Khabib “The Eagle” Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson are both gunning for their first taste of UFC gold at UFC 209 this Saturday night. The match up is as high level as it gets with both fighters riding long win streaks in one of the UFC’s toughest weight classes. The war of words between the two of them has also been intense, but looks to have stepped to a new level during fight week.
