UFC 229 Preview: Countdown to McGregor vs. Khabib

#2. Anthony Pettis vs. Tony Ferguson:

UFC 229 Khabib v McGregor: Open Workouts

In the co-main-event of the night, Anthony Pettis is set to take on Tony Ferguson. The winner of either these bouts could go on to become the number 1 contender for the UFC Lightweight title.

Paired with Nurmagomedov for three times before this, with each time being cancelled, Ferguson will be hoping that a win here will finally get him a shot at the title that he has been after for a while now.

A good showing by 'Showtime', however, could spoil things for him.
