Tony Ferguson wants to finish his business with Conor McGregor.
On Thursday, the former UFC interim lightweight champion tweeted a picture of himself and McGregor with this particular caption:

The picture of McGregor is notably what the Irishman posted along with a caption of “Tony” when it appeared they would clash at the end of 2017.

Of course, that never happened, and there were multiple times it looked like a fight between them made sense only for it to not happen.
In fact, Ferguson even claimed his old management Paradigm prevented him from fighting McGregor in what would be a major conflict of interest.
But even since changing management, Ferguson has been linked with a fight with McGregor and although many would have liked to have seen it a few years ago, it’s still a tantalizing matchup given where both fighters are in their careers.
“El Cucuy” would follow it up with a video aimed at McGregor.

Ferguson, of course, is riding a three-fight losing streak with his most recent setback coming in May where he was outpointed by Beneil Dariush.
McGregor, meanwhile, is on a two-fight losing streak, having suffered successive TKO defeats to Dustin Poirier, the latter of which came in July and was a result of him accidentally breaking his own tibia.
The former two-weight champion is currently on the road to recovery, but will likely want to run things back with Poirier a fourth time and should get his way.
That said, if Poirier were to defeat Charles Oliveira and become the new lightweight champion, it would be very hard to give McGregor a title shot.
Enter Ferguson?
