Khabib Nurmagomedov has warned former rival Tony Ferguson he will never recapture his former glory.
The legendary former UFC champion was due to fight Ferguson on five separate occasions, but they were all cancelled due to a variety of reasons ranging from weight cut issues to injuries to a pandemic. And by the time Nurmagomedov was ready to defend his belt in October 2020 for one last time, Ferguson had already begun a losing streak that would continue to this day.
Initially signed up to fight in an undercard bout in 2015, Ferguson and Nurmagomedov's bout was always deemed the one that could define the Russian's legacy. But it never came to fruition, and now the ex-champion believes that Ferguson must understand that his time in the sport has come.
