It will be difficult to deny Tony Ferguson his shot at Ultimate Fighting Championship gold after his latest performance.
“El Cucuy” left little to the imagination in pocketing a unanimous decision over former champion Rafael dos Anjos in the UFC Fight Night 98 “Ferguson vs. Dos-Anjos” headliner (online betting) on Saturday at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City. Ferguson (22-3, 12-1 UFC) carried all three scorecards with 48-47 marks, as he posted his ninth win in a row -- a record for the UFC lightweight division.
Dos Anjos (25-9, 14-7 UFC) held off “The Ultimate Fighter 13” winner with leg kicks at the start but lost his way as the bout progressed.
