While the words weren’t exactly the same as what Ferguson said, the message was clear. Interestingly, ‘El Cucuy’ delivered this striking line back in 2017 before his fight against Kevin Lee. A few days before the fight night, Ferguson and former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum had a heated conversation.
El Cucuy seemed displeased with Werdum interrupting his interviews. Similarly, VP Kamala Harris also tried to interrupt when Trump was presenting a case against her. Known for his outspoken nature, Trump immediately shut down Harris and appeared angry. Netizens who knew about Ferguson’s infamous moment quickly shared their reactions.
