Tony Ferguson is on a mission unlike any other.
The former interim UFC lightweight champion has seen better days in his MMA run. Once one of the sport's most feared violence producers, Ferguson rattled off a historic 12-fight win streak that started in 2013 and stretched into 2019 before the tides turned in the opposite direction with a knockout loss to Justin Gaethje. Ferguson, 41, hasn't won since, and was finally released from his UFC contract in January after losing eight consecutive bouts, a new — and unfortunate — record for UFC nonperformance.
But despite riding such a demoralizing stretch of results, Ferguson shows no signs of shouldering a broken mentality as he nears his Global Fight League debut against Dillon Danis on May 11 in Los Angeles.
