Las Vegas, April 9: Tony Ferguson may have been frustratingly made to wait to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov once again but he is not the only man UFC fans are longing for him to face and the prospect of a showdown with Conor McGregor is enticing. Khabib was supposed to defend his lightweight strap against Ferguson in a huge fight in Brooklyn this month, only for the coronavirus pandemic to put paid to the bout.
It was the fifth time the two have had a scheduled fight cancelled and Ferguson will instead face Justin Gaethje at a venue yet to be decided. Should Ferguson win that fight a long-awaited date with Khabib must surely happen but you would expect at some point he will dance with the big-talking McGregor as well. In the seventh instalment of the UFC dream fights we would love to see, we delve further into the records of Ferguson and McGregor.
