of that round was ugly for him. Better make some adjustments going into R2

I don’t agree with din Thomas there you can’t fight well out of position

Tony Ferguson the type of guy to give his opponent the dominant position to assert his dominance. #UFC291

People are focused on how much damage Ferguson has taken throughout his career when it comes to his decline. Perhaps of equal significance is the fact that he’s 39 YEARS OLD AT 155. #ufc291

Tony eats three shots before he can miss with one. #UFC291

As much fun as Prime Ferg was to watch he really needs to hang it up and find something else he wants to do in life ???

Bobby Green looked great tonight ???? #ufc291

The visuals of Bobby Green choking out Tony Ferguson were TOUGH to watch. Damn. #UFC291

What tough for Tony is that his style isn’t made for longevity. Will always be a fan. It’s time my friend. ? #UFC291

It’s only just finally sunk in that tony Ferguson is on a 6 fight losing streak which is one of the longest in UFC history. He was 25-3 at one point. It’s depressing to see. One of the biggest fall offs of all time #ufc

Brutal run. Tony Ferguson should just retire https://t.co/1znpNSygUR pic.twitter.com/NbpLXbTSA5

Tony Ferguson just can't Tony Ferguson anymore. There were flashes of old Tony, but nothing substantial. I hope he retires soon.

Bobby Green defeats Tony Ferguson via submission in the dying seconds of the third round. That's six losses in a row for him, four by stoppage.

Wait why Tony Ferguson never get his title shot when he was on a 12 fight winning streak ! ….. cold world #UFC291
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) July 30, 2023
No disrespect, this may be one of the saddest finishes I’ve ever watched in all my years of watching MMA. If there’s a silver lining, and this is his final fight….Tony Ferguson proved what we all knew he always had in him. No quit #UFC291 https://t.co/iG1pzo6Akx
