Khabib Nurmagomedov. Tony Ferguson. What else do you need to know?
The two lightweight stars adorn the official poster for UFC 249, which was released Thursday.
Nurmagomedov brings his unbeaten record and undisputed championship into the Octagon on April 18, when he defends against Ferguson in the UFC 249 main event. The pay-per-view takes place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
With Ferguson on a 12-fight win streak of his own and a series of maladies preventing these two from meeting in the past, it’s no exaggeration to state that this is one of the most highly anticipated MMA bouts in history.
