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.
Despite Nurmagomedov being retired, their rivalry lives on, as Ferguson continues to try and call the Russian out of retirement. He proposed that if the pair can't fight each other, they could be opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter or settle their rivalry in a different sport.
