Tony Ferguson accused Khabib Nurmagomedov of cowardice and received a response from the ex-UFC champion 
American mixed style fighter Toni Fergus to the Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov on social networks. The post is available on the athlete's Twitter account.
The 37-year-old American published a tough post where he accused Nurmagomedov of cowardice. “Listen here, fat man. The last time I saw you, you draped to another country, just not to fight me for the title. Before that, you pretended that your stomach ached. Would shut up. Leave male deeds to those who are ready to commit them, to those who are on the cutting edge, “Ferguson wrote.
Apparently, this is how the American reacted to Nurmagomedov's words addressed to Justin Gage. The Russian said that his ally Islam Makhachev is more worthy of the title fight in the Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC) than Gaydzhi.
33-year-old Nurmagomedov responded to Ferguson's message, and the Russian avoided rude language. “Tony, you haven't won a round in the last three UFC fights. Since 2015, you have defeated only one fighter from the TOP-15. Everything is obvious, I do not need to offend you and get personal. I'm just listing the facts, “the Russian athlete wrote.
Nurmagomedov and Ferguson could have met more than once in a duel under the auspices of the UFC. Once again, their fight fell through in the spring of 2020. Then instead of Nurmagomedov, Gagey fought with Ferguson. The latter won the title fight against Nurmagomedov in the fall.
