Tony Ferguson slams Khabib Nurmagomedov’s previous weight cutting issues: ‘You took food off my kid’s table!’

Tony Ferguson still hasn’t forgiven Khabib Nurmagomedov for his eleventh hour withdrawal from UFC 209.

Ahead of their main event clash at UFC 223 in Brooklyn on April 7, the duo traded barbs on a media call Wednesday. Early in the call, Ferguson suggested that he still has doubts that Nurmagomedov will hit the scales on championship weight.

“I hope you have your diet under control,” said Ferguson.

As the two began to trade insults, the interim champion revealed that he was in the middle of a training session as the conference call was taking place.
