Khabib Nurmagomedov Asked to “Man-Up” by Tony Ferguson Amidst Bellator-Eagle FC Cross Promotion Insinuation

After retiring from the sport of MMA as an undefeated legend, Khabib Nurmagomedov has started a new journey in life. The former champion is now an MMA trainer and a successful fight promoter as well.

Nurmagomedov’s Eagle FC has been a huge success for him and he continues to make it bigger and bigger after each pay-per-view. Recently, the former UFC champion struck a deal with the renowned MMA promotion, Bellator. To set up a bout between Junior dos Santos and Fedor Emelianenko.

Nurmagomedov signed Junior dos Santos to his fighting promotion. The Brazilian also fought under the Eagle FC banner last month and lost to Yorgan De Castro. Now, Nurmagomedov wants to set up a bout with dos Santos and the heavyweight legend Fedor Emelianenko and it seems like he has reached an agreement with Scott Coker to make the bout happen.

However, UFC fighter Tony Ferguson did not seem very happy with this insinuation between eagle FC and Bellator. He commented on MMA Fighting’s post of this news and asked Khabib to man up.

Ferguson wrote, “ Khabieber Needs To Man-Up” and added several emojis, out of which one was a desert emoji. Seems like Ferguson is still trolling the Dagestani for missing weight before their bout in 2017 after being spotted eating tiramisu.

Justin Gaethje says Khabib Nurmagomedov was his toughest opponent

Khabib Nurmagomedov had one of the most dominant runs in the UFC. The fighter never lost a single fight in his entire career and absolutely destroyed every fighter he took on inside the octagon.

The last opponent of his famed career was the American fighter, Justin Gaethje. Gaethje and ‘The Eagle’ fought at UFC 254 at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, and Khabib won the fight by submission.

In a recent interview, Gaethje admitted that Nurmagomedov was his toughest opponent to date. He also admitted that Khabib was the great pound-for-pound fighter in the modern era.

Gaethje said,” with the passing of his father. Him having the knowledge that it was going to be his last fight. He was almost impossible to beat that night.”
