UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov told a Russian media outlet that not only is he no longer fighting in Nevada after dealing with their out of control athletic commission, but that he might be on ice long enough for the UFC to create an interim title.
He believes if that happens, former interim champ Tony Ferguson and Dustin Poirier should fight for it. While a Ferguson vs. Poirier fight is a dream come true, it’s not what the division or sport of mixed martial arts. It needs Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson.
I think Tony should be a bigger star. People just need to see his fights. They are always exciting with crazy comebacks. Plus he breakdances and talks about Ninja Turtles and shit.
I hope CM Punk gets the next shot at Interm champ champ status
Tony ferguson the type of guy to unify ten interim titles and still throw up the vulcan sign
Makes sense… Let Dustin rematch McConor in the meantime.
Strip Khabib of the belt and have Porier and Ferguson fight for it
I’m tired of the UFC mistreating fighters like Tony Ferguson and Jacare Souza in favor of money fights.
Nice content (unironically). Good to see you could take a break from riding Israel's d*ck
Say no to PEDs, Luke
Why don’t you say this to him during pressers and interviews
You have no back bone
So, what happens if Khabib sticks to his word and doesn't fight until October? You'd all rather wait for Tony-Khabib 8 months from now than watch Tony Ferguson vs. Dustin Poirier? Give me a break.
