The Pinnacle of the lightweight history will include two fighters from the same era. Though, unfortunately, they never fought each other. UFC President Dana White went on to book the fight five times. However, the potential greatest lightweight championship fight stayed a dream for the fight fans. Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov both are tied for the longest win-streak in UFC lightweight history with 12 wins each.

Tony Ferguson has an opponent with the same style as Khabib Nurmagomedov

El Cucuy‘ is on a three-fight losing skid. All three of his losses were decisive. ‘El Cucuy’ looked a shell of himself in these last three outings. However, Ferguson has not fought since May of last year. Thus, the break may help him rejuvenate, and it gave him enough time to work on his weaknesses. In addition, potentially, he has a great opponent across him.

Ferguson’s style matches up perfectly with Michael Chandler. With ‘El Cucuy’ known for his high volume, it would be a tough outing for the former Bellator lightweight champion. However, Chandler can make the fight look easy with his explosive wrestling. But he has to balance his energy while doing that. Getting tired in front of ‘El Cucuy’ is not a good move for any fighter.
