Tony Ferguson returns at UFC 256

El Cucuy” is looking to get back in the win column after suffering his first loss in eight years. Ferguson went on a 12-fight unbeaten run in that time. Now, he will look to beat Charles Oliveira and re-establish his claim as the no.1 lightweight on the planet yet again.

Oliveira has been on a roll of his own too and has an active seven-fight win streak. Stylistically, this fight promises to be a banger. Unfortunately for fans, the bout will be only three-rounds as it will be a co-main event outing.
