6. Tony Ferguson
Ferguson’s last 4 fights have all earned performance bonuses, and there is nothing to say that trend won’t continue. There is a lot of buzz around “El Cucuy” right now, and a lot of reason to believe he could be the next in line for a title shot.
With an 8-fight winning streak, including victories over Edson Barboza and Josh Thomson, its hard to argue that Ferguson is the most deserving of the next title shot against Eddie Alvarez, but much of that will depend on when and who #1 contender Khabib Nurmagomedov fights next.
