Tony Ferguson took his third loss in a row on Saturday night at UFC 262. That was the first this had ever happened to the former interim UFC lightweight champ. The loss, to Beneil Dariush, followed losses to newly crowned champion Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje.
The loss to Dariush was a lopsided one, with Ferguson outpaced and outscored in the eyes of all three judges. However, it was surprising that the fight made it to the judges after Dariush had Ferguson locked into a brutal looking heel hook in the second round.
Ferguson refused to tap to the submission.
