Determined to break out of his recent slump, Tony Ferguson has brought in retired U.S. Navy Seal and ultramarathon runner David Goggins.
El Cucuy’ returns to the Octagon on December 16 sitting on a six-fight losing streak that began with a brutally lopsided loss to Justin Gaethje in May 2020. Since then, Ferguson has lost to a who’s who of lightweight talent including Charles Oliveira, Beneil Dariush, Michael Chandler, Nate Diaz, and Bobby Green. He has been finished in his last three losses.
Many assumed his defeat at the hands of Bobby Green at UFC 291 would spell the end of Ferguson’s career, but the former interim titleholder is not ready to hang up the four-ounce gloves just yet.
