AFTER WEEKS FILLED WITH RUMORS, the fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson was made official by UFC last day.
Khabib and Ferguson will fight at UFC 209 for the Interim lightweight championship. Ferguson had earlier refused to sign the contract on monetary grounds which then forced Khabib to offer money from his pocket.
