Tony Ferguson is known as one of the greatest UFC lightweight fighters that had ever stepped inside of the octagon. Ferguson joined the UFC back in the year 2011. His first fight inside of the octagon was against Ramsey Nijen and he defeated him with a great knockout finish within the first round of their fight.

But in May of 2020 his record was finally broken after a very harsh loss to Justin Gaethje who is another incredible UFC fighter inside of the lightweight division. After this loss Ferguson’s career has came down by a lot, he has lost his last eight fights straight. We could be seeing the end of Tony Ferguson’s mixed martial arts career very soon.
