UFC lightweight contender Tony Ferguson is upset fellow contender Nate Diaz would not accept to fight him in July.
Ferguson recently shared his frustration on a recent edition of The MMA Hour.
“You have got no heart. You call yourself gangster? You’re backing out from a fight. Let’s go dude,” Ferguson said.
“We’ve got a main event that’s open that needs to be filled. So if you want to make some money and impress the fans, want to get back out there and sell your weed, that’s great. Sign on the dotted line and put your name back out in the crowd. Let’s go kid.”
In the past, Diaz has said he didn’t want to fight Ferguson because he didn’t want to do UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor’s dirty work.
“You’re a (expletive), I don’t know what his problem is,” Ferguson said. “I understand you said McGregor, I’m not going to do your dirty work for you. I don’t want to have to go into name calling, I don’t want to do that, but if you’re a fighter in this organization, and you said you’d rather go ride a bicycle, you got better things to do? That’s cute. That’s real cute.
“I might as well Stockton slap the (expletive) out of you. I’m from the 805, I’m tough. And I don’t have to talk about how tough I am, but I am a hell of a lot tougher than that dude.”
