UFC lightweight contenders Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje get heated on Twitter
Justin Gaethje has promised to break Tony Ferguson’s legs.
Top UFC lightweight contender Tony Ferguson has a bullseye on his head.
Last week, ‘El Cucuy’ was targeted by former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum at a UFC media scrum, with ‘Vai Cavalo’ having to be removed from event.
Ferguson also got into it with fellow lightweight contender Justin Gaethje, who battered Michael Johnson this past July.
Gaethje promised to break Ferguson’s legs and Ferugson fired back by threatening to end his career.
The two went at it on social media in a heated exchange.
