Khabib Nurmagomedov

I don’t have nothing personal with him, you know? Tony is great fighter. Honestly, I don’t like him personally. I don’t understand his mind, what is inside his head but I don’t need this. I’m going to focus on the fight. When the cage closes, I’m going to do my job like always.

Prediction

Joshua Cook
Who will win: Nurmagomedov or Ferguson?

The most important thing is that this fight takes place. Four times it was canceled. In social networks appeared memes as they sit with a beard at a press conference. It is also necessary that they both be healthy, without injuries.

Ferguson is a dangerous, but I think Khabib will win. He is physically more powerful, plus his control...
