Tony Ferguson is up and ready to make an appearance at UFC 249. Who his opponent will be is undecided as of now.
The American sat down with Ariel Helwani to discuss UFC 249 and the current difficulties this event is facing. Tony Ferguson was originally supposed to face Khabib Nurmagomedov at the main event. But right now, Khabib may not be able to leave Russia owing to the current travel bans in place due to the Coronavirus. So where does this leave the fight?

In a surprising turn of events, Justin Gaethje has vocalized his availability. ‘The Highlight’ is ready to replace Khabib and fight Ferguson. However, Ferguson poked fun at Gaethje’s inexperience in the Octagon in terms of matches and said, “The dude’s got a 4-2 record man! “
Tony further said, “When they stripped me off my belt, it was like a round-robin tournament. I had to fight everybody. I fought everybody that was in the top 5. Finished them. And here we go! I’m back in the same spot. I’m the F**king Champ!”
