Tony Ferguson warns Tyron Woodley ahead of UFC 209: 'I won The Ultimate Fighter at 170'

While Tony Ferguson has cemented himself as one of the very best lightweights in the world, it's often forgot that 'El Cucuy’ won series 13 of The Ultimate Fighter as a welterweight.

The No. 2 ranked lightweight contender picked up several finishes on the show, knocking out Ramsey Nijem in the season finale to become the 170-pound tournament winner.

Ferguson was quick to remind UFC welterweight champion Woodley of that fact, perhaps hinting at a move back to 170 lbs. after his interim lightweight championship tilt against the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 209.
