Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov will forever be inextricably linked.

Tony Ferguson: “And I know when Khabib left, a little part of me left with that. It kind of sucked a little bit, because we’ve always had that, I won’t say negative energy, but that hype that was built around that. And then when that disappeared and the pandemic hit, and [my] f****** team left, and then just a whole bunch — there was nothing else left for me, kind of, except what I told myself was I wanted to compete. I wanted to compete enough so that I would maybe, possibly, win or lose, Khabib would come back.”
