Tony Ferguson refusing to give up on fight with "fat" Khabib Nurmagomedov

Tony Ferguson is still pushing for a fight with longtime UFC rival Khabib Nurmagomedov despite the Russian being retired.

Ferguson and former UFC champion Nurmagomedov have been scheduled to fight five times in the promotion, but the cursed booking has never taken place. They were first pencilled in to fight seven years ago, with their last failed attempt in 2020.
