At UFC 181 back in Dec. 6, 2014, Tony Ferguson took on Abel Trujillo in the opening fight of the pay-per-view main card. That night in Las Vegas, Ferguson scored another submission victory, this time sinking in a rear-naked choke on Trujillo. The official stoppage came at the 4:19 mark of round 2.
Now, five victories and almost three years later, Ferguson is scheduled to take on Kevin Lee in a interim lightweight title bout in the headlining slot of UFC 216. The event is set to take place on Oct.
