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.

He said, “You’re Saying It Wrong. Thought I Taught You Better Ya’ Thot. You A**holes Forget Where You Get Your Phrases From Like Any Other Casual. Sit Down & Shut Up Before I Ankle Pick You. *mack*. More Annoying Than An Clingy Ex, Fatheads Done Staying Relevant- Champ -CSO-“

The saga between two of the greatest lightweights seems unending. While ‘The Eagle‘ is now retired and owns an MMA organization of his own, Ferguson is on a three-fight losing streak and is looking to get back inside the octagon and find his old form.
