The lack of enthusiasm amongst netizens was clear when he claimed that 'The Eagle' would only come out of retirement to face 'El Cucuy'. Tony Ferguson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov will go down in history as the most unlucky fight that has failed to materialize. The pair were booked to fight each other on five separate occasions but fell apart each time. With Nurmagomedov now retired, MMA fans have relinquished the idea, but Tony Ferguson still remains hopeful. Ahead of his fight against Li Jingliang at UFC 279, Ferguson spoke to the media: “I am the one to get him out of retirement. When it comes down to it, when you lose somebody, you have to take some time off, you have to think and you have to do whatever you have to do but his father had said the fight to make was myself and Khabib. Before he passed away, he did say that and Khabib has that in his mindset.” MMAFighting.com@MMAFightingTony Ferguson on Khabib Nurmagomedov: ‘I am the one to get him out of retirement … that dude’s not retired’ (@DamonMartin) mmafighting.com/2022/9/7/23341…23812Tony Ferguson on Khabib Nurmagomedov: ‘I am the one to get him out of retirement … that dude’s not retired’ (@DamonMartin) mmafighting.com/2022/9/7/23341… https://t.co/ycfKZDfLqn MMA fans threw brickbats at Ferguson for his comments.

The idea was embraced by the MMA community and even UFC President Dana White got on board with it. During the UFC 279 pre-fight media scrum, Ferguson circled back to the idea and claimed that his team had given the nod to the concept. However, Nurmagomedov is yet to respond: "We’re waiting on fathead's fat a** and I’m going to be real with you, we got the greenlight from the brass. We got the greenlight from his coach. We got the greenlight from his agent. His agent came up and tried to hug me, he was all in pink, f****ng looked like Pinky from Friday. It was funny as f**k. You can spot him anywhere. He comes up and he’s like ‘Let’s do this.’ In reality, we’re just waiting for Khabib’s fat a**.” Watch the video below: Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Allan Mathew × Feedback Thank You!
