In a post on Instagram, Khabib Nurmagomedov once again asked the UFC to book a fight between himself and Tony Ferguson, telling them to “stop lying to your fans.” Khabib has been angling for a fight for some time with Conor McGregor, but since it hasn’t happened he has said he wants Ferguson. This also comes after Jose Aldo said that UFC told him that Khabib turned down a fight with him.
He said: “This message to @UFC: It is clear to everyone that you hiding Conor from me. But stop lying to your fans like I don’t want fight with Aldo, I’m ready to fight with anyone in my division. Give me relevant fight, so you won’t be able to hide the belt from me after. But not the fight, where people say after my victory: he is too small, Khabib too big for him etc. I’m asking you for match that whole world is waiting for, give me Tony. You have never matched up two guys with 9 and 8 win streak in UFC, NEVER IN UFC HISTORY. #telltruthtopeople”
