From 2013-2019, Tony Ferguson went on a rampage through the UFC’s lightweight division. “El Cucuy” laid a beating on a murderer’s row of opponents in the form of Edson Barboza, Rafael Dos Anjos, Anthony Pettis, and Donald Cerrone to perfectly live up to his boogeyman nickname.
Among those who were part of Ferguson’s hitlist during those six years was former Strikeforce champion, Josh Thomson. “The Punk” lost that 2015 fight via decision and was badly beaten up, in the process.
In a recent episode of his Weighing In podcast with “Big John” McCarthy, the now-retired Thomson spoke about how that Ferguson fight altered both his life and career.
