Ferguson and opponent Edson Barboza each garnered $50,000 “Fight of the Night” honors for their enthralling lightweight clash at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, and Ferguson reeled in an additional $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for his stellar work.
The two lightweights went back and forth during their thrilling battle, which Ferguson won via brabo choke at the 2:54 mark of the second round. The opening stanza was a “Round of the Year” candidate, with both fighters landing a variety of offense.
