Main candidates for the position of lightweight challenger, Khabib Nurmagomedov e Tony Ferguson rivalry between them increasingly increases. After calling the Russian a 'complaining b***h' and insinuating that his rival “ran away” from a confrontation that should have happened in the past, Nurmagomedov expressed dissatisfaction with Ferguson's statements and responded on his social media. Angry, Khabib accepted the challenge, guaranteeing that he would 'kill him quickly'.

“Hey, chicken Ferguson, with all this gangster talk, but why don't you sign the contract? Fine by me. I'll kill you quickly”, wrote the Russian, who added that he would 'hit you in the face' the next time they met.

“And I was ready in April for the main fight, but you ran away. The next time you see me, don't come and take a photo with me like a fan. When you come and take a picture with me, I’m going to slap you in the face.”

Tony Ferguson e Khabib Nurmagomedov were scheduled to face each other in April this year, in the main fight of the UFC Tampa, but an injury to the American prevented the clash from getting off the ground.
