Tony Ferguson is set for his highly-anticipated return to the Octagon in two weeks (Sat. June 8, 2019).

He’ll be facing fellow fan-favorite Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone at the UFC 228 pay-per-view (PPV). The action goes down from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Crazy enough, Ferguson vs. Cerrone isn’t even in a headliner or co-headliner role.

The PPV is co-headlined by a women’s flyweight title fight between Valentina Shevchenko and Jessica Eye. Headlining the card is a bout for the vacant 135-pound title between flyweight champ Henry Cejudo and Marlon Moraes. However, Ferguson vs. Cerrone is being touted as the people’s main event of the card.

As we prepare for the return of “El Cucuy,” check out one of his best fights to date. Watch the latest “Free Fight” from the UFC’s YouTube channel, as Tony Ferguson goes to war with Anthony Pettis in the co-main event of UFC 229. The pair put on an all-out bloodbath of a war, which lasted into the second round.

However, Pettis broke his hand in the second round, and couldn’t get off the stool for the third. As a result, Ferguson was awarded the TKO victory. Despite the underwhelming finish, the bout took home Fight Of The Night, and rightfully so.

Anthony Pettis left UFC Nashville with a spectacular knockout victory last month, however, he didn’t exit the Octagon unscathed.

ESPN reports that “Showtime” suffered a broken nose after his victory over Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. Doctors have determined the ex-lightweight champ doesn’t need surgery, but he will need to rest for four-to-six weeks. Pettis pulled off a sensational superman punch knockout over the two-time welterweight title challenger in the second round of their main event meeting.

With the win, he became just one of three fighters in UFC history to get a victory in three different weight classes (featherweight, lightweight, welterweight). Pettis joins Conor McGregor and Kenny Florian in the record books. The Milwaukee native has not finalized a next opponent as of this writing, however, he’s hoping to get back to work this summer.

The 32-year-old is eying a return to 155 pounds where some fun match-ups could be waiting after his big win. Perhaps a bout with former World Series Of Fighting (WSOF) lightweight champ Justin Gaethje, who comes off of a ridiculous knockout of his own, would be a fun match-up?
