UFC 249: 5 reasons why Tony Ferguson will beat Khabib Nurmagomedov

#4 - Unorthodox arsenal

Nobody in the UFC fights quite like Tony Ferguson

There is nobody that fights like Tony Ferguson. Ferguson knows this himself, famously branding his style of fighting as 'snap-jitsu'. This self-proclaimed fighting style has clearly worked to great success for Ferguson, who is on a 12-fight winning streak.

But this is what makes Tony Ferguson so potent in the cage - nobody knows what he has under his sleeve. From spinning elbows and flying kicks standing up, to forward rolls and short elbows on the ground, Tony Ferguson has a range of unorthodox weapons in his arsenal.

This contrasts with Khabib, who has always utilized the same gameplan of mauling all his opponents on the ground - albeit to incredible success.

Considering Ferguson's highly unorthodox style, it would not be surprising if he shows up to his next fight with new tricks up his sleeve, that give him a huge upper hand against someone as dominant as Khabib.
