How does Tony Ferguson's latest UFC run look like?

Tony Ferguson is currently on a three-fight losing skid in the UFC. Ferguson's incredible 12-fight winning streak was brought to an end in 2020 when he was beaten by Justin Gaethje for the interim UFC lightweight title at UFC 249.

Following his loss to 'The Highlight', Tony Ferguson suffered yet another loss at UFC 256 when he was defeated by reigning UFC lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira.

In 2021, Tony Ferguson competed just once inside the octagon, fighting Beneil Dariush at UFC 262. 'El Cucuy' was mostly dominated by Dariush for the majority of their fight and ended up suffering another loss.

It will be interesting to note what fight UFC has in store for Tony Ferguson in 2022 and if the former interim UFC lightweight champion will return to the win column for the first time since 2019.
