UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson left a formidable message for his opponent, Khabib Nurmagomedov, who will fight on April 7 in Brooklyn, USA.
"I do not just miss the blows in my fights - I want my opponents to waste energy, but Khabib can not touch me. I will dance around this guy and I will thrust into him my hardest uppercuts that will make him think twice before trying to knock me to the ground.
"Have you ever seen Khabib cut in a fight? I do not think so. I am a Mexican, and my elbows are damn dangerous blades. This guy is better to think twice before approaching me closely. Approach me and I will meet you with my monstrous knees. He will bleed from the first to the third round.
"It would be great to finish Khabib with blows to the liver, right? I just want to see how he suffers with the pain in the stance - that's what awaits him," Ferguson said.
