Tony Ferguson is the type of guy to make weight even when his Ultimate Fighting Championship event is canceled.

On Friday, Ferguson hit his own scales on Instagram live, where he displayed that he would have successfully made championship weight at 155 pounds. Ferguson was scheduled to face Justin Gaethje at UFC 249, where the two would vie for interim lightweight gold.
