The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is gearing up for the highly anticipated match up between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov. With the exciting title fight now growing closer, the two mixed martial arts warriors have entered another heated verbal exchange.
The live pay-per-view event of UFC 223 is set to go down April 7 inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The intense fight card is set to see tough UFC lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov finally face off against UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson.
The two fighting phenoms have been scheduled to face off inside the octagon multiple times now. However, bad weight cuts and injuries have kept the fighters from ever making it toe-to-toe.
Now Nurmagomedov and “El Cucuy” will throw down for the undisputed UFC lightweight title. Appearing on the recent UFC 223 media conference call, Ferguson decided to do a workout while speaking with media members.
When a media member decided to ask Ferguson what workout he was doing, Nurmagomedov retaliated.
“I think he cleans some house.” Nurmagomedov stated. “He interim champ, no make money, people don’t pay him. All his stuff, nobody buys his stuff. So, I think he cleans some house.”
Tony Ferguson referred to himself as a “beaner.”
“Yeah, like a Mexican beaner. That’s what I am. And everything you say to me about big ears and losing my hair, I don’t give two (expletive).” Ferguson told Nurmagomedov.
