At UFC 262 on Saturday, Tony Ferguson will find a way to end the first series of losses in his career when he entered the octagon cage to confront Beneil Dariush.
If it fails, this will be the third consecutive defeat of El Cucuy. Although Ferguson's previous defeats were against big fighters, the third defeat could be synonymous with the end of the time when playing at the UFC.
However, if he won, according to Dana White, Ferguson will return to his position that he has maintained for the past 5 years: Lightweight's top candidate.
“It was a big battle for him,” White told ESPN in a recent interview. “He (Ferguson) is a fans who are loved by many fans, so if he plays in high form and won, he will once again stand in the top.
We just need to see which version of Tony Ferguson appears. ”
Tony Ferguson appeared before Charles Oliveira at the UFC 256 event was a less formal version than usual, which is why Ferguson failed.
Since the defeat, Ferguson has changed the training method by focusing more on the classic basic exercises. He has “learned” the famous boxer Freddie Roach and also fought with Georges St-Pierre.
