Khabib Nurmagomedov on UFC 209 mess: ‘This is 100% my fault’

One of the most anticipated fights for 2017 so far was the supposed interim lightweight title fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson at last month’s UFC 209. However, the fight was scrapped after Khabib was forced out due to health issues from weight cutting.

“The Eagle” never spoke publicly about what happened to him, apart from an Instagram update on his health that he posted days after the event. But over the weekend, he shared what happened from his end, in an interview with RT.

“You know I don’t remember a lot of things, to be honest,” Khabib said.
