Tony Ferguson’s coach Eddie Bravo says his fighter is good to go for UFC 238. Ferguson and Donald Cerrone will share the Octagon this Saturday night (June 8). The bout will be featured on the main card of UFC 238. Ferguson hasn’t fought since Oct. 2018, while Cerrone has gone 3-0 in “El Cucuy’s” absence. […]

Tony Ferguson matches up nicely against Conor McGregor.

Conor McGregor is back, and everyone wants in on the action.
Add former interim UFC lightweight champion Tony Ferguson to that mix. Ferguson is currently hours away from making his Octagon return off recovery from an LCL tear. “El Cucuy” will face Anthony “Showtime” Pettis in the co-main event of UFC 229 tomorrow (Sat. October 6, 2018).
In the main event, Conor McGregor also makes his Octagon return. He’ll challenge Khabib Nurmagomedov for the 155-pound title. As for who the Ferguson camp is rooting for, “El Cucuy’s” jiu-jitsu coach, Eddie Bravo, points to McGregor. Bravo told BJPenn.com Radio that he wants to see McGregor and Ferguson should both win tomorrow night.
After that, it would set up a title fight between McGregor and Ferguson in early 2019, and his fighter would take home a big payday (via Bloody Elbow):
“Conor’s the one,” Bravo said. “Tony would destroy him on the ground. All we gotta do is get him on the ground. And Tony has the stand up to hang with Conor.
“Tony’s f*cked up Edson Barboza, Tony f*cked up Rafael Dos Anjos, Josh Thomson, [Katsunori] Kikuno; all these guys with great standup, Tony’s f*cked ’em up. All of ’em. So obviously, we gotta respect Conor’s power, but I think Tony can handle Conor on his feet.”
Many would give McGregor the edge over Ferguson and Nurmagomedov standing. If it went to grappling, that’s a polar opposite situation. Ferguson’s dangerous chokes and transitions would definitely be a problem for McGregor, and his coach knows it.
Bravo believes the fight would indeed hit the ground. When it did, Ferguson would have too much firepower for the Irish slugger:
“And once he drags him down, Tony’s got too much firepower for Conor. I want Conor to win ’cause I want Tony to fight Conor. Being involved in that would be the ultimate. And you know, and then Tony would get mad pay, which is great.
“So I’m hoping Conor wins. I’m hoping it’s Tony [vs.] Conor sometime early next year.”
Ferguson might have to do something special Saturday night to solidify a fight with McGregor. The Irishman has been pretty vocal that he’s looking to only participate in big-money fights from here on out. Recently, McGregor expressed interest in a potential showdown with former middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva.
There have also been rumors about Georges St-Pierre dropping down to lightweight to fight “The Notorious.” McGregor has also confirmed he intends to give Nate Diaz a rematch from their UFC 202 bout in 2016.
With that said, Ferguson might have to wait in a long line before fighting “Mystic Mac.”

Comedian, actor, podcaster and TV host Joe Rogan landed his color commentary role at the UFC despite never having competed in a mixed martial arts bout, but make no mistake, he’s a highly skilled martial artist – and we’ve got the video footage to prove it!
Rogan admits to having been obsessed with martial arts in his youth, becoming a taekwondo black belt by the age of 15 and going on to win four championships in Massachusetts along with a US Open tournament.
He stopped competing in his early 20’s after also dabbling in judo and kickboxing, but he’s never stopped training, and in addition to refining his striking skills he’s since become a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu under Jean Jacques Machado and a black belt in 10th Planet Jiu-jitsu (no-gi) under Eddie Bravo.
Over the years Rogan has repeatedly turned down pleas from fans to fight in the Octagon, confessing that he has real concerns about the potential for head trauma, and also once joking with fans that, “I would break that drug test like a hammer hitting a carnival bell in a bugs bunny cartoon.”
Nevertheless, based on the video footage you’re about to see, it’s a crying shame that we’ll never get a chance to see him in action as there’s no doubting he has some serious skills.

Eleven years after Eddie Bravo put his name on the map by submitting Royler Gracie at the 2003 ADCC tournament, the two grapplers met in a rematch on Saturday, at Metamoris 3 in Los Angeles. Officially, they fought to a draw — because Metamoris doesn’t use a point system, and every match that doesn’t end in a submission is counted as a draw. But it was a moral victory for Bravo, who controlled most of the action and put Royler in a number of uncomfortable positions.
Unless you’ve studied jiu-jitsu yourself, you might look at sequences like this and be totally baffled. So, a helpful Redditor named MisaCampo recorded a play-by-play commentary video for the entire Bravo vs. Gracie 2 match that explains what’s happening without getting too technical. If you’re a grappling noob who wants to know a little more about the intricacies of human-chess, this is a must-watch.
By the way, Royce Gracie reportedly threatened Bravo after the event as Eddie was throwing up, because that’s just the kind of guy Royce is.
