Tony Ferguson Is Still Blasting D.C., And D.C. Is Still Blasting Back

Tony Ferguson finally got his shot at the interim UFC lightweight belt last weekend in a grudge match against fellow contender Kevin Lee.

With an impressive submission victory, Ferguson achieved the interim title he has been striding for in the past months. That being said, the newly crowned interim champion appears to have entered an entirely different kind of battle with UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.

The two fighters have been feuding over Twitter today, with a new heated exchange to now be added to the list. This time, Daniel Cormier had a response for his verbal sparring opponent.

Here’s the earlier exchange:

Now in the latest in tweet-beef, Ferguson responded to a fans unrelated message by claiming that Daniel Cormier looked like the crying television character mentioned in the fan’s tweet. This was likely a prod at Cormier’s televised knockout loss to Jon Jones at UFC 214. On air, Cormier wept after the tough defeat. Of course the match was later overturned, as Jon Jones failed his UFC 214 drug test.

Responding to Ferguson’s message, Cormier stated:

“@TonyFergusonXT ur an idiot bud. Seriously ur over here worried about me. Celebrate ur accomplishment god knows it’s the biggest u have had”

Ferguson gave a single word response, “fake.”
