[autotag]Tony Ferguson[/autotag] is not one to just quit when things aren’t going his way.
Ferguson (25-6 MMA, 15-4 UFC) is currently enduring the roughest patch of his career, having dropped three straight lopsided decision losses, but the former UFC interim lightweight champion refuses to be deterred.
Following his most recent loss to Beneil Dariush at UFC 262 this past Saturday, Ferguson took to Twitter to shut down retirement claims, vowing that he’s not done just yet.

Ferguson’s durability was on incredible display yet again when he managed to tough it out of a deep heel hook from Dariush. But despite refusing to tap in that moment, Ferguson was controlled on the ground for the majority of the fight and now finds himself in unfamiliar territory after previously putting together one of the best winning streaks in UFC history. UFC president Dana White admitted that time may have gotten the best of Ferguson, but the 37-year-old insists he still has plenty of fight left in him.
