Michael Chandler recently stated that Tony Ferguson is one of a kind, and no training partner can prepare him for an opponent like that.
In an interview with Yahoo! Sports, 'Iron' said he believes Ferguson is very unpredictable and possesses many tools in his arsenal. Chandler further added that for that reason, he is excited to take on the former interim champion this weekend. 'Iron' is looking to go out there and put on a show at UFC 274:
"When you're fighting a guy like Tony Ferguson, he's as unpredictable as they come. He is a certified one of one talent. So, I don't have any training partners that can actually emulate Tony Ferguson. So that adds an extra wrinkle of intrigue to the fight. So, I am excited to go out there and compete man."

Both Chandler and Ferguson will enter the UFC 274 pay-per-view this weekend on the back of a losing streak. 'Iron' is on a two-fight skid. The 36-year-old lost his last two contests against Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira.
As for Ferguson, he is on a three-fight losing streak. Gaethje, Oliveira, and Beneil Dariush have all beaten 'El Cucuy.' The 38-year-old was once on a 12-fight winning streak in the lightweight division. However, he has looked like a shadow of his former self recently.

Justin Gaethje will challenge Charles Oliveira for the lightweight title in the main event of the pay-per-view card.
