Tony Ferguson recalled the time when Daniel Cormier dropped the scales and believes that he should have been deprived of the title for that. Recall, Cormier had an incident at the weigh-in for the UFC 210 event when he was supposed to fight Anthony Johnson, but he dropped the scales and then “miraculously” lost nearly a pound in very little time.
Many criticized him for weighing less than he actually weighed because he was holding on to a towel that was stretched out in front of him so he could strip naked. "How Not to Make Weight Ladies & Gentlemen. Shoulda Stripped Em’ Like They Did @CharlesDoBronxs
Shout Out To All Those Doin’ It Right & Keepin’ The Sport Clean ๐งผ - Champ ๐ -CSO- ๐บ๐ธ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ # CuttingWeight Feeling Great ๐ @espnmma" - Ferguson wrote on his Twitter post.
Cormier did not remain indebted to him and responded to him in his own style.
"Tony please stop.How Not to Make Weight Ladies & Gentlemen.

Go and sit back for a little, tuck your head in a hole somewhere. Regroup man , recover spend some time with your family. Like just please stop! I plead with you. It is not a good look. Like you’re making me sad."
Tony may then have gone too far and accused Cormier of taking cocaine in jargon.
"@dc_mma Lay Off The Yay Buddy ๐คง Not A Good Look ๐ You Make Yourself Look Sad.
I’m already back to work โ๏ธ I don’t quit like you โ๏ธ Enjoy your retirement with Fathead ๐ฎ ๐๐ -CSO- ๐บ๐ธ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ # ๐งผ" Cormier can sue Ferguson for defamation because of this, and for now, he has only let him down alluding to the knockout he received in his last fight.
"Ok, Tony now you’re reaching. Are you saying I do cocaine? I’m so confused right now. I don't know why you’re after me. Get Michael chandler he’s the one who kicked your face not me."
