Really feel bad for both guys. Cowboy class act. Tony looks like he has tears in his eyes and is upset with himself. Both guys handling it very well. #UFC238

Not the ending we all wanted but the fight certainly delivered imo.
Took him a round to get his rhythm but Ferguson looked incredible. Relentless cardio/pressure and he's just so freaking creative!! #UFC238

Can’t send a one eyed fighter in there to fight someone like @TonyFergusonXT in round 3. Tough, tough dudes right there. Fight still delivered imo. #UFCChicago

The fans are mad but Ferguson earned that. After a slow start he won that second round fair and square and was starting to roll.

Cerrone: "The punch had nothing to do with it. Man, I just wanted to keep fighting. I could not finish the fight, I apologize." I wish this man could fight forever. Cowboy is a damn legend.
