There’s no question that fight fans have been really looking forward to the UFC 209 interim lightweight title fight between Khabib “The Eagle” Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson. The two top ranked lightweight fighters have been scheduled to meet on three different occasions now and with the earlier announcement that Khabib would be unable to make weight, MMA fans are once again left disappointed just twenty-four hours before their scheduled UFC 209 co-main event.
Just weeks ago, “The Eagle” was on his social media posting pictures of himself enjoying some fast food. Tony Ferguson had also been questioning Khabib’s conditioning and whether he would be able to make weight this week. As it turned out, he was correct.
Was this a product of Khabib not being disciplined enough with his diet, or was this just an unfortunate one-off occurrence?
