UFC Fight Night 98 in Tweets: Pros react to Tony Ferguson vs. Rafael dos Anjos, Alexa Grasso's debut, more

Tony Ferguson proved once again why he is one of the biggest -- if not the biggest -- threat to the UFC's 155-pound belt.

"El Cucuy" picked apart former UFC lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos for five rounds in the main event of Saturday's UFC Fight Night 98 in Mexico City. Watch below how the pros reacted to Ferguson's impressive victory, as well as Diego Sanchez's win over Marcin Held, strawweight prospect Alexa Grasso's promotional debut, and more.

Tony "Salsa" Ferguson #UFCMexico

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) November 6, 2016

Poor Khabib........... Gotta give the next shot to Ferg. If he beats MJ (not easy at all) maybe Barboza?

— Nick Newell (@NotoriousNewell) November 6, 2016

That was impressive man @TonyFergusonXT beast

— Truck Gordon (@TruckMMA_UFC) November 6, 2016

Great fight. @TonyFergusonXT is such a savage!

— Yves Edwards (@thugjitsumaster) November 6, 2016

Crazy performance by Ferguson 49-46 IMO #UFCMexico

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) November 6, 2016

. @TonyFergusonXT continues to be one of the most exciting fighters to watch in the ufc. Legendary toughness & chin as well. #UFCMexico

Diego Sanchez def. Marcin Held

I ALWAYS root for @DiegoSanchezUFC he's a true warrior

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) November 6, 2016

Everyone in the restaurant talking about how crazy @DiegoSanchezUFC fights get... @UFC

— Alpha Cat Zingano (@CatZingano) November 6, 2016

Wow! Sanchez showing crazy grit and cage experience over Held, how crazy was that guillotine escape?! #UFCMexico

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) November 6, 2016

Let's go @DiegoSanchezUFC !!!!!!! #UFCMexico

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) November 6, 2016

. @DiegoSanchezUFC shows his amazing will and grappling skill once again. People forget about his amazing wins against Nick Diaz & Karo.

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) November 6, 2016

Too much for Held to overcome but he will do better in the near future imo: debut against a tough vet, altitude, leg locks not working, etc

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) November 6, 2016

Solid performance from the nightream/dreamare - weird to see him with no cut??

— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) November 6, 2016

What a #beast @DiegoSanchezUFC is #UFCMexico

— John Dodson III (@JohnDodsonMMA) November 6, 2016

Diego just breaks people's will. It's crazy to watch #UFCMexico

Ricardo Lamas def. Charles Oliveira

Did anyone see that elbow straight to the back Of the neck ? #UFCMexico

— Chris Tickle (@badboytickle) November 6, 2016

Oliveira got more fights at LW than Fw. Any bout where he misses weight is a LW bout not a FW one.

— Cole Miller (@colemillerATT) November 6, 2016

I was just about to say "You don't celebrate a victory when you miss weight by 9lbs" before I realized who was who in that fight

— Sean McCorkle (@BigSexyMcCorkle) November 6, 2016

Wow impressive fight from Lamas

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) November 6, 2016

Olivera deserved to lose that #UFCMexico
