UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson and tough division contender Khabib Nurmagomedov are now longer set to fight for the undisputed title. Now “The Eagle” has come forward with a message over the matter.
“El Cucuy” and Nurmagomedov were initially scheduled to compete for the undisputed UFC lightweight title at UFC 223. Just six days ahead of the match up, Ferguson tore his LCL after tripping during a media event.
Ferguson vs. Nurmagomedov has now been cancelled a staggering total of four times. “The Eagle will instead face off against UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway for the UFC lightweight title.
Taking to Instagram, Nurmagomedov now has a message for Ferguson.
“Tony heal up man. Just want to advise you, don’t talk too much anymore. Lot of thoughts in my head right now, but I don’t want to become like you. Hope, this lesson will teach you watch your mouth.”
