AKA gym head coach Javier Mendez spoke about the attitude of the former UFC lightweight champion Khabiba Nurmagomedova to Tony Ferguson.
“Can you imagine how hot the season of The Ultimate Fighter would be if Khabib and Tony became coaches? They have a real chemistry of likes and dislikes. To some extent, Khabib respects and admires Tony, but at the same time he cannot stand him. Tony chose the right strategy for Khabib's attacks - he doesn't offend religion, but makes fun of him.
Dana White, if you're hearing this, do it in the new season of TUF!" Mendes said on the Schmozone podcast.
