UFC 274: Tony Ferguson's damning rant about Dana White's company

Ahead of his fight at UFC 274, Tony Ferguson has hit out at UFC president Dana White for behaving like a “drug dealer.”

Ferguson will be in action in Pheonix, Arizona against fellow lightweight contender Michael Chandler on May 7.

Earlier this week White explicitly reviled that he believes boxers are overpaid in an interview with the Pivot podcast.

When Ferguson was asked about these comments by the MMA promotion’s president, he didn’t mince his words.

“I think we are underpaid personally. I’m not going to say it too much. Dana said something the other day talking about how boxers are overpaid.

“I asked Dana to box, he said: ‘f*** no’. I’m like: ‘why?’ I want to go play baseball, I want to go do other pro sports because I’m an athlete. I grew up playing different sports at a very high level.

“I come from Grand Valley state university as a wrestler, I want to go and do pro-wrestling.

"You should ask some of the other fighters that have been f*cking treated like sh*t for a long time too. I'm not the only one thinking it."Tony Ferguson had *a lot* to say at #UFC274 media day.▶️ https://t.co/Uihqe3kwD1 pic.twitter.com/FjXCGOlsHJ

“I want to go and do all these things, but I have this guy [Dana White] acting like a f****** drug dealer telling me I can’t do this s***. I want to go make more money for my family.

The UFC lightweight was quick to point out that he wasn’t the only UFC fighter that believes they’ve been unfairly treated by the promotion.

“You should ask some of the other fighters that have been f****** treated like s*** for a long time too. I’m not the only one thinking it.

Ferguson was stripped of his interim lightweight title when he was forced to withdraw from a bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov after injuring
