The UFC is now 0 for 5 in trying to book the long overdue fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson. And after the most recent failure at UFC 249, even Dana White isn’t expecting it to happen any time soon.
The UFC president addressed the situation regarding this highly elusive matchup when a fan asked him about it on Wednesday’s Reddit MMA session.
Question: How confident are you that Khabib and Tony will fight at some point this year?
White: Not very. I’m afraid of what will happen next if we try to make that happen again.
