"I’m rooting for you" - Ali Abdelaziz wishes Tony Ferguson luck for Michael Chandler fight
In a recent post on social media, Dominance MMA top dog Ali Abdelaziz rallied behind Tony Ferguson ahead of his highly-anticipated fight against Michael Chandler.
The Egyptian responded to a picture that was posted by Ferguson. In his post, he wished the No.7-ranked UFC lightweight good fortune as he prepares to compete in perhaps his toughest test yet.
However, Abdelaziz's support for 'El Cucuy' comes as a pleasant surprise, owing to the turbulent nature of Ferguson's relationship with his top client, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Check out Michael Chandler's post on Instagram below:
"Sometimes you just have to get sand between your toes. Beach work with [Henri Hooft] If you’ve never done a workout on the beach, it’s harder than it looks. Every step labored, every movement is stymied, fatigue sets in with every step. But it was fun and we got it done. See you at the top!"
At 38 years old, Ferguson boasts a pro-MMA record of 26-6. He enters his next bout on the back of three consecutive losses at the hands of elite lightweights Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush.
