There will be a total of 15 fights in the UFC 262. Among all Tony Ferguson vs Beneil Dariush undercard is one of the significant fights. Chandler rooted for Ferguson while discussing this card. “If we see a better Tony Ferguson, I still think he’s one of the scariest guys on the roster from a from an unorthodox kind of unexpected scenarios,” the Iron said to Bond.
Furthermore, Chandler thinks Ferguson can confuse the opponents through his fighting skill. The 34-year-old signifies El Cucuy as an “interesting puzzle to figure out.” Referring to this, Chandler thinks Dariush is “a little bit more basic” than Tony.
However, Michael Chandler did not deny the abilities of Dariush. “Still very dangerous so, it’ll be a great matchup,” Chandler stated about Ferguson vs Dariush undercard.
