With Khabib Nurmagomedov bidding adieu to the MMA completely, another one of his manager’s clients is ready to take the spot. Li Jingliang is looking to settle things with Tony Ferguson in this new year. These two were supposed to square off against each other at UFC 279 in September last year, but due to the last-minute shuffle in the card, it didn’t go as planned. However, ‘The Leech’ is now represented by the powerhouse MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz under Dominance MMA management. With that development, it appears that Jingliang is now looking to proceed further by getting his unfinished business done with Tony Ferguson. And with that approach in mind, the Chinese UFC fighter has called out Ferguson, along with a pre-stated timeline for the fight.
