I'm surprised how underrated Tony Ferguson still is here. It's possibly because he's unlikable to many but he's a very legit well rounded fighter.
I think he's the biggest stylistic nightmare for Maia under 170lbs.
He's a huge LW, he bulked up to 200 in preparation for his fight with Khabib, he's a natural MW and basically the same size as Demian.
He has legit wrestling and Maia won't be able to take him down. In the stand up he'd beat Maia from pillar to post and put some serious leather on him.
His cardio advantage over Maia is unreal too, if it's a 5 round fight I can see Maia completely gassed and wobbled by Tony's brutal striking in the 4th and 5th rounds enabling Ferguson to finish the fight with a choke to make a huge statement.
