Tony Ferguson might be the underdog, but many fighters are giving the UFC veteran a legitimate chance at beating undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in their all but confirmed title bout in early 2020.
The latest fighter to credit Ferguson is top-five UFC featherweight contender Brian Ortega, who believes Ferguson’s jiu jitsu could pose all kind of problems for the top-heavy Nurmagomedov, who is considered one, if not the, greatest wrestlers in the UFC.
With that said, if Ferguson isn’t up to task, ‘T-City’ feels he is more than capable of getting the job done himself, as the 28-year-old believes he has the perfect style to shut down Khabib’s offense.
