tony ferguson khabib nurmagomedov staredown

Nyligen meddelades det att UFC planerade ett möte om interimbältet i lättvikt mellan Tony Ferguson och fjäderviktsmästaren Max Holloway som går upp en viktklass.

Sedan meddelade dock Ferguson att han inte kommer att gå denna matchen. Det blir nu istället Dustin Poirier som välkomnar Holloway till lättvikten.

Ferguson var tidigare interimmästare i viktklassen innan han skadade sig inför det fjärde planerade mötet mot Khabib Nurmagomedovsom sedan blev den nye lättviktsmästaren.

Det här hade Nurmagomedov att säga om interimtitelmatchen, där han menar att Ferguson gick miste om sin chans:

I want to remind you guys, that before I become champion, I was close to the title fight 3 times and all 3 times I missed my opportunity. First was in July 2016 when I was offered to fight in Ramadan month and I turned it down, second was UFC 205 NYC when I was offered a title fight, bout agreement signed, but my title was given away, you know the story. Third time was UFC 209 where I was hospitalized and almost died. But after every single fail I were said: you missed your chance, earn your shot with one more victory. Tony you had your chance and you missed it, and that’s your fault only. You know that I’m disqualified and can’t fight, but it’s not fair to strip me off the title, I fought 3 times in 9 months. I won and defended my belt. As a fighter you deserve a title fight, you are great fighter and opponent, but now you have to fight or wait for my DQ to be over and fight(but UFC doesn’t want it). I don’t understand your offenses, if you fell down, you got to get up, not complain. #ufc #mma #ufclightweight

Nurmagomedov avtjänar just sitt straff genom avstängning av NSAC efter bråket under UFC 229, där han mötte Conor McGregor. 

Den ryske mästaren kan gå match redan i april, men har berättat att han först tänker gå match i november när lagkamraterna Zubaira Tukhugov och Abubakar Nurmagomedovs avstängningar är slut.

Vad tycker ni om Nurmagomedovs kommentarer om Ferguson?
