En matchning mellan lättviktarna Khabib Nurmagomedov och Tony Ferguson meddelades tidigare ha blivit bokad för UFC 209 i mars, något som Khabibs manager sedan hävdade var ett rykte.
Khabib tycker att matchningen är intressant och berättar att anledningen till att han vill slå in ansiktet pä Ferguson beror på för mycket snack.
Via RT:
The UFC asked me about this fight march 4, UFC 209 – and I said yes, I want to fight this, I want to take this fight. I want to fight with Tony and we – everybody, my team – are waiting for his answer.
I think this is a real high level fight in the lightweight division right now. Nine win streak in UFC versus eight win streak, I think UFC before never made this kind of fight because nine win streak versus eight win streak, this has never happened before. i think this is a very big fight. Everybody wants to watch this fight and I want to take this fight.
I think he’s a tough fight, good fighter. Little bit talk too much, that’s why I want to break his face. I like this fight.
Nurmagomedov segrade senast mot Michael Johnson via kimura under UFC 205.
