After the fallout of UFC 209’s co-main event, it would appear that Khabib’s manager and Tony Ferguson are having a little beef.
UFC 209 was set to see top lightweight contenders Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov face off for the interim title. Unfortunately, Nurmagomedov was rushed to the hospital after having weight management issues. The fight was quickly canceled.
Since the incident, Ferguson and Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, have had a little confrontation.
Ferguson shot back at the manager over Twitter.
“Since You Speak For Them…Step…In…Make Weight & Fight For Your Clients. Otherwise STFU.” Ferguson said.
Then, Abdelaziz responed in kind.
“you think you make me nervous? Anytime you see me I’m on weight you can get it @ChaelSonnen can set it up also,” Abdelaziz said.
