In 36 professional fights, only one man can claim to hit Tony Ferguson from Cold: Michael Chandler.
Prior to a standing TKO loss for Justin Gaethje in 2020, Ferguson was one of the most feared hunters in the UFC. The former UFC-Interim-Lichtweight champion went from 2013 to 2019 on a fantastic win with 12 fights and defeated the competition after the competition until the competition began to catch up.
Gaethje was one of the first to come out Ferguson came to Charles Oliveira, Beneil Dariush and in 2022 former triple Bellator Lightweight Champion Michael Chandler.
At UFC 274 we saw a glimpse of the Prime Tony Ferguson, who won the interim title in 2017. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to stop a sustainable Chandler.

Tony Ferguson dropped Michael Chandler on UFC 274
Ferguson found a house in front of his left hand early, and sat down in Chandler for a minute with a blow.
Ferguson stalked Chandler against the cage and tagged him with a few punches when Chandler recovered, find his rhythm again.
Chandler pulled Ferguson halfway through the round. Chandler drove from the upper position but at Ellebogen by Ferguson on the ground. Chandler ran a cut under his right eye.
The Ferguson of yesteryear was back, but only for a moment.
The second round was all Chandler.
Michael Chandler came back with Woeste Front -Kick Koo
14 seconds in round 2, Chandler threw a Heliapelse front kick at Ferguson's face, making the former interim champion with the face to the canvas. Right to goal.
De Ko looked like one of the iconic scenes of King Leonidas from the film '300'.
While the doctors hurried to check in on Ferguson, the ecstatic chandler celebrated with four backflips from the footprintena in Phoenix, Arizona. In the crowd was his upcoming UFC 314 opponent Paddy Pimblett with his hands over his mouth, in shock of what just happened.
Ferguson was cold for a few minutes and was later admitted to hospital after his fourth consecutive defeat.
This was Michael Chandler's most recent victory. The 38-year-old UFC light weight competition seems to bounce back from two losses to Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveira with a victory over Pimblett on 12 April.
