From multiple fight of the year contenders in the UFC<\/a> to his electric and unpredictable personality, Ferguson<\/a> is one of the most memorable faces in combat sports today.<\/p>\n \u2018El Cucuy\u2019 looks to return to winning ways after losing eight straight fights in the Octagon, a skid that resulted in Ferguson leaving the promotion last year.<\/p>\n This week, the 41-year-old Ferguson shows us he can still move like he used to.<\/p>\n Ferguson brought out all the moves at the Misfits Boxing 22 open workout on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Despite this fight being under boxing rules, Ferguson\u2019s workout didn\u2019t look much different than something he would do for a UFC fight week.<\/p>\n Ferguson threw punches, kicks, knees, and even did knee slides in the boxing ring.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not all. Ferguson bounced off the ropes and performed Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson\u2019s signature finishing move from WWE, \u2018The People\u2019s Elbow\u2019.<\/p>\n Ferguson rocked stars and stripes for his open workout, like Apollo Creed\u2019s trunks in the \u2018Rocky\u2019 franchise.<\/p>\n Misfits promoter gives \u201950-50\u2032 take on Tony Ferguson vs. Salt Papi<\/p>\n Misfits Boxing promoter Mams Taylor thinks Ferguson vs. Salt Papi is a razor-thin fight.<\/p>\n While Ferguson boasts years of facing the best fighters in the world, the former UFC titleholder does not have any boxing experience under his belt. Salt Papi is 6-2 as a boxer.<\/p>\n What does Taylor make of Ferguson\u2019s chances ahead of his boxing debut?<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a 50-50 for me,\u201d Taylor said of the odds for Ferguson vs. Salt Papi during a Misfits interview.<\/p>\n \u201cTony\u2019s got the experience,\u201d Taylor added.<\/p>\n \u201cI spoke to Tony, Tony\u2019s like, I\u2019m doing everything I need to do to win this fight and he\u2019s so determined\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cIt meant so much, I could tell. I really felt it,\u201d the promoter said of Ferguson\u2019s mentality in the lead-up to Misfits 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tony Ferguson had one crazy open workout for his upcoming boxing match on Saturday.
