With UFC London now firmly in the rear view, the eyes of the MMA world turn to next month’s UFC 223 and the lightweight title fight between interim champion Tony Ferguson and undefeated contender Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Ferguson won the interim lightweight title last October and Nurmagomedov punched his ticket to a title shot with a dominant win over Edson Barboza at UFC 219, that had everyone asking ‘Who can beat Khabib?’. Well, almost everyone.
In a UFC 222 scrum, the man who came up short to Ferguson for the interim lightweight belt, Kevin Lee, said that Nurmagomedov “looked terrible” in his performance over Edson Barboza.
