Tony Ferguson, once a feared force in the UFC realm, now finds himself navigating a disheartening seven-fight losing streak after his recent clash with Michael Chiesa. Their bout took place at UFC Fight Night in Abu Dhabi, where the Spokane fighter wasted no time to expose Ferguson's vulnerabilities, securing a swift victory by submission in just 3 minutes and 44 seconds. This latest defeat not only added to Ferguson's unfortunate collection of losses but also raised questions about the future of a fighter who once reigned supreme as the UFC’s interim lightweight champion.
Ferguson's journey has been a turbulent ride, with moments of absolute brilliance overshadowed by recent losses that have people shaking their heads in disbelief.
