Khabib Nurmagomedov is just days away from finally fighting for the UFC Lightweight Championship. The interim belt is up for grabs in the co-main event of the evening when Nurmagomedov meets Tony Ferguson in the center of the octagon in what will be a heated conclusion to their epic trash-talking rivalry.
Nurmagomedov boasts an impressive undefeated record and he is putting that on the line this weekend during a five-round contest with Ferguson. Khabib seems confident that he will finish Tony, telling the media [via. Fox Sports]:
“I can stand up with him. I can fight with him. I can wrestle with him. This is MMA. This is not just one sport like boxing or something. I think he’s unpredictable and he’s very dangerous, elbows, knees, push kicks, everything but when you have a MMA fight it’s going to be different. When you have takedowns, slams, submissions, striking, everything, this is my game.”
“My plan is make him tired, little bit talk with him and he understands who is who and after [I] finish him.”
