Tony Ferguson ’s outlook on his most recent loss to Charles Oliveira is much different than most observers. Ferguson (25-5 MMA, 15-3 UFC), who lost a unanimous decision to Oliveira in the co-main event of UFC 256 last Saturday, thinks the 30-26 scorecards across the board were not an accurate reflection of what actually happened in the fight. In an Instagram Live session Wednesday, Ferguson broke down the fight, suggesting that Oliveira (30-8 MMA, 18-8 UFC), after failing to submit Ferguson with a nasty armbar as the first round came to a close, was fazed by it for the rest of the fight. “We’re not gonna waste any energy here, and you guys shouldn’t either in jiu-jitsu matches,” Ferguson said. “Just be patient and wait for the opportunity for him to advance and get so lazy that in the third round he doesn’t even advance to mount anymore
