Tony Ferguson poses arguably the biggest threat to reigning UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, but Daniel Cormier believes ‘The Eagle’ is in a league of his own and will dispose of ‘El Cucuy’ without too much effort at UFC 249.
Speaking to MMA Fighting in a recent interview Cormier, who trains with Nurmagomedov at American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), said Khabib has looked phenomenal throughout training camp and explained why he thinks the undefeated Dagestani will overwhelm Ferguson on fight night.
“He was looking good,” Cormier said of Khabib before he flew back home to Russia to complete his training camp.
