Tony Ferguson, the ex-interim lightweight title holder, recently replied to his long-standing UFC opponent Khabib Nurmagomedov’s statement suggesting that Ferguson could only win with a stroke of luck. Ferguson, who recently faced his eighth straight defeat at UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi, criticized Nurmagomedov for dodging a potential rematch and accused him of being a “coward” and a “chicken.” Ferguson took to social media to express his frustration with Nurmagomedov’s remarks. Despite Nurmagomedov retiring in 2020 with an undefeated record, the rivalry between the two fighters remains intense.
