Tony reflecting on UFC 229 and Conor fighting for the interim belt

"It was funny I actually saw Conor in the back at the (UFC 229) weigh-ins," said Ferguson.
"He was strutting up, doing his thing and I could see his shadow. I looked over my shoulder and he has stopped in his tracks. I saw fear. I saw the biggest fear ever.
"He forgot for a split second - the same way I saw him over at [Floyd] Mayweather, when he was over at the presser - when I saw that, he doesn't want a piece of me.
"Management will make sure that I don't ever touch that guy because I'll make that dude mince meat. I'll chop that dude up and feed him to the dogs.
"Then you got Khabib; he's a game opponent; a real fighter. I don't know about that B.S. that happened afterwards but emotions flare inside there.
"You guys have no idea what we have to prepare for. I recommend any of you guys to go pick up a pair of gloves and hand wraps and spar somebody. See if that makes you excited a little. If that does excite you, then you're in the right sport."
