LAS VEGAS – Tony Ferguson no longer holds the interim lightweight title, but that doesn’t make him feel like any less of a champion heading into UFC 229. Ferguson (23-3 MMA, 13-1 UFC) returns to action from a year-long layoff Saturday when he meets Anthony Pettis (21-7 MMA, 8-6 UFC) in the UFC 229 co-headliner from T-Mobile Arena. Had it not been for knee surgery earlier this year, “El Cucuy” potentially would be fighting Conor McGregor in the main event instead of Khabib Nurmagomedov
