Tony Ferguson showed equal hatred towards rivals Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov by saying they both "have no balls" and they "can both kiss my a**e."

'El Cucuy,' 36, will return to action at UFC 249 on Saturday against Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight championship.

But Ferguson was scheduled to face Khabib at the event last month before UFC 249 was initially cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The UFC star has also engaged in a heated war of words with Irish MMA superstar McGregor on social media in recent weeks.

During a media day at UFC 238 in 2019, The Schmo caught up with Ferguson and asked him who he hated the most out of McGregor and Khabib.

'El Cucuy,' who successfully stopped Donald Cerrone at UFC 238, made sure that his rivals knew his disdain for both of them was equal.

"They both have no balls. They can both kiss my a**e," he said.

When The Schmo persisted and asked who he disliked the most out of them, Ferguson fired back: "Both. They can both get knocked the f**k off."

Ferguson didn't mince his words and made it clear that he would be willing to fight them both in a three-man tournament.

When asked who he wanted to face the most first, the former interim lightweight champ said: "F**k 'em both at the same time. Let's go. Bring that s**t inside the octagon. Let's go, three-man tournament."

The Schmo suggested that Ferguson's invitation to step in the octagon with both men was like setting up a WWE-style triple threat match.

And the American UFC star hilariously responded: "Add a ladder and we got the belt."

During a UFC 249 conference call, Ferguson reignited his rivalry with McGregor and Khabib and told both of his rivals that they should retire.
