Ferguson boasts two remarkable records in the UFC, each mirroring the other. He holds the record for the longest winning streak and, conversely, the record for the longest losing streak.

The losing streak started with his loss to Justin Gaethje and since then, there has been no victory for the American legend.

People are speculating that this might be the end of Ferguson and he might consider retirement, however, no official statement has come from the fighter. In his most recent escapade “El Cuccy” took to his Instagram handle to add a photo with his son on his story and captioned it as “I Don’t Expect Any Of You To Get It… & I’m Ok W/That Love You My Big Boy Angel Anthony”
