Tony Ferguson Blasts Nurmagomedov For Considering Boxing Match With Floyd Mayweather

It should come as no surprise that Tony Ferguson is not a fan of Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight king Khabib Nurmagomedov’s recent flirtations with boxing.

Ferguson and Nurmagomedov have been scheduled to face one another on four separate occasions and in each case, the fight has been derailed due to some form of injury or mishap. Now that the stage is set for a fifth attempt to meet inside the Octagon, recent comments from the Nurmagomedov suggest he might prefer to follow the example of Conor McGregor and face the undefeated Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
