Former UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson turned to the current holder of the division title Khabib Nurmagomedov: “You couldn’t box your way out of a paper bag. I see you and the team working on that footwork. Running from a much needed ass whooping. Keep swimming shrimp, the fans like me better. I’m the champ, chump.” Ferguson tweeted.

Earlier, Nurmagomedov said that for him the fight with former boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather was more interesting than the fight with Ferguson, “both for the legacy, and in financial terms, and in terms of competition.”

The battle of Khabib and Tony was canceled four times.
