5 UFC fan favorites who are loved despite their losing streaks

#4. Donald Cerrone - UFC welterweight

Cerrone is 0-5 (1NC) in his last six fights

Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone is another UFC legend who has developed a relationship with the fans that can't be damaged by a few losses. While he was an elite lightweight for the majority of his career, 'Cowboy's' form has trailed off in recent times as he has not won in his last six bouts.

With that being said, the 38-year-old has consistently faced tough competition. Battles against Justin Gaethje and Conor McGregor have contributed to his current losing streak. While some have called for 'Cowboy' to consider retirement, his love of fighting that won so many fans over may lead to him continuing for some time.

Fans will always adore 'Cowboy' given the wealth of moments that the all-time UFC wins leader has provided. He made a name for himself for his willingness to fight any man anytime and regularly taking fights on short notice. It will be very interesting to see what his next move will be in 2022.

#3. Tony Ferguson - UFC lightweight

Ferguson is 0-3 in his last three fights

Tony Ferguson has built a loyal following through his out-there personality and unique style inside the octagon. 'El Cucuy' is original in everything he does and, as such, receives plenty of support in each of his fights.

Not so long ago, Ferguson was on a ridiculous 12-fight win streak and was set to face Khabib Nurmagomedov for the lightweight championship. That fight never materialized and he has now found himself on a three-fight losing streak. Despite the losses, he continues to receive plenty of love from the fans.

Given his current losing streak, Ferguson's next fight will be a very important one. Regardless of whether he is able to turn things around or if his current slide continues, his loyal army of supporters won't be jumping ship any time soon.
