5 of the most eccentric fighters in the UFC

#2 Johnny Walker - UFC light heavyweight

Johnny Walker has often been called a wildman when he steps inside the UFC octagon, and the moniker isn't entirely incorrect. However, he appears to exude the same amount of eccentricity both inside and out of the cage.

One example of the bizarre events surrounding Johnny Walker is the image below, which shows Walker having his beard combed just after he knocked Justin Ledet out cold in only 15 seconds.

There was also the time when Walker KO'd Misha Cirkunov in one round via flying knee, and then did 'the worm' in celebration. However, Walker was too vigorous in said celebration and promptly popped his shoulder out of place. This forced Walker to take eight months out in order to recover.

Watch the incident below:

Walker is now matched up with Thiago Santos in what will undoubtedly be the source of a plethora of unique moments involving the eccentric Brazilian.

#1 Tony 'El Cucuy' Ferguson - UFC lightweight

Never has there been a more unique individual in arguably the whole of UFC history. Tony Ferguson is a complete wildcard, with everything surrounding him in a constant state of unpredictability.

'El Cucuy' is known to condition his elbows and shins by slamming them into metal poles. Whether or not this is effective has not been scientifically proven, but it has to be said that Ferguson has some of the most lethal elbow attacks in the UFC.

Take a look at a video of Ferguson conditioning his elbows:

There are many videos of Ferguson's unique training methods out there. However, he stands out just as much when a mic is placed in front of him. Whether it's the nicknames he makes up for his rivals, e.g., McNuggets, or his outlandish gym stories.

Listen to his performance at the UFC 262 press conference:

Combat sports fans are unlikely ever to see a fighter bring the level of eccentricity that Ferguson has blessed us with during his time with the UFC.
