TONY FERGUSON VS. DONALD CERRONE ADDED TO UFC 238

Two of the best lightweights in the world are just about to scrap under a month off, and here are my ideas on this brilliant matchup between two of their most exciting fighters on the UFC roster.
UFC 238 vs. Donald Cerrone, tony Ferguson A lightweight matchup between Tony Ferguson and Donald Cerrone was added to UFC 238, which takes place June 8 at United Center in Chicago, Illinois. ESPN first reported that the matchup, which came together on very short notice after Ferguson was recently cleared to fight again from the UFC, who desired to beef up its forthcoming PPV crd in Chicago.
Ferguson (24-3) is 14-1 overall in the UFC and is currently riding an impressive 11-fight win streak, which is among the greatest winning streaks of almost any active UFC fighter. Ferguson is coming from a huge TKO win over Anthony Pettis in among 2018’s top fights back at UFC 229, but has not fought yet in 2019 due to accidents and individual troubles. He had been recently cleared by physicians and by the UFC to come back to the cage, and the game is much better off with him because he’s an incredible fighter who always puts on amazing fights for its fans. Ferguson was waiting a very long time to get a title shot 155lbs but has not got one to this point. But when he can go out there and conquer Cerrone in impressive style, it would not be possible for the UFC matchmakers to pass giving him a title shot. With UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov probably fighting interim champ Dustin Poirier in September in UFC 242 to unify the belts, Ferguson could have a good debate to fight the winner of that bout.
Cerrone (36-11, 1 NC) is 23-8, 1 NC in the Octagon and is the winningest fighter in UFC history. Though he’s 36 now, Cerrone is arguably battling the highest clip of his career to date as he is coming off of three straight upset wins over Mike Perry, Alex Hernandez and Al Iaquinta, the latter two coming from the lightweight division. Though the fight with Iaquinta happened only last ditch, Cerrone took little damage in that struggle and when the opportunity to fight Ferguson on short note came up he needed to accept it. We all know Cerrone is always willing to fight anyone, everywhere, so perhaps it’s not surprising to see him fight Ferguson within just a few weeks, even though it’s going to be a difficult fight as Ferguson is a stud.
This is a tremendous fight, and one which should very popular among sports bettors. Though Cerrone has looked great since moving to lightweight, he was still the gambling underdog in his last and I don’t find any reason why he wouldn’t be a puppy back to Ferguson, who is on such a long win streak. The oddsmakers agree with me, as they recently opened the chances for the fight, with Ferguson opening as a -245 favorite with the comeback on Cerrone in +175. Personally, I believe the line needs to be a bit tighter, but Ferguson deserves to be the betting favourite regardless.
