The much-anticipated (and often canceled) fight between top lightweight contenders Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov may finally go down.
The No. 1 contender bout is being targeted to take place at UFC 209 on March 4, 2017 from inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Nevada. And despite Ferguson’s previous stand, which would see him hold out from competing until Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) showed him the money, "El Cucuy" seems to have changed his tune.
Nurmagomedov recently offered to pay Tony an additional $200,000 bonus for accepting the match up, but Ferguson respectfully declined.
