#2 A win over McGregor will prove his credentials
Tony Ferguson does not talk as much as some other fighters, and the truth is he does not need to. He lets his performances and record do all the talking on behalf of him. Currently, he is on a huge 11-fight win streak which is impressive by itself.
Despite his huge winning streak, there are still many fans who do not believe he is at the same level as McGregor or Nurmagomedov. They feel that he has not been tested enough at a top level. This belief is completely unjustified and unfair to Ferguson.
In such a condition, although he does not need to show fans anything, a fight against Conor McGregor might be the only way to establish himself as the top level fighter that he is in the eyes of the fans.
A win over McGregor will cement his UFC legacy and ensure that people recognise him for the huge talent that he is.
