Josh Thomson thinks Tony Ferguson ’s style would pose issues for Conor McGregor . Ferguson (25-8 MMA, 15-6 UFC) has been linked to McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) after claiming that he got the call to coach opposite McGregor on Season 31 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” Both Ferguson and McGregor are currently on losing skids, with “El Cucuy” dropping his past five in a row. But Thomson, who was sliced up in a unanimous decision loss to Ferguson in 2015, thinks one aspect of Ferguson’s game would give him a significant advantage over McGregor.
