Tony Ferguson is one of the demonstrable toughest fighters in a sport filled with tough athlete. A great deal of his fighting style involves constantly attacking his opponent and getting in their face, which means that — despite his measures to block and evade — Ferguson eats plenty of strikes, yet he’s never been stopped. To further add to that legacy, Ferguson kicks metal pipes in his spare time, a unique training method that enables him to kick his opponents shins without fear of his own pain.
Finally, however, Ferguson has met an obstacle that forced a real reaction from him: the feared COVID-19 nasal swab.
UFC promised strict safety regulations in their first attempt to return to hosting an event since national shutdown, and they appear to be living up to their word. All fighters must pass the above diagnostic swab, and they’ll also be given a test to check for antibodies, which are present in those who have previously fought off the virus.
We are now just four days away from showtime, and it will be quite interesting to see if any fights are canceled due to a positive test.
