The Eagle’s manager, Rizvan Magomedov was interviewed by FightWorldTurkey recently and he revealed that his client intends on facing Tony Ferguson next before shifting his attention to a super fight with the legendary Georges St-Pierre.
Magomedov was certain that Tony Ferguson is next in line to get a shot at ending Nurmagomedov’s undefeated reign.
The Dagestani grappler’s manager admitted that the negotiations between the UFC and GSP fell apart but his client is willing to sign up for the dream fight if the Canadian legend and the promotion come to an agreement.
Magomedov was clear that Khabib and his team are not interested in a rematch against Conor McGregor. The Irishman would first need to face other names and win before he can even dream about avenging his UFC 229 loss. Nurmagomedov will only accept McGregor’s demand for a rematch if the former Double Champion strings together a few wins.
Ferguson vs. Nurmagomedov is the ideal fight to make and that’s exactly what the UFC is expected to book pretty soon.
However, we also hope that the promotion somehow convinces GSP to return to the Octagon for a potentially record-breaking outing against the current Lightweight king. It just needs to happen!
