Khabib Nurmagomedov had a spotless performance at UFC 254, except when he stepped on the scale. Although ‘The Eagle’ has left the sport at 29-0, Tony Ferguson is still pursuing a fight with the lightweight champion. This time around, Tony has made fun of Khabib’s controversial weigh-in at UFC 254.
Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov have been scheduled to fight each other five times. However, the fight between the two never came to fruition. With Khabib surprising the world with his retirement, the fight will probably go down as one of the biggest what-ifs in UFC history.
Following Khabib’s retirement, most of the other UFC stars were praising him for his unblemished career. However, ‘El Cucuy’ still didn’t give up hope of stepping inside the Octagon against the Russian champ.

With Khabib Nurmagomedov out of the picture, can Tony Ferguson win the lightweight title?
Tony Ferguson once held a long streak of victories in one of the toughest divisions of the UFC. However, Justin Gaethje broke the streak earlier this year at UFC 249 via a TKO. However, with ‘The Highlight’ losing to Khabib and the latter retiring, the 155-pound division is left wide open.

There are a number of contenders up for the challenge of stepping up as the new champion. One has to keep in mind though, that Dana White is not yet ready to take the belt away from Khabib. However, even if the champ does end his retirement, there’s a high probability that he does so to fight Georges St-Pierre.
