Last week, it was announced that former interim lightweight champ Tony Ferguson would return to the Octagon against fan favorite Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at the next month’s UFC 238 pay-per-view in Chicago.
Ferguson, 35, hasn’t fought since his Fight of the Night epic against Anthony Pettis at UFC 229, which saw The Ultimate Fighter 13 winner earn a TKO stoppage in the second round.
‘El Cucuy’ has been out of action for the past few months due to mental illness, but the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu product was medically cleared to fight in April. The MMA veteran is currently riding an impressive eleven-fight win streak.
