American UFC lightweight division veteran Tony Ferguson spoke about his preparation for his fight with compatriot Michael Chiesa.

The fight will take place at the welterweight limit and will be part of the UFC on ABC 7 event, which takes place Aug. 3 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

"It's great that I'm fighting in Abu Dhabi. I want to keep performing, training camp has been interesting. I got back to sparring in training, which I haven't done in seven years. I had great partners and did about 120 rounds of sparring. Fighting and having a good attitude is the secret to a quality team," MMA Mania quoted Ferguson as saying.
