Tony Ferguson takes on Michael Chiesa in a highly anticipated welterweight match at UFC on ABC 7 tonight at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. This undercard bout precedes the evening's main event featuring Cory Sandhagen versus Umar Nurmagomedov.
Ferguson, previously fighting at lightweight, will perform in the welterweight division against Chiesa. With a recent loss to Paddy Pimblett by unanimous decision last December, Ferguson has demonstrated resilience although facing setbacks. Chiesa comes off a recent defeat as well, being submitted by Kevin Holland via Brabo choke in July 2023. Both fighters look to reclaim momentum post-defeats against formidable opponents, but Chiesa’s consistent competition at welterweight might offer him an edge over Ferguson who is newer to the weight class.
