Lättviktsmästaren i UFC, Khabib Nurmagomedov, skall inte möta topprankade Tony Ferguson, menar Khabibs manager Ali Abdelaziz.
Enligt Abdelaziz är han ”för gammal” och ”bräcklig” i kroppen och det vore inte rättvist att ställa honom mot den ”mentalt starkare”, Nurmagomedov. Genom Ariel Helwanis MMA Show säger han följande.
Tony is a 36-year old twig. This is what he is, a skinny twig that gets dropped every fight. The guys is a mental midget. He blocked me, one day off, one day on, he blocked Khabib. He’s a confused individual. Tony will be one of Khabib’s easiest… Khabib fought Barboza, one of the best fighters, fought Al Iaquinta. We just saw what Al Iaquinta did to Kevin Lee. People say Khabib just fought a real estate guy, well that real estate guy is kicking ass. Guys get in order. Khabib is one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters ever. His records and number show.
Tre under samma kväll
People cannot tell me Tony is the guy. But if you think he’s the guy, line him up. I think Khabib will beat Tony, Poirier and Al again in the same fucking night. All of them. I really believe so. Beat them up. This man can not be defeated. Only God can defeat him.
Khabib Nurmagomedov gick sin senaste match under UFC 229 och besegrade den forne lätt -och fjäderviktsmästaren Conor McGregor genom neck crank i rond fyra.
