Both Tony ferguson and MichaelChandler are on losing streaks going into The fight

‘Iron’ Mike Chandler bursted on the UFC scene with a huge knockout of Dan Hooker and earned himself a title shot in only his second fight in the promotion. Since then, Chandler has dropped his last two bouts to Charles Oliveira in the title fights and Justin Gaethje. The Gaethje fight was one of the best fights in recent history.

Ferguson has also struggled as of late, dropping his last three fights. While he was once a fighter on a multi-year winning streak that surpassed double digits, injuries have caught up to the 38 year old legendary lightweight. Although, Ferguson has only lost to the absolute elite of the division. He has lost to the current champion, Charles Oliveira, the challenger and former interim champion Justin Gaethje, and possible title contender Beneil Dariush. Ferguson was mostly dominated in all those fights, losing to Gaethje via TKO and the other two by unanimous decision.

‘El Cucuy’ seems to think he is the draw to the PPV, adding to the hype of the event.
