Tony Ferguson Opens as Betting Favorite Against Donald Cerrone

Only 30 days since his UFC Ottawa war with Al Iaquinta, Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone is already locked in to face another top contender in one of the promotion's most stacked divisions.

On May 11 the UFC announced that Cerrone would face former interim lightweight champion Tony "El Cucuy" Ferguson at UFC 238 on June 8 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

Ferguson, who last fought and defeated Anthony Pettis on Oct. 11, is ranked number two in the 155-pound weight class and hasn't lost in 11 fights.
