Vs Michael Chiesa
Tony Ferguson and Michael Chiesa meet in Abu Dhabi with a chance to end their respective losing streaks.
It’s no secret that Ferguson’s fighting career has reached a troubled phase. The former UFC interim lightweight champion has lost seven consecutive fights, including four inside distance. ‘El Cucuy’ has refused to retire and hopes to turn things around with his first win since June 2019.
Meanwhile, Chiesa’s losing streak has not been as brutal, but he has suffered three consecutive defeats, including two inside the distance. ‘Maverick’ plans to end his skid by becoming the latest fighter to defeat Ferguson.
Ferguson and Chiesa are better off fighting a fellow veteran than an up-and-comer looking to make a name for themselves. Barring a draw or no contest, one of these welterweight fighters will leave UFC Abu Dhabi with a much-needed win.
