Tony Ferguson made history in the worst type of way Saturday when his losing skid hit an octagon record eight fights courtesy of Michael Chiesa at UFC on ABC 7.

Ferguson (25-11 MMA, 15-9 UFC) saw his stunning career slide hit a further low after he suffered a first-round submission defeat to Chiesa (19-7 MMA, 11-8 UFC), and with it surpassed B.J. Penn for most consecutive defeats in the welterweight bout at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

After the fight, Ferguson gave an emotional speech which indicated he will retire from UFC competition.
