Tony Ferguson thinks Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor took the easy route when they opted to face each other. Ferguson (25-4 MMA, 15-2 UFC), who was initially offered Poirier for the co-main event of UFC 254, was left without a fight after Poirier couldn’t come to terms with the UFC. Instead, the UFC offered Ferguson a fight against Michael Chandler, but Ferguson was unhappy with being offered a newcomer for, to him, an unsatisfactory amount of money. As a result, Chandler was inserted as the reserve for the UFC 254 main event between lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje on Saturday, and Poirier was offered a rematch with McGregor on Jan.
