You can accurately describe UFC 249 headliner Tony Ferguson in many ways, but “conventional” isn’t one of them.
Known for his out-of-the-box training methods inside the gym, Ferguson (25-3 MMA, 15-1 UFC) is preparing for his UFC 249 clash with Khabib Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 13-0 UFC) in the sort of manner we’ve come to expect.
Over the past several days, Ferguson has posted a handful of training videos on Instagram. Among the videos, “El Cucuy” throws a baseball, slides around on a heavy bag, and dances in a compression therapy suit.
UFC 249 takes place April 18 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The main card streams on pay-per-view following prelims likely on ESPN and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.
