Tony Ferguson The UFC’s lightweight world is pretty wide open for Tony Ferguson , who submitted Abel Trujillo at UFC 181 to improve his UFC record to 7-1.

On Tuesday’s edition of MMAjunkie Radio, Ferguson (17-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) said his next opponent could come from a trio of standouts: Jim Miller , Al Iaquinta and Nate Diaz . “These are all names that are awesome,” Ferguson said. “They’re top-ranked guys.” Diaz, of course, is booked to fight Rafael dos Anjos (22-7 MMA, 11-5 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC on FOX 13 co-headliner, so his eligibility may hinge on the outcome of that fight.
