So, I guess Tony Ferguson is just a top 5 lightweight. I never saw this level of success coming for him when he was on TUF. This might be making a run for FOTN.

Round 2 goes to Ferguson.

Thompson desperately needs to get a finish in order to win this fight.

Can someone please explain why Ferguson decides to attempt low % submissions while dominating all of the striking exchanges?

If that fight went into a 4th round Thomson would have been in danger of losing via death stoppage - all his blood fell out.

Great fight. I'd probably say FOTN even though it was a little one sided just because of the heart and refusal to quit of Thomson. Speaking of Thomson, he might want to start thinking about retirement. He hasn't looked like himself in his last few fights.
