Most feared UFC fighter named after Nurmagomedov leaves

Tony Ferguson

American mixed martial artist (MMA) Michael Chandler has called compatriot Tony Ferguson the most intimidating fighter in the lightweight division of the Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC) since the departure of Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov. An interview with Chandler is available on the MMA On Point YouTube channel.

“Among all those in the top 10, it is the hardest to prepare for it,” the fighter said. Chandler stressed that he likes Ferguson's unpredictability, as well as the way he exhausts opponents during the fight.
