Tony Ferguson Calls Khabib To Trash Talk Him, Records It — You’re Welcome

UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson and top contender Khabib Nurmagomedov are now set to throw down for the undisputed title. With the fight now drawing nearer, the two mixed martial arts phenoms have entered a heated exchange over the phone.

In the video above, “El Cucuy” and Nurmagomedov can be heard having a conversation over the phone. Within the recording, things quickly became heated between the two fighters.

Nurmagomedov and Ferguson have been locked in to face each other inside the octagon on multiple occasions now. Most recently, “The Eagle” was pulled out of the co-main event for UFC 209 due to weight management issues. Ferguson and Nurmagomedov would have fought for the interim lightweight title at the event.

Now, however, the two fighters will be facing off at UFC 223. The event goes down April 7 inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. UFC 223 will air live on pay-per-view for fight fans worldwide.

During the heated exchange over the phone, the conversation quickly turned to Nurmagomedov’s recent weight management issue.

Nurmagomedov: “Remember, inside that cage, I am going to break you.”

Ferguson: “The only thing that you are going to break is your heart after I kick your ass.”

Nurmagomedov: “We’ll see what happens.”

Ferguson: “Just try to make weight, dude.”

Nurmagomedov: “I will make weight. Now, my weight is great.”
