Ferguson, although now on a historic losing streak, at one point had built one of the greatest runs in UFC lightweight history from 2013 to 2019.”El Cucuy” dismantled many quality fighters, including Edson Barboza in vintage fashion back in 2015.
Fighting on the main card of The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale, Ferguson walked down Barboza, punished him from his back while in guard, and bloodied him badly before submitting him with his signature Bravo choke.
It was a big victory that would be followed up by five more consecutive wins before the unfortunate losing skid for the former UFC interim lightweight champion.
You can watch Ferguson’s impressive win in the video above.
