Arrogant Ferguson: Khabib and Conor are already ‘retired’ and I’ll send Gaethjea among the ‘stars’

If you thought Tony Ferguson’s motivation was down following the news that a coronavirus pandemic at the planned UFC 249 combat spectacle would make him unable to compete in the lightweight championship belt against current champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, you are in for a big mistake.

The confident California fighter is convinced that the showdown against replacement rival Justin Gaethjeu will also be one of those worth watching on television screens.

“At the moment, I don’t even know what I want to accomplish in the upcoming duel. All I know is that whenever word gets out about my duel, it puts a smile on my face for people. It doesn’t even matter who my next opponent will be,” reports Tony Ferguson, who should compete with Khabib Nurmagomedov in the UFC 249 Martial Arts event at the Las Vegas Grand Garden Arena on April 18 for the title of UFC lightweight champion. It has been clear for some time that the pandemic of the coronavirus and, consequently, the fact that the excellent Dagestan from Russia cannot return to the United States will not lead to the desired duel.

It is also clear that the event will take place at the Tachi Palace Complex on the Indian Reserve in California on the planned day, April 18, where Ferguson will have the opportunity to become a temporary lightweight champion for the second time in his career. “I have said this before in The Ultimate Fighter that I do not care too much about who will be or is my next opponent. I enter every fight with the same great desire to win. My main task will be that day (April 18, op . p.) I do my job to the highest possible level, “points out Ferguson, who did not choose words (insults), mentioning two of the best UFC fighters this time in the lightweight category, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor.

“Khabib would really move, he’s well aware of himself. He doesn’t exist for me at the moment. Now there’s Justin Gaethje, who deserves all my attention. They call him ‘The Highlight’? Well, then I’ll treat him.” No problem, I have many different options to send him among the ‘stars.’ As far as McGregor is concerned, it is similar to Khabib’s; there is nothing left for them to complete their careers. ahead of time…[..] ‘’ arrogant Tony Ferguson concludes in a video he posted on his Twitter feed.
