Ferguson: I have identified weaknesses in the Khabib style long ago

Former UFC middleweight champion Tony Ferguson continues to recover after the cruciate ligament rupture of the knee and does not doubt that he will return to the octagon before the end of this year. The 34-year-old American is ready to meet any opponent, but there are two names that interest him most.

"Now Khabib and I can be considered champions, and McGregor is not at all about business. The main opposition for today is I'm against Khabib. I identified weaknesses in his style when I was preparing for the first battle. I saw him having great difficulties in his fight with Tibau, whom I killed in the second round. My skills will be too difficult for him. He says he'll wear me out, but I'm sure it's impossible. I will impose to him such a pace that he will not survive.

“If I have the opportunity to meet Khabib, I will be ready. I will prepare in any case, but if I am offered good money for the fight with Conor, then we will sit at the table. I would like to see Conor return because he is a true athlete. Understand your problems and get back to business," Ferguson said.

Yesterday Nurmagomedov said that Ferguson is still his most desirable rival for him.
