Tony Fergusons’s striking dictated the fight after the second round, when he started to pick former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos apart in Mexico City, to score a 48-47 unanimous decision win. On Twitter, pro fighters enjoyed both fighters’ efforts.

Ferguson asked Dos Anjos to hit him in the nose. Not even a second later his prayers were answered. Great fight so far

Poor Khabib……….. Gotta give the next shot to Ferg. If he beats MJ (not easy at all) maybe Barboza?
