Sherdog:
The winner of “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 5 eliminated Tony Ferguson with a guillotine choke in the fourth round of their UFC 279 main event on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Ferguson then looked to move on to better opportunities. Diaz (21-13, 16-11 UFC), who sounds like he plans to compete in professional boxing at some point, secured the choke at 2:52 in the fourth round.
Ferguson (25-8, 15-5 UFC) had his moments of success, particularly when he repeatedly kicked his opponent in the legs. As the fight veered into the fourth round, Diaz survived the injuries to his lower limbs, unleashed some of his signature multi-punch volleys, and maintained his competitiveness.
Tapology:
Tony “El Cucuy” Ferguson, a professional mixed martial artist from Ventura, California, is ranked #233 among top welterweight MMA fighters. His record is 25-8-0.
Back Tattoo Meaning:
Tattoo: Tony has a massive cross tattoo in the centre of his back with broad wings that span the entire area.
Meaning: The wings were given to him together with the cross as a memento of a near-death experience, which is typical in this sport, and the cross reflects the fighter’s religious beliefs.
