Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight talents Beneil Dariush and Tony Ferguson will collide this weekend (Sat., May 15, 2021) at UFC 262 inside Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Dariush was closing in on a title shot back in 2016 before a winless run (0-2-1) saw his chin and conditioning called into question. He’s since proven any who have written him off very wrong, returning to the ranks and demonstrating noticeable improvement in just about every area. Little more than one year ago, Ferguson was riding a record-setting win streak, viewed as perhaps the only man who could dethrone Khabib Nurmagomedov. The game catches up to everyone eventually, however, as the 37-year-old scrapper instead took a pair of dominant losses that have thrown his future and place in the division into chaos.
