Tony Ferguson interview on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show
Talking about Khabib Nurmagomedov fight, and he says that he’s in Khabib’s head

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hcpr7FeBUk

I reckon that might be true hehehe. There was an interview in Russian on Khabib in his hometown in Dagestan where he said that he is more motivated to train versus Tony than his last 4 opponents. However, the effect might not what Tony wanted. Similar to what occured to Conor's trash talking, it only made Khabib stronger hehehe.

“I will train hard. With every fight, I gain more and more experience. I’m getting older, I am 31. I think it’s the peak age of [a] fighter’s career. Of course, I will train more for this fight because I got worthy opponent. He is very good and very dangerous opponent. And to be honest, I lacked this motivation for my last fights.Iaquinta,Conor,Barboza,Poirier.They’re not the same as Tony Ferguson. That’s why I feel that fire burning inside me again.”

i hope he might be having plans to have a shot a the WW belt too, who knows, he might be winning against Cerrone and might call the champion to face him Cheesy

.

He fought the 155 pound champion without even fighting in the division and that was his first fight and the second fight he was defeated comprehensively by one of the greatest in the division and he might be planning to do the same at 170 pounds, he needs to have a tune up fight and that too against Cerrone who is on a loosing streak and he is smart enough to know that he will be happy to fight Conor in any division and he might even challenge the winner between Colby and Usman and Dana White might even give him that fight Grin

Exactly why it's called a tune up fight. Those two above Cerrone would annhiliate McGregor. That part is obvious. The curious thing is why the match is at WW instead of LW.

I think that after the humiliating defeat from Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor went off the tracks and he might have ballooned a lot and it might be difficult for him to cut the weight down to 155 pounds Cheesy

. Jorge Masvidal and Justin Gaethje are much dangerous opponents than Cerrone and i hope he might be having plans to have a shot a the WW belt too, who knows, he might be winning against Cerrone and might call the champion to face him Cheesy

Well, I wish the same as well when someone pulls out from the fight I wish there is a replacement for that fighter but I really want a Khabib Nurmagedov fight to be watched next year, I wish I can get that next year, but still looking forward to Tony Ferguson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov fight, I am pretty curious about what ay happen in the ring I sure feel so much excitement right now.

There is no doubt the most awaited fight in the entire UFC is Tony Ferguson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov and every time the fight is announced the fans gets thrilled to see an epic fight but the fight keeps on getting cancelled at the last moment, last time Khabib pulled out because of weight cutting issues and he was hospitalized and Tony pulled out in the recently scheduled fight because he fell down while promoting the fight in a studio and injured his leg and Tony used to release videos about him kicking an iron post and he got injured tripping over a simple wire inside the studio Cheesy

.

After realizing something, maybe they are just making an excuse regarding the fight, and I guess because of the sudden and continues cancelation of their fights the fans grew their excitement and this could surely cause an extremely disappointment conclusion when it got canceled again, with this is not the case between the two and I really wish that there will be no problems regarding this fight to be settled.

I guess I will get disappointed regarding this because I really want to see a Nurmagomedov fight next year and because this elusive fight doesn't seem to continue, but maybe Khabib will not have any reason pulling out now in my opinion oh! I wish.

If Khabib Nurmagomedov is not injured and if Tony Ferguson pulls out of the fight i am sure the fight will continue as long as there is another opponent taking the opportunity to fight Khabib in a short notice fight as Khabib does not care if there is a short notice replacement like the rest of the fighters and we have seen that in the past when Tony pulled out last time and he was willing to face anyone even with short time replacement.

I am pretty excited as well myself Tony Ferguson Freak lung injury had pulled him out from a fight with Nurmagomedov and now that he's back and healed I am pretty sure that there is nothing that can stop this fight anymore

Both Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson are healthy and they have a long time to prepare for this fight and i hope they will not get injured preparing for this fight as they are getting into this fight with high stakes as they are on a tear in the UFC and the win will cement as the best fighter.

