Ferguson looks ahead to Salt Papi fight
“No (I’m not concerned),” Ferguson told MMA Junkie. “At the open workouts, I didn’t throw one punch, and that was on purpose. It’s not like I’m not practicing for boxing. Like I’ve said, I’ve always wanted to box. What I’ve been doing is I’ve been showing up, I’ve got my cornermen that I’ve asked him before this really got serious that I just want to show up.
“For the last four to five years, I’ve been putting things together just to get it going, and it felt the most frustrating because I never found anybody that knew MMA more than me. Like nobody’s gonna have that much more experience than me inside that f*cking cage, that octagon.
“… It was the hardest four to five years I’ve ever had, which f*cking sucked. I never smiled, it was terrible. But you guys never saw that, and I’m glad you guys never saw that because my family never saw that. You guys will never see me injured. You guys will never see me hurt. I’ll never show it, and I’ll never put it on my face because you guys will just never f*cking know. That’s the magic part of me.”
