Tony Ferguson reveals the most brutal stoppage of his entire career… ‘That was the bloodiest one’

Tony Ferguson has secured many a brutal finish throughout his career.

On Saturday night, ‘El Cucuy’ returned to action at Misfits 22 inside the AO Arena in Manchester, UK, with the intent of securing his first victory since 2019.

In a spectacular moment, Ferguson stopped Salt Papi to send fans into meltdown, with the MMA community revelling in the icon returning to winning ways.

But while he landed some heavy shots on the YouTuber, it certainly wasn’t the most gruesome stoppage he’s ever secured.

On December 11, 2015, the warriors battled it out in a showdown that left the spectators on the edge of their seats.

Ferguson flew at his opponent from the opening bell, eating counters for his efforts in a tough opening round.

However, he refused to back down, cutting Barboza with a vicious elbow in the second.

The pair, who were both covered in blood, continued to trade massive shots until the fight hit the mat and Ferguson locked in a choke to force his adversary to tap.

While almost a decade has passed since that night, the popular athlete still views it as his best finish.

In an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, he said: “The one with Edson Barboza, that was the bloodiest one, it was a good one.”
