Khabib Nurmagomedov has welcomed Tony Ferguson 's offer to coach The Ultimate Fighter against him.
Ferguson has continued to call out longtime UFC rival Nurmagomedov despite the Russian officially retiring from fighting last year. The pair were first scheduled to fight seven years ago, but five cancelled bookings later and they are still yet to face each other in the cage.
A fight is likely dead and buried after Nurmagomedov has started up his own MMA promotion, Eagle FC, and promised to never fight again following the death of his father. But he does seem keen on entertaining Ferguson's offer of coaching 'TUF' together.
