All business: Tony Ferguson taking his training to new heights … in jeans

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, it turns out Tony Ferguson is yet to exercise all the training methods.

We might be in the middle of a global pandemic, but that won’t stop Ferguson from training in preparation for his title fight vs. champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 249.

Or what he considers active rest after a business trip. I mean he’s still in his jeans, and he’s jumping and rolling all over the place.

Will the fifth time be the charm? I guess people weren’t joking when they said wrap Ferguson and Nurmagomedov in bubble wrap until the fight. That, unfortunately. could not be more accurate.

But in the meantime, don’t expect Ferguson to tone down his training methods, despite many adamant that this fight is cursed.

UFC 249 is still tentatively scheduled for April 18, though UFC president Dana White recently revealed it’s not likely to take place at its originally scheduled location of Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
