Tony could not take a single round in a fight with a monotonous veteran.
The result of the main fight of the UFC 279 tournament, held in Las Vegas, was not a big surprise for most martial arts fans. Nate Diaz defeated Tony Ferguson by guillotine in the 4th round. The confrontation between the two legends of martial arts caused only depressing emotions, but the inglorious decline of the career of the famous El Cucuy brings even more sadness.
Ferguson suffered the fifth defeat in a row, but after him he said that he was not going to stop …
El Cucuy defeated again
Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson found out that they would meet in a head-to-head fight just a day before the start of the tournament. The UFC decided to change pairs due to the failed weighing of Khamzat Chimaev, with whom Diaz was supposed to fight. Ferguson’s rivals included Chinese fighter Li Jingliang. After the news of the change of opponent, Nate said that he did not understand at all how to fight El Kukuy, as he was preparing to meet with a Chechen fighter.
Nevertheless, Diaz chose the tactics for the fight with Ferguson that were absolutely familiar to him – boxing work at the lowest possible pace with constant mockery of the opponent. By and large, they didn’t expect anything else from Nate, which can’t be said about El Cucuy, famous for his diverse arsenal and brilliant combat. In his last fight with Michael Chandler, Tony lost by a terrible knockout, but before the fatal blow he fought and looked amazing for a veteran.
A repetition of the performance from Ferguson was also expected in the fight with Diaz, but the fans from Tony saw nothing but good low kicks and rare hits from the hands. In his past four fights, El Cucuy lost to the monsters of the lightweight division, so the fans were indulgent about the depressing streak of a fighter who once went on a streak of 12 wins in a row. A duel with a 37-year-old fighter, and even a welterweight, on paper looked like a real chance for Ferguson to finish his career beautifully, or at least return to the winning track.
As a result, Tony lost to Diaz in three rounds, and in the fourth he fell into a crookedly executed guillotine. It is terrible to imagine what a younger and more motivated Jingliang could do with Ferguson.

Impressions from the sad outcome of the fight for the 38-year-old Ferguson, in fact, would have quickly subsided if Tony had told the fans after the fight that he would finally hang up his gloves on a nail. However, El Cucuy decided not to change his image of a crazy fighter and said that he was going to correct his mistakes and return to the octagon.
The athlete’s desire to finally win the long-awaited victory can be understood, even after a terrible knockout in the fight with Chandler, many came to the conclusion that it’s too early to bury Ferguson’s career, and he should get age fighters not from the top 10 lightweight or welterweight. It was such a fight that El Kukuyu was given in the end, but the fight shown by him suggests that if the head of the UFC, Dana White, decides to give Tony another opponent, the maximum age and far from good condition, the sad series of defeats can still continue …

Ukrainian heavyweight Alexander Usik told how he raises children. The athlete and his wife Ekaterina have four children.
“It seems to me that children need to be forced to do some things until the age of 14-15. Because when they say give the child a choice, he will choose not to do anything.”
“With children, everything is simple: I help them. I must raise my children in such a way that when they reach adulthood, they can live without my help. Yes, I can be somewhere and help them. But so that they also have a job of their own.”
“We need to load them up, give them the language, educate them, travel. You definitely need to do that. Someone says: We can’t travel abroad. This is all nonsense. You can’t go abroad, but you can travel around the country because we have so many beautiful places. Just go somewhere where there is a river or something. The kids see that you are interested in something. I go to training with them, I talk, eat, drink, walk or just sit and watch how they communicate with each other, what they do. Tell them what interests them,” he said. Usik.

CHISORA: “What kind of courage are we talking about? This boxer did not go to fight for his country.”
British heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora He spoke harshly about Jake Paul’s courage following his fight with Anthony Joshua. In a debate with heavyweight Vidall Riley, Chisora challenged Paul’s argument that he showed courage by entering the ring.
“What Paul did was not brave. He did not go to fight for his country. When he went to defend his state at the front, that is courage.”
What kind of courage is Paul talking about? He ran away in the first round and when he didn’t have enough strength to run, Joshua broke his jaw,” Chisora said.

Ukrainian boxer Alexander Usik said that he invested the money he earned from sports into business life.
“I have a small business right now. I have a company called Ready2Fight that doesn’t just work with boxing. What do we do? As promoters, we can guide the athlete – legal decisions, managerial decisions. Find trainers, doctors. So create a team. We also do things for sports and equipment.”
“We do some construction. I invest a little in hot construction. There is a glass processing plant. And of course, some valuable papers, special cars. I am a little more interested in the business world than, say, five years ago.”
“Because I understand that I earn money and they also have to work, they just buy themselves some diamonds, gold or something and get high. I’m not that kind of person, I don’t really like to show off,” Usik said.
