There are even more questions about how much Tony Ferguson has left in the tank following his defeat to Beneil Dariush, but "El Cucuy" isn't going anywhere.

Ferguson declared in a tweet Monday he's "pissed" after suffering his third straight loss at UFC 262 last weekend and said he has no plans to retire from mixed martial arts.

Dariush dominated Ferguson in Saturday's lightweight co-main event, controlling him on the ground and nearly submitting him with a heel hook in the second round. Last year, Ferguson suffered a devastating TKO loss to Justin Gaethje and dropped a lopsided decision to now-lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.

The former interim champion won 12 straight fights from 2013-19 and had never lost multiple times in a row before his recent skid. Ferguson hasn't been victorious since a doctor's stoppage over Donald Cerrone in June 2019.

The 37-year-old dropped out of the lightweight division's top five with the loss to Dariush.
