3) Justin Gaethje vs Tony Ferguson (UFC 249)

This fight might be a controversial pick but it proved how great Justin Gaethje is while also highlighting the toughness of Tony Ferguson.

While Ferguson’s second loss to Charles Oliveira could have also made the list, this one was something else.

Gaethje played a waiting game in this fight and took his chances in the final two rounds. Ferguson was battered during the final minutes but kept on going.

This was the changing of the guard too with the decline of Ferguson on the way and the rise of the others.
