Tony Ferguson Beats Anthony Pettis via TKO After Showtime Suffers Hand Injury

Tony Ferguson (24-3) added another impressive win to his resume with a second-TKO victory against Anthony Pettis (21-8) in the co-main event of UFC 229 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Pettis' corner called an end to the fight after the fighter sustained a hand injury in an action-packed second round.

The fight got off to a slow start for El Cucuy. Ferguson's mobility appeared to be hampered by a previous knee injury giving Pettis the opportunity to land early leg kicks and build some momentum.
