UFC 274 video: Ferguson fakes ankle pick on Chandler after staredown
Tony Ferguson and Michael Chandler come face-to-face at the UFC 274 pre-fight press conference.
UFC veteran and fan-favorite Tony Ferguson knows how to get a crowd going.
If he’s not breakdancing or calling his boss a “drug dealer”, ‘El Cucuy’ is pretending to ankle pick UFC 274 opponent Michael Chandler to hype the fight.
That’s right, the former UFC interim lightweight champ faked a takedown on ‘Iron Mike’ following their intense staredown at yesterday’s pre-fight press conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
The video already has over 242,000 views on YouTube — check it out below.
Ferguson and Chandler will collide on tomorrow night’s UFC 274 main card at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Ferguson will look to snap his three-fight losing skid and possibly re-enter title contention while one-time UFC title challenger Chandler will be looking to bounce back from recent losses to Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje.
Chandler is currently #5 in the UFC lightweight rankings while Ferguson is #7.
