Breakdown
This is a highly anticipated matchup between two of the best lightweights in the world. Ferguson is a submission specialist with a relentless pace, while Gaethje is a powerful striker with dynamite in his hands. Both fighters are coming off of losses, so they will be looking to make a statement in this fight.
Ferguson will likely try to use his reach and movement to keep Gaethje at bay and set up his takedowns. Gaethje, however, is a very good wrestler and has good takedown defense. He will also be looking to use his power to hurt Ferguson on the feet.
This is a very close matchup that could go either way. Ferguson is the more experienced fighter and has a better all-around game, but Gaethje has the power and the wrestling to pull off the upset.
