Tony Ferguson will likely return from injury against Michael Chiesa in July when the UFC debuts in South Dakota.

Great win by Chiesa over Dariush, and he's very slick on the ground, but I'm afraid Ferguson is too tough and strong, and picks him apart on the feet and scores a KO finish.

 

[NewYorkKnight]

I agree ... Ferguson has become a beast and coming off some decent rest IMO wins rather easily vs Chiesa

I think so too. Look for Scoggins to try hard for a stoppage here and boost his name up the ranking for a title shot by this time next year. hell, I think he's a better opponent for DJ than Reis is already...
