A pivotal lightweight scrap between top contenders Tony Ferguson and Michael Johnson has been added to March's UFC 197, which is already shaping up to be one of the biggest UFC cards in the promotion's history. Following a report from the Los Angeles Daily News, UFC officials confirmed the news on Thursday evening.
Ferguson (20-3) is currently riding a seven-fight winning streak, which includes victories over Josh Thomson, Gleison Tibau, and Abel Trujillo. In his most recent outing late last year, "El Cucuy" picked up arguably the biggest win of his career, a submission over Edson Barboza.
