The beef between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov is seriously underrated in the UFC. These two were supposed to throw down in the octagon several times, but things just never panned out. Recently “El Cucuy” through his social media threw a slur at Khabib Nurmagomedov’s physique which got a strong response from team Khabib.
At that time, when Nurmagomedov and Ferguson were at the top of their game, much was said about them fighting in a huge match. But fate had some other plans and their fight never took place. Nurmagomedov retired as a champion, but it has not been so easy for Ferguson.

Tony Ferguson is coming off with a seven-streak losing streak and his last fight against Paddy Pimblet was a brutal one. The fighter has not been the same since his fight against Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler, with his last win coming in June, 2019.
On the other hand, Khabib Nurmagomedov has retired from the world of MMA altogether, and seems like he has no plans on returning. In his most recent escapade, “El Cuccy” has attacked Khabib Nurmagomedov with a post on his Instagram handle. The fighter has uploaded a video of them fighting in the UFC video game with Ferguson dominating Nurmagomedov.
