Tony Ferguson has won seven in a row with five finishes in arguably the toughest division in the UFC. There really isn't much left for him to do in terms of proving himself.
On Friday night, Ferguson cemented his elite status even further by beating Edson Barboza by submission (d'arce choke) at 2:54 of the second round at The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale in Las Vegas.
Ferguson was asked by Ariel Helwani later on FOX Sports 1 if he felt like he did enough to get that title nod.
"I finished Edson Barboza in a d'arce choke," Ferguson said.
