Tony Ferguson Wasn’t Happy Khabib Nurmagomedov Took Fight With Darrell Horcher

Tony Ferguson spoke with MMAjunkie about Khabib Nurmagomedov’s fight with Darrell Horcher at UFC on FOX 19 in April and more. Some highlights are below:

On Nurmagomedov facing Horcher: “I was pretty upset that he took the fight against a project manager, when he wouldn’t wait a couple weeks to get an actual legitimate fight. A fight that the fight fans and everybody else, the boss, everybody wanted this fight. I wanted this fight.”

On being previously booked to face Nurmagomedov: “We signed on the dotted line a couple of times, and unfortunately, it just didn’t happen. Timelines are different. His timeline is a little different than mine. I’m not saying he doesn’t want to fight. But I’m a very scary opponent for this division.”
