Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov told why Tony Ferguson at 38, he doesn't even think about ending his career.
"The time has gone. Nobody can bring him back. Neither Khabib nor Tony - nobody. We had our time, but it's gone. He continues to fight, but, as it were... Money is needed. In America, you have to pay bills. And everything that he won, I can say with confidence, since he is Californian, since I know all the Californian fighters - they pay, in my opinion, 48 percent. All he won is minus half. Either way, you have to fight.
He keeps fighting for money, bills, taxes. He has a family, two children. I don't blame him. It's just that time doesn't come back. When it leaves, it doesn't ask what your name is," Nurmagomedov said in an interview with the UFC.
Recall that Ferguson is on a series of five defeats in a row. In their last fight on September 10 at UFC 279, El Cucuy lost via submission to Nate Diaz.
