El Cucuy is a threat from everywhere. He has finished 8 of his 12 UFC opponents by either KO / D'Arce or rear-naked choke. Two huge advantages for Ferguson Saturday night are his stamina and his big-fight experience. He has beaten some of the best lightweights in the world on the big stage and his durability, conditioning and toughness is unmatched by most fighters on the planet.
Lee is getting a huge promotional push from the UFC for this fight. He is riding a five fight winning streak but he is getting tossed straight into the fire in an interim title match vs. a proven vet who might be a little too much for him this early in his career. In no way would I find it surprising if the Motown Phenom was able to secure a takedown in the first and possibly win the round, but I just don't see him having too much success when the fight hits the floor. As the fight goes on, Ferguson’s constant pressure and pace should slow Lee down. As Lee slows down, Ferguson should be able to take over hopefully sinking in something deep and tapping out the cocky up and comer.
Ferguson wins inside distance -120
