Anthony Armand Ferguson

Tony Ferguson is a renowned mixed martial artist and lightweight fighter. His unique fighting technique made him a tough opponent and won many rewards. Tony's fights are always very entertaining and he regularly receives bonuses for the best performance of the evening.

Anthony Armand Ferguson was born on February 12, 1984 in Oxnard, California. He is not familiar with his own father: immediately after the birth of his son, his mother Mary remarried. Scotsman Armand Ferguson raised the boy and gave him his last name.

When the future eminent athlete went to school, the family moved to Michigan, to Muskegon County, where his stepfather became the owner of the bar. Anthony grew up shy and uncommunicative, so Armand began to introduce him to sports early. Immediately after entering the new school, he took the boy to the boxing section, and later encouraged him to play basketball and rugby. Having become a professional fighter, the athlete, in an interview, thanked his stepfather for guiding him on the right path, and said that he owed him his career.

In high school, Tony began to make athletic successes, which helped him get a grant to enter Central Michigan University - the most prestigious educational institution in the state.

The young man chose the faculty, which trained specialists in the field of oil and gas, but after studying for 3.5 years, he left his studies. The reason was the death of his mother, which was a shock for Tony. To distract himself from the bitter thoughts, he plunged into training, and after a while abandoned his studies at the university.

Ferguson returned home to Muskegon and began helping his father at the bar. Once among the clients there was a man who invited him to the training center for MMA fighters, and Tony liked what he saw so much that he decided to try himself in this field of martial arts.

Despite a good base, at first, Ferguson had a hard time training: his muscles ached, he felt very sick, but this did not stop the future ring star. 2 months passed, and he went headlong into a new hobby, leaving his job as a bartender. In 2008, Anthony received his fighter's license and began competing in the welterweight division. Aggressive and peculiar fighting technique began to appear in his first performances. In the first 2 years of his career, Ferguson lost 2 of 12 fights.

In 2011, Tony was offered a contract with the UFC, the largest fighting organizer. He agreed and in the same year met Ramzi Nijem for the first time in the ring, knocking him out in the 1st round. Ferguson soon became a participant in the reality show The Ultimate Fighter and began training under the direction of Brock Lesnar.

The show helped him fully reveal his character and artistry. In the ring, Tony was considered a hot-tempered fighter, easily succumbed to provocations and quickly lost his temper. It was then that he took on the pseudonym El Cucuy - this is the name of the mystical ghostly monster that scares children in Latin American countries. His unique fighting technique is a combination of boxing techniques with "chips" borrowed from Jiu-Jitsu.

Although Ferguson competed in the 170-pound tournament on The Ultimate Fighter, he chose the lightweight for his regular UFC fights. Tony is 180 cm tall and weighs 70 kg. By October 2015, Anthony had 15 fights in the UFC, of ​​which 14 ended in victories. The only defeat with a score of 13: 3 he suffered from Michael Johnson. Most rivals Anthony either knocks out or incapacitates with suffocating techniques that he masterfully owns.

For his sports biography, Ferguson has never managed to defeat the Dagestani Khabib Nurmagomedov, and now, according to Anthony, this is his most coveted rival. With ex-champion Conor McGregor, Tony has a difficult relationship. On December 30, 2017, their fight was supposed to take place, but it was canceled - McGregor at the previous competition behaved aggressively towards the judge, and the UFC decided to punish the athlete in this way.

In 2018, the man fought with Anthony Pettis, the reigning MMA champion. The fight turned out to be fierce, blood poured on the flooring, but none of the participants wanted to give up. As a result, the referee removed Pettis after the second round, and Tony won by technical knockout. After the fight, Ferguson was diagnosed with a fracture of his right arm.

The athlete is married; he met his wife Christine while still a student. They played a wedding in 2012, and 4 years later a son was born. Anthony named him Armand after his stepfather. The family now lives in Los Santos, California, and Ferguson is trying to devote more time to his personal life, despite his intense training regimen.

In addition to sports, Anthony has another hobby - cars. He enjoys taking long trips with his family. In addition, the fighter has collected an impressive collection of edged weapons, most of which are gifts from fans and friends.

Tony maintains accounts on several social networks, including Twitter and Instagram, where he publishes photos from training and performances. The athlete has a tattoo on his arm, which is a sequence of letters TSKYH. According to the fighter, it stands for Think Strong Keep Your Head - "Always think and do not lose your head."

Ferguson's next opponent for the interim lightweight title was supposed to be Max Holloway. At the last minute, Tony was rejected. The next fight in the sports career of the American fighter took place in May 2019. Donald Cerrone became his rival. El Cucuy won the fight over two rounds. The third round was completed ahead of schedule at the request of the doctors: Cerrone suffered a serious eye injury. The performance of the fighters was recognized as the best fight of the evening.

Now talks have resumed about the fight between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov. UFC President Dana White says this with all seriousness. According to the promoter, the American goes on a streak of 12 straight wins. The Russian is also in great shape. But after the fight with Poirier, the Dagestani refrains from talking about the next opponent.

His manager Ali Abdel-Aziz is sure that Canadian Georges Saint-Pierre should go against Khabib. Although the fans assume that the fight with the "mad Ferguson" will be much more winning and profitable than the competition with the fighter who officially announced the end of his sports career.
