“Did he wise up?“- Tony Ferguson takes a veiled dig at Khabib Nurmagomedov and Ali Abdelazi

The eternal rivalry kept it's fames alive thanks to social media

Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov is one UFC’s most talked about rivalry which never got an opportunity to get settled. When both fighters were in their prime, UFC scheduled their fight five times and every time there was a new problem. It went to a point where it was frustrating for the fight fans not being able to see such a fierce match-up.

However, after Nurmagomedov’s retirement, there has been some new sparks to him and Ferguson’s rivalry. Months ago, the American mentioned that he is ready to compete with ‘The Eagle’ even as coaches in The Ultimate Fighter. The idea was liked by the fans as well the president of UFC, Dana White.

The animated clip is made by artist Mojahed Fudaillat who has his own YouTube channel and is pretty famous among fight fans.

In the caption, Ferguson mocked Nurmagomedov for getting stuffed with Tiramisu as it was Tuesday. Ferguson also tagged Ali Abdelaziz and called him Baldy. He asked Abdelaziz if he was still responsible for making important calls for Nurmagomedov or if the Dagestani got his senses back.

In the end, ‘ El Cucuy’ also mentioned UFC 209 remembering when the pair was supposed to fight but it got cancelled. Back then, Nurmagomedov was hospitalized after having a serious issue during his weight cut to 155. It was one of the five occasions when a fight was cancelled between these two fighters.

“It’s Tuesday Bitches, You Know What That Means!!! Bet’cha Old Fathead @TeamKhabib Is Knee Deep In Three 🍮 Hey Baldy @AliAbdelaziz00 You Still Making Shitty Decisions For Khabieber or Did He Wise Up? #TowelGate #UFC209 Either Way, I Own You🫵😎Boys- Champ -CSO- 🇺🇸🏆🇲🇽 TUF🕶Life,” wrote Ferguson.

As always it’s kind of hard to introspect what Ferguson wants and what are the intentions behind his moves. However, it is possible that Ferguson is still chasing that rivalry with Nurmagomedov and will not sit silently until he gets it. Nevertheless, if it ever happens, it is going to be a great news for the hardcore MMA fans.