Pretty wish that they are both healthy when that date comes for their fight, Pretty sure looking forward to this wonderful event.

How many times Khabib vs Ferguson had already been cancelled? 2 times?
Hope this time Khabib makes his weight and didnt have health problems. Hope Ferguson dont have mental problems

This is the fifth time both these fighters are set to fight each other and it is the most cursed fight in MMA history , first they were scheduled to fight on December 11, 2015 but Khabib Nurmagomedov pulled out of the fight, the second fight was scheduled on April 16, 2016 but Tony Ferguson pulled out of the fight, the third fight was scheduled on March 4, 2017 but Khabib NurmagomedovKha pulled out of the fight and the fourth fight was scheduled on April 7, 2018, Tony Ferguson pulled out of the fight and this is the fight time they are scheduled to fight and the sports book must come up with odds whether this fight will ever happen Cheesy

.

A short view for better understanding

December 11, 2015: Khabib Nurmagomedov pulls out due to injury
April 16, 2016 : Tony Ferguson pulls out due to injury
March 4, 2017 : Khabib Nurmagomedov pulls out due to injury
April 7, 2018 : Tony Ferguson pulls out due to injury
April 18, 2020 : This time who will be pulling out of the fight

Khabib Nurmagomedov? This time?

Well, I think the process may repeat itself, pretty much this fight is getting canceled every time one would pull out because of an injury, but I hope Khabib would not gonna pull out this time, I guess I will get disappointed regarding this because I really want to see a Nurmagomedov fight next year and because this elusive fight doesn't seem to continue, but maybe Khabib will not have any reason pulling out now in my opinion oh! I really wish.

This is the fight that I am waiting for the fight was Khabib Nurmagomedov was on and when he would be on the fight I really want to watch how Khabib can handle every fight he is on.

The fight everyone is waiting for years, glad that it did not happen earlier and now the best fighters in the division are fighting for the championship title and the stake are higher as both these fighters cleaned everyone that was put in front of them and it will be a dream fight and Tony Ferguson can create problems to the fighting style of Khabib as he is a great submission threat to anyone in the division and it will be a chess match kind of situation.

I am pretty excited as well myself Tony Ferguson Freak lung injury had pulled him out from a fight with Nurmagomedov and now that he's back and healed I am pretty sure that there is nothing that can stop this fight anymore, but apparently that long vacation should not be a thing that might interrupt from his training, but that is what I am seeing that Khabib Nurmagomedov had an advantage against Ferguson, but we might never know until the actual fight, and there fight is on next year so there is plenty time for team Ferguson to find ways in settling with the fight with Nurmagomedov.

But apparently Anthony Johnson had set his eyes to Alistair Overeem and Junior dos Santos but said that the fight with Francis Ngannou is very enticing for him to let it slip and a good opportunity for a comeback and this is not an everyday showdown but a something special he said on ESPN, I guess Johnson really set to have a special comeback in getting Francis Ngannou.

I am excited to see Anthony Johnson making a comeback in the heavyweight division and he is a scary dude and so does Francis Ngannou, you get scared looking at the size and a fight between them would be epic and could easily headline a card even without a title and both are strikers and the only trouble both will have is against wrestling based fighters like Stipe Miocic and Curtis Blayde .

Well, I also would like to see them faced against fighters that mostly wresting based as well, and would be great if the caliber of the technique like Khabib Nurmagomedov If what may happen but Khabib is in a Lightweight Division so I think that may not happen,
but if the fighting would be down the floor I think Stipe Miocic will be the candidate to do it.

@uray. Cowboy might prolong the fight to the 4th and 5th rounds and he will use the only advantage he has versus Conor. His cardio hehe.

If the fight goes to the second or third round then the possibility for McGregor reduces incredibly because he is an explosive fighter and slows down in the third and fourth round and in the rematch with Nate Diaz he somehow survived and his will to win the fight going to the decision earned him the victory and this is another do or die fight for Conor.
