Ferguson believes that the fight with Khabib will take place

Tony Ferguson at a press conference in Las Vegas expressed confidence that the former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov will resume his career for the fight with him.

“I am the only one who will force him to come out of retirement. This dude is far from retirement. It's just that when you lose someone close, you need a break to think and rethink everything, but his father said that our fight with Khabib should take place. He said this before he died, and Khabib has this in his head, ”El Kukuy said.

Tony also added that he had already discussed this fight with the UFC management, and it gave the green light to this fight.

Recall that Khabib ended his career in October 2020, winning in a farewell fight with a choke over Justin Gaethje.
