Former interim UFC lightweight champion Tony Ferguson reacted to the words of the promotion's executive director Dana White, who earlier expressed his hope that the American fighter will end his career regardless of the result of his fight with Michael Chiesa, which will take place on August 3 at UFC on ABC 7.
Well we want Dana to do a lot of s**t last for him too. So we can't discredit that one either. I don't feel like this is gonna be my last fight.
