A. Nurmagomedov: Ferguson fight will be the same as Barboza's

Famous Russian MMA coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov shared his impressions of the fight between his son Khabib Nurmagomedov against the Brazilian Edson Barboza. The fight took place at UFC 219 and ended with a confident victory of Khabib.

"Will Ferguson sort it out if they give one more opportunity?"

- I think yes. It will be the same as with Barboza. He will also beat him in the stalls - what he does best.

- Are problems with weight solved?

- This time Khabib was very responsive to weight loss. He started the process two months before the date. He was very serious and here's the result. As he says, it was the easiest weight loss for his whole career. Before he talked about the possibility of moving into a heavier category.

- Do you think it's worth it?

- Since he gained a weight today and showed a very beautiful fight, he must finish what he started. And then think about whether to move on or not. But Khabib between his fights weighs quite a lot, and I think in another category he will be the same, or maybe even better.
