Cowboy Cerrone has been steadily working his way up in his new division. Now in spite of several rumors bout the Conor McGregor fight Cerrone agreed to duke it out with Tony Ferguson in June at UFC 238.
Ferguson (24-3), a former UFC interim lightweight champion, has not competed since finishing former champion Anthony Pettis at UFC 229 in October. Since then, “El Cucuy” has found himself in the headlines due to his strange episodes that landed him a psychiatric evaluation.
