Between 2015-2020, Tony “El Cucuy”Ferguson won twelve straight fights in the UFC and earned nine post-fight bonuses. The wins came against opponents like former UFC lightweight champions Anthony “Showtime” Pettis and Rafael dos Anjos.
In October 2017, he defeated Kevin Lee to win the UFC interim lightweight title. However, Ferguson was later stripped of the strap as he was not able to defend it due to injury.
Since 2020 he has lost five straight fights, all to top level opponents like Charles Oliveira, Michael Chandler and Beneil Dariush.
Fergusons latest fight was against Nate Diaz at UFC 279 in Las Vegas this past September. His latest win was TKO (doctor stoppage) against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone at UFC 238 in June 2019.
