Li Jingliang is not here for any slander of Tony Ferguson.
UFC president Dana White announced Jingliang vs. Ferguson was joining the line-up of the upcoming pay-per-view event, which was quite a surprise considering what has happened to ‘El Cucuy’ recently. The former interim UFC lightweight champion suffered a brutal second-round KO loss to Michael Chandler at UFC 274 this past May. To see Ferguson return so soon after that and at a weight he has not fought at since winning The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale was concerning, but Jingliang told Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie there should be no concern.
