Tony Ferguson Slams Khabib Nurmagomedov For Throwing Money At Men “Like They Were Strippers”

Tony Ferguson has no love lost for Khabib Nurmagomedov and recently threw barbs at his long-time rival as Ferguson prepares for his boxing debut this weekend. Ferguson will clash with Salt Papi for the MFB interim middleweight title at Misfits Boxing 22 on August 30th, with the Saturday card being headlined by an MFB bridgerweight title bout between Luke Rockhold and Darren Till.

During an interview on Ringside with Abbas, Ferguson addressed several subjects ahead of his sweet science showdown this Saturday, including his remaining issues with ‘The Eagle’. Ferguson intimated that Nurmagomedov would have had a rough night if any of the multiple bout bookings that were locked in between them ever came to fruition, and also referenced a controversial video that has popped up over the years with Khabib.
