Mixed Martial Artists is a sport filled with wild and crazy characters. And amongst those one man stands out from the rest. That man is Tony Ferguson. If you need a perspective on how violent and wild Ferguson is inside the octagon all you have to do is watch his opponents after the fight.

While Anthony Pettis suffered a broken hand after two rounds, Donald Cerrone could not see through one eye when squared off against Tony Ferguson. In short, bad things happens when you step into the cage with Ferguson. Well, Aaron Riley faced a similar fortune when he took on Ferguson at UFC 135.

Jaw Breaking Performance From Tony Ferguson

One interesting stats about Tony Ferguson is he does lose early rounds or early minutes of the fight. We saw that in his fight against Kevin Lee who came very close to beating Tony Ferguson. We also saw Anthony Pettis knocked down Ferguson in the early minutes. Even Donald Cerrone was having great success against Ferguson in the first round. However, if you put pressure on Ferguson he is going to do the same but with more intensity.
