Ask Ant: The Style vs. Style Edition

First things first, let’s give credit where credit is due. The next person to face Khabib Nurmagomedov is Dustin Poirier and he deserves to be in that spot. It’s good to see the UFC honor the interim titles it arbitrarily decides to hand out with a shot at the undisputed title. Tony Ferguson and Colby Covington should be the exception and not the rule in this department. While as of this writing I’m favoring Nurmagomedov to walk away with the unified title at UFC 242 -- perhaps after my normal tape study I’ll change my mind -- it’s important that we recognize the man who is next in line.
