Ferguson explained how he almost defeated Jon Jones

Tony Ferguson, the former interim UFC lightweight champion, talked about how he once almost defeated Jon Jones in a wrestling match.

“In college, I wrestled with John Johnson. And I lost to him by one point. I moved up two weight classes. The guy from 83 kg got injured, and I had previously won the national championship in the weight class up to 75 kg. I moved up two classes, weighing 79 kg at the weigh-in. And I had to wrestle against guys who were 9 kg heavier. In that division, I became third that year and lost to Jones by just one point in a face-to-face match. I almost beat him,” said Ferguson, according to the Sherdog portal.
