“The Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko has given some vital words of advice to Khabib Nurmagomedov. This comes just weeks before Khabib faces Tony Ferguson at UFC 249 on 19 April.
Khabib has an astounding record of 28-0-0 and is still going strong. People and officials are tossing around the topic of a Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor rematch every other day. Yet, Khabib always declines a fight with him, even for gigantic amounts of money.

Though Khabib is arguably the greatest and most respected fighter to walk the octagon in today’s time, there is still one hurdle left for him to cross. Tony Ferguson, ‘The Boogeyman’.
Tony Ferguson is currently #1 in the UFC Lightweight rankings, thus turning out to be the only one standing between a Conor vs. Khabib rematch. He also holds the record for the most consecutive wins. Arguably one of the greatest UFC Lightweight fighters ever, Tony is one person who no one takes lightly.
This fight is possibly the greatest threat to his career that Khabib will ever face. Will he prevail as he always has, or will Conor McGregor face Tony Ferguson next?

He said, “Khabib has found his style and wins by using his strengths. That’s good because he is a UFC champion and uses his strengths. In these elements, he stands above his rivals. However, Khabib must, of course, patch the gaps in his technique. For example, in the technique of punches and kicks. But he also does everything right. He also has time to polish these techniques to become even better.”
