Tony Ferguson still believes he would be the one to give Khabib Nurmagomedov his first loss. The American has always stated that Nurmagomedov ducked him because he was scared he would lose. UFC India recently posted an edited photo of ‘The Eagle’ and ‘El Cucuy’ in the elevator together in their fighting stances. Ferguson responded to the post, calling out the former champion and hinting at breaking his unbeaten record.
The UFC scheduled the Tony Ferguson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov fight 5 times. However, the fight never took place as either of the fighters kept pulling out.
