Tony Ferguson training with Georges St-Pierre and Freddie Roach

Top UFC lightweight Tony Ferguson is currently in uncharted territory. After he lost to Charles Oliveira at UFC 256 in December, El Cucuy now finds himself on the first losing streak of his 30 fight career.

His back-to-back losses to Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje (who defeated him by TKO at UFC 249 last May) are the first losses on Ferguson’s record since way back in 2012, when he dropped a decision to Michael Johnson.

Between losses Ferguson went on a storied run, winning 12 fights and beating the likes of Donald Cerrone, Anthony Pettis, Kevin Lee, Rafael dos Anjos and Edson Barboza.
