After Tony Ferguson defeated former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos on Saturday night in Mexico City, the floor was his.
This Saturday is arguably the biggest lightweight title fight in UFC history, with Eddie Alvarez defending against Conor McGregor. By all rights, the winner of the UFC Fight Night 98 main event had a strong argument to get the next title shot at the man who leaves Madison Square Garden as champion on Saturday night.
Ferguson (23-3) may get the next shot with his win over RDA. He's got nine wins in a row, including some major names in that streak like Edson Barboza and Josh Thomson.
