Ferguson lost to Corey Browning via TKO (punches) at 2:08 of Round 2 at Bellator 207 on Friday in Uncasville, Conn.
ANALYSIS
Ferguson had been making noticeable improvements in his MMA game. However, he burned himself out in this fight and allowed his opponent to take over. In the first round, Ferguson landed some hard shots and took the top position. However, Browning survived and made it a scramble fight. In the second round, Ferguson once again came out looking to dominate. He scored a takedown, moved to the mount and threatened with a pair of submissions. Browning survived, reversed position and punched until the finish. Ferguson will likely keep his job due to his name, and he is still a virtual novice in the sport.

Antonio McKee is one of the most underrated trainers in the game, and Ferguson will only get better.
