Filed under: Featured , News , UFC UFC lightweight contender Tony Ferguson said his former training partner, WWE superstar Brock Lesnar , is returning to the UFC octagon at just the right time. One of the select few to spend significant time inside Lesnar’s now-defunct Alexandria, Minn., training facility, Team Death Clutch, Ferguson has been in the trenches with the former heavyweight champion. And with Lesnar (5-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) set to make his long-awaited comeback after more than four years away from the cage – against Mark Hunt (12-10-1 MMA, 7-4-1 UFC) at UFC 200 on July 9 – Ferguson is convinced his mentor has what it takes to be a legitimate threat in the heavyweight division. “If he can get his hand speed up a little bit and get his jiu-jitsu going, I think he’ll be alright,” Ferguson (20-3 MMA, 10-1 UFC), who headlines UFC Fight Night 91 on July 13 against Michael Chiesa (14-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC), told MMAjunkie.
