Stylistically, the fight is very interesting. ‘El Cucuy’ uses high volume and relies on his cardio to tire out his opponents. He uses the elbows and clinch really well and has one of the best D’arce chokes in the UFC. Whereas Chandler is an explosive fighter with a wrestling pedigree. ‘The Iron’ rarely likes to go to later rounds and always tries to finish the fight.

Ferguson, in his last two fights, had issues with the grappling. Though his opponents, Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush, could not make him submit, they dominated Ferguson for the entire fight.
However, Chandler likes to exchange punches in the middle of the octagon. Both fighters usually put on the best performances for their fans and the fans will expect fireworks from the fight.
