For the better part of a decade, Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov were two of the very best fighters in the UFC\u2019s lightweight division. \u2018El Cucuy\u2019 put together one of the most impressive win streaks between October 2013 and June 2019. During that time, Ferguson left all his opponents in a bloody mess by the time he was done with them. \u2018The Eagle\u2019 on the other hand dominated his opponents from start to finish and seldom lost a round in the UFC, let alone a fight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Given that they were a class apart from the rest of the fighters, it was only logical for the UFC to match Tony Ferguson against Khabib Nurmagomedov. Unfortunately, the UFC<\/a> booked a fight between the two men not once but five times and had to cancel the fight five times. Everything from injuries to a pandemic played came in the way of Tony Ferguson taking on Khabib Nurmagomedov.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that Nurmagomedov is retired and Ferguson is not the fighter he used to be, a fight in the UFC between the two is nearly impossible. However, \u2018El Cucuy\u2019 recently shared an idea that caught on pretty well with the fans. He suggested a season of The Ultimate Fighter with Ferguson and Nurmagomedov as the coaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Will we finally see Tony Ferguson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a recent interview with Brett Okamoto, \u2018The Eagle\u2019 shared his thoughts on a season of The Ultimate Fighter with Ferguson. He said, <\/span>\u201cI like this idea honestly, I like this idea. We can do some stuff because right now its like, not too many big stars in the UFC right now. Even myself I am finished, Jon Jones is not there, Henry Cejudo not there, Daniel Cormier not there.\u201d<\/span><\/i>
