Tony Ferguson Returns To Action In Co-Main Event Saturday
2 years agoThe last couple of years, both in and out of the Octagon, have been tough for former interim UFC lightweight champion Tony Ferguson (25-7), but he finds himself with a huge rebound opportunity Saturday when he steps into the cage at welterweight in the co-main event of UFC 279. Winless in his last four outings, maybe the shift to welterweight can be a fresh start for the 38-year-old. Few can do it better than Ferguson when he's on, as 20 of his 25 career wins have come by finish, with 11 of via knockout/TKO. His opponent, Li Jingliang, is a dangerous rising welterweight, but Ferguson can never be counted out. DraftKings sees Ferguson as a big underdog with a salary of $7,200. Throughout his UFC career, Ferguson averages 76.5 fantasy points per contest.
