Injuries aside? Well that's kind of huge don't you think? I mean what Khabib will we get? I think he's really good as well, but injuries, and lack of Octagon time can't be ignored, especially when Tony has looked improved each time out and has become pretty elite himself. Khabib may be the overall better fighter with more hype, but Tony has a legit shot at a victory here. "Not a chance" is way off base here in a close to toss up fight...good luck and enjoy...against Khabib? not a chance. Khabib injuries aside is one of the best pound for pound in the UFC.
With Ferguson dropping off the card and less than two weeks to go until show time, Nurmagomedov will not receive a new opponent and will instead get booked for a new fight at a later date.
There's no further detail on Ferguson's injury or when he will be able to return to action.
