Ferguson is coming off a loss against Beneil Dariush at UFC 262 in the co-main event. He is coming off a three-fight losing streak but he still is fan-favorite. A matchup with someone like Iaquinta sure does look good for both of them. “Right now, at this point, the fight with Tony Ferguson might make a little sense,” said Al in the interview.

“He had a couple of tough fights, I had a couple of tough fights. He’s always dangerous, always tough. I think that would be a fight that would interest me for sure.” Would you like to see this matchup in the future?
