There is no doubt that Tony Ferguson’s career mirrors that of the Wolf of Wall Street movie. He was like Jordan Belfort at his peak, running wild, unstoppable, and stacking wins like cash. Eventually, the chaos caught up—injuries, defeats, and setbacks hit like the FBI raid, leaving him with a decline he never saw coming. However, those who remember Tony in his prime still see a solid chance for him to rise again. After watching his recent training video, many are calling for a title shot, believing he can reclaim his place at the top and prove the doubters wrong.
Indeed, it’s heart-wrenching for any Tony fan to watch their favorite fighter, once on a remarkable 12-fight winning streak, now struggling through an 8-fight losing streak. This drastic turn of events is challenging to accept, especially since he’s now broken BJ Penn’s record for consecutive losses. Not only did he break the longest losing streak record, but he’s also gone four years without a single win.
However, like ‘CSO,’ his fans aren’t ready to give up. They felt he was regaining his prime form after seeing his recent training video on Instagram. Consequently, they’ve started demanding a title shot for him and flooded the comments section.
One fan stated he’s had enough; all he wants to see now is Tony Ferguson getting a title shot. He believes it’s time for Tony to make his comeback and clinch the belt from the champion.
Likewise, another fan said he can envision the lightweight champion, ‘El Cucuy,’ returning to his prime. Meanwhile, like Conor McGregor, one fan demanded a title shot for Tony from Dana White.
Is Tony Ferguson Retired?
The question of whether Tony is retired is tricky to answer. After his recent loss to Michael Chiesa, ‘El Cucuy’ mentioned that he is “half retired.” Indeed, this feels very much like Tony—always keeping fans guessing about his next move and future in the sport.

For those who haven’t seen the fight, after the matchup, he removed his gloves, hinting that he might be ending his career. However, as the Abu Dhabi crowd cheered loudly, Tony flipped the script and said he would consider retirement, asking fans to see him as “half retired.”
Subsequently, leaving the octagon, he only tossed down one glove, signaling that he might still have a comeback in mind. Meanwhile, from Dana White to other big names like Daniel Cormier, many have been urging Tony to retire for some time now. But ‘CSO’ doesn’t seem ready to call it quits just yet.
