Khabib talks about Ferguson again and explains why he believes his rival's career has come to an end

“He has a desire to fight, you know? He always has his game built to be able to knockout or submit. I think this makes him strong and will end up being his downfall in combat. (…), everything he does ends up worrying me, because he doesn’t do anything lightly. It's intense and I don't think he's seen a jab or anything other than 'lights out,'” Royval said in an interview on 'half day'.
