With all the talk of the high profile Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title fight taking place on October 6 at UFC 229 between champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Irish superstar Conor McGregor, former interim champion Tony Ferguson has become something of a forgotten man.

“El Cucuy,” who is currently riding a 10 fight winning streak, was scheduled to fight Nurmagomedov back in April at UFC 223 but suffered a freak accident where he tripped over some cabling in a television studio while doing promotional work in the lead-up to the event.
