UFC: Tony Ferguson quotes ‘funny’ Hong Kong film ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ amid lightweight comeback grind
- ‘El Cucuy’ posts updates after Oliveira loss, saying he is still finding himself ‘in that space where people tap’
- Ferguson recalls legendary fight scene between main characters and ‘The Beast’, played by local actor Bruce Leung
UFC lightweight contender Tony Ferguson (25-5) is back on the grind after losing his second fight on the trot in December – and it seems he is channelling Hong Kong’s own legendary filmmaker Stephen Chow Sing-chi to do it.
“Who would have ever thought the Beast’s thrashing would clear the boy’s chi flow – Kung Fu Hustle (funny movie by Stephen Chow),” the 36-year-old American wrote, accompanied by some fan art.
“[Champ s*** only] – Always finding myself in that space where people tap … I live in that moment and thrive. – Champ.”
The “Beast” that Ferguson referred to is the near-indestructible villain character of veteran Hong Kong actor Bruce Leung Siu-lung. He was involved in a notorious boss-level-type fight scene as protagonists attempted to unite against him.
