This Khabib Nurmagomedov – Tony Ferguson duo has been calling out each other and fueling the atmosphere for a possible clash since forever. However, until now they did not have the luck to meet in the octagon. It is a really good-known fact that the Russian retired from fighting. There is no money in the world that can bring him back. But, since he is a coach now, his trainee facing Tony Ferguson’s trainee is always a possibility.
Even though this is not the fight that we are all wanting to see, it is as close as the turn of events can come to the actual fight. According to Ferguson, taking part in the TUF program which is like a talent show for the UFC is the right way to go. Tony Ferguson himself rose to the top players in the UFC after his win in the TUF 13 tournament.
Will A Khabib Nurmagomedov Against Tony Ferguson Fight Finally Happen – It Might, But Not In the Way You Think
“I believe when his dad said we were supposed to compete, I believe that. I would love to be able to coach against him on The Ultimate Fighter. It doesn’t matter what game we play. It would be cool to go out there, shake the dude’s hand, kinda squash some beef, and move on.” – Ferguson says for The MMA hour.
And this idea might be really good. Both of the fighters already have proven their worth as fighters. Now they can measure their strengths as trainers and coaches.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is fond of this idea as well. He is keen to take a newcomer under his wing and train him from the beginning to the end.
“Tony I like the idea about TUF, call your bosses and let them make an offer. But if they don’t have ideas, I myself will offer you a deal on the EagleFightClub platform, we doing some business here you know.” -Nurmagomedov replies to the Cucuy.
Ferguson recently faced a great loss to Michael Chandler. This loss is one that people will remember for a long time. It will leave a great stain on his career. The greatness of a fighter is not only in his strength and power in his prime. It is in the knowledge of when to stop and retire without putting dirt on his legacy. And the only dirt that can happen for a fighter is to be unable to win a bout for a long period. And on top of that to continue humiliating himself by arranging new fights and keep losing.
We hope that this clash of these two legends will happen. Even if it is not a real fight between the two, it might somehow strangely satisfy some rival feelings that they might have towards each other. And not only that but at the same time satisfy the thirst for a clash between the two that the public might have.
