In an ideal scenario, Tony Ferguson is the next in line to challenge Khabib Nurmagomedov for the UFC lightweight title. It is a fight that had been put off for four times now due to issues on the part of both men.
Facing “El Cucuy” could be the biggest legacy fight for the undefeated Khabib right now, but his manager Ali Abdelaziz is putting more focus on money matters.
“At the end of the day, Khabib doesn’t need to fight anybody else for his legacy,” Abdelaziz told MMA Fighting. “He’s done what he’s done. He’s 27-0, he’s 12-0 in the UFC, he’s never been dropped, he’s never been caught, he’s never been knocked down.
