'El Cucuy' was once the most feared fighter in the lightweight division with an illustrious 12-fight win streak. He holds victories over notable names like Rafael dos Anjos, Edson Barboza, Anthony Pettis, and Donald Cerrone.

Many believe that Ferguson's decline began with UFC 249 when he succumbed to the first TKO loss of his career against Justin Gaethje.

In a video uploaded to his YouTubee channel, UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier said:

“It’s sad because for so long, he was so good in a weight division where it was hard to become the champion. So he only held a portion of the belt by becoming interim champion, but Tony Ferguson in his peak was as good as anybody in the UFC. But his decline has been very steep, and it hasn’t been gradual. It was very fast how he kind of fell off a cliff.''

Even fans have expressed their growing concerns regarding Ferguson's health. 'El Cucuy' remains adamant that he has more fights left in his tank before bowing out of the sport.
