Tony Ferguson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the greatest fights that never happened. Both men were booked to fight multiple times, but every time, due to some reason, they fell off. Many consider Nurmagomedov the greatest lightweight of all time, but also believe that Ferguson would’ve been his toughest test.
‘The Eagle’ is now retired, but it seems like they both still can’t get enough of each other. Nurmagomedov and ‘El Cucuy’ keep taking shots at each other. The latest one to have a go is Ferguson. The former UFC interim lightweight champion responded to a tweet by Nurmagomedov’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz.
