A very difficult match between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson failed so often that 'El Cucuy' no longer seems interested in this match.
That's why, at UFC 242, where the defending lightweight champion, Nurmagomedov, will face the interim title holder in Poirier during a unification duet of the title, Ferguson wishes that "The Diamond" managed to counter the defeat and gives "The Eagle" his first defeat at home Octagon.
"Let's hope Dustin [Poirier] take a piece of him, throw him on his back and put him in the shelter so we can have a good old American battle, Royal Battle, "said Tony Ferguson at Ariel Helwani's MMA Show, by BJPenn .com. "As I said, if there was pressure to push us, Khabib and I would go there and deal with it in December. So, whether it's Dustin or Khabib, the title title next December in Las Vegas, let's make that happen. "
Ferguson went on to say that he was "cool" with Poirier and that he had always wanted to train with the Louisianan at ATT's (Coconut Creek) Best American Team facility.
"Hey dude, he's American, he's cool, he's out of [American] Top Team, one of the gyms where I wanted to go to train, I did not have the opportunity to do it. I fought two people from there. Strong team man. They have a good group of people there. Champions, "said Ferguson.
UFC 242: Khabib vs. Poirier will take place this Saturday, September 7th at the Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
