DENVER – Tony Ferguson justified his top-prospect status.
Ferguson, the previously embattled winner of “The Ultimate Fighter 13,” displayed impressive striking and ultimately broke lightweight Aaron Riley’s jaw for a first-round TKO victory.
The fight was the featured attraction on the preliminary card of UFC 135, which took place Saturday at Denver’s Pepsi Center. Ferguson vs. Riley was one of two fights that aired on Spike TV after a three-fight Facebook stream.
