Follow Us
‘El Cucuy’ Tony Ferguson kept a close eye on the UFC 257 pay-per-view where Dustin Poirier stopped Conor McGregor in round 2. Furthermore, Michael Chandler made his triumphant UFC debut as he knocked out Dan Hooker in the first round. Overall, it was a magnificent night of fights in one of the biggest events of the year.
Ferguson fought at the last pay-per-view of 2020, as he came up short against Charles Oliveira. He endured a difficult 2020, suffering back-to-back losses for the first time in his career. But, he is certainly preparing himself for a triumphant return in 2020 and would have been scouting the opposition. He congratulated both Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier for their top-notch efforts in the main event of UFC 257.

The lightweight division now has a new contender in the form of former Bellator champion ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler who made a thrilling debut in his new organization. He could have fought Ferguson in 2020, but that bout never quite materialized.
Ferguson ruled the division for over 8 years with a 12-fight win streak. Even though he won the interim belt at UFC 216 after defeating Kevin Lee, he never got the chance to fight for the undisputed title due to a series of unfortunate incidents. Hence, he will look to get back to title contention in 2021.
