Khabib’s dad says he’s willing to fight Ferguson to get title shot

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, father and long term coach of Khabib Nurmagomedov, has said his son is willing to fight Tony Ferguson in order to cement his place at a lightweight title.  Newly crowned lightweight champion, Conor McGregor is expected to take a break from fighting until May 2017 due to the birth of his child, but Khabib Nurmagomedov does not plan on any breaks. Speaking to MMANews.info, Nurmagomedov said –

“We will not wait longer than 3 months. We’ll wait for 3 months and at the 4th, we need an opponent. Let them give us any opponent. Even at 77kgs”

“At this moment, it is better to fight with Ferguson — just to nail this thing down.”
