Heading:⁣ Chiesa vs. Ferguson Showdown in Abu Dhabi

In a⁢ highly anticipated matchup between UFC veterans, Michael Chiesa and Tony​ Ferguson are set to face‌ off in‍ the welterweight⁣ division this Saturday in Abu Dhabi, United Arab ⁢Emirates.

Origins of ​the Fight

Chiesa vs. Ferguson was initially planned ‌eight years ago as a lightweight clash on UFC Fight Night 91, but it was canceled due to Chiesa’s back injury. ⁣Now, Ferguson moves up to the welterweight ⁣division for ⁤what could potentially be his​ retirement bout.

Fight​ Analysis

Coach Rick Little emphasizes that Chiesa’s size advantage will play a crucial role in this fight. Despite being the underdog according to UFC betting odds, Ferguson’s experience and skills cannot be underestimated.

Strengths and Strategies ⁤

Both fighters have a background ‍in ground fighting, with Chiesa known for his submission wins and Ferguson‌ showcasing ⁢versatility with both‍ submissions and knockouts. Conditioning and ‌strength will also be key​ factors as these veterans enter the octagon.

Chiesa’s ⁤Defense Concerns

While Chiesa‍ has shown prowess⁤ in longer fights on the ground, recent losses via ‍submission raise questions about his⁤ d’arce choke ​defense. With three of his wins coming through this technique, Ferguson is likely to target it during the match.

Fighter ⁤Mentality

Despite being on a losing⁤ streak recently, Ferguson remains determined to deliver⁤ an exceptional performance ‌on Saturday. ‌As this marks his final fight under UFC⁣ contract, he is expected⁣ to give it his ⁢all without holding ⁣back.

Goals ⁤and Legacy

Chiesa’s focus has shifted from pursuing a title⁣ shot towards defeating a legend like Ferguson. Regardless of the ⁣outcome, both fighters continue to impact Spokane’s MMA⁣ scene positively by​ nurturing new talent within their community.

Event Details

The fight ⁤will take place at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi as part of UFC Fight Night: ⁣Sandhagen vs. Nurmagomedov. Fans can catch all the action live on ABC or ESPN platforms starting at noon on ⁣Saturday.
