“How much ya weighing Now?” Tony Ferguson ruthlessly taunts Khabib Nurmagomedov in Ultimate Fighter Callout


“How much ya weighing Now?” Tony Ferguson ruthlessly taunts Khabib Nurmagomedov in Ultimate Fighter Callout

Ferguson continued taunting Nurmagomedov on Twitter

Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov will forever be one of the biggest what-if feuds in the short history of Mixed Martial Arts. The former rivals were scheduled to fight five times before their final bout was called off due to the Covid-19 pandemic. After their final bout for April 2020 was called off Khabib would head back to Russia where his life would be altered forever.

Khabib lost his father to the virus, leading him to the decision to quit competition after one final title defense. Tony meanwhile agreed to fight Justin Gaethje for the interim title, hence saving UFC 249 and also bringing back live sports. However, either due to the short notice or the fact that Tony cut down to 155 twice within the span of a month led to his ultimate battle against Gaethje rembling something close to a man walking headfirst into a running train but still refusing to go down.

Gaethje won that fight by late stoppage and went on to challenge Khabib for the undisputed title in Abu Dhabi. Khabib finished Gathje within two rounds and announced his decision to quit the sport, while few argued that he was quitting while he was ahead to keep a clean record, many others felt confident that with the downfall on Tony Ferguson, there was no real challenge left for Nurmagomedov in the division. He would instead take up coaching responsibilities for AKA and Eagles MMA in Dagestan hence filling in the shoes of his father.

Recently after months of call-outs from Tony Ferguson, the duo seemed to have finally agreed to settle their differences in a unique manner. Ferguson proposed that Khabib and him coach a season of TUF to find out who the better coach and ultimately better fighter is. While Ferguson has been on a 4 fight losing skid, the idea piqued the interest of Khabib Nurmagomedov who expressed his willingness to do it under the UFC or Eagle FC banner.

After over a month of no new developments in that regard, Ferguson is out on the taunting run again. On Twitter the former interim champ, calling Khabib by his self-designated nickname “Fathead” said, “How Much Ya Weighin’ Now-A-Dayze?!” Mocking the former champion referring to him to be 2 ax handles wide Tony asked, “Is It Tuesday Yet?” alluding to the infamous Tiramisu Tuesday monicker assigned by Ferguson when Nurmagomedov had to cancel one of their bouts due to weight cut issues.

Saying that he was “Comin in Hot” the former Interim Champ reminded his rival that he was the only true TUF champion among the two.
