Khabib Nurmagomedov has not lost hope that he would be able to perform at UFC 249 and fight Tony Ferguson.
"Now I am in Russia. And I am not here by choice. I arrived for the consultation with UFC. I was told that the fight will 99% take place in Abu Dhabi. And I just take place on the other side of the ocean from the United States. Now I can not fly to the fight, but I'm getting ready..." Nurmagomedov said.
