Tony Ferguson, however, can not let this one slide. He replied to Khabib’s tweet saying Khabib has been avoided all of their fights since 2015. Ferguson even posted an animation video of him beating Khabib.

Khabib and Tony Ferguson’s fight was scheduled to be on UFC 242 card but was called off as Khabib couldn’t make it due to travel restrictions. Since 2015, they’re scheduled to fight 5 times but all of them got canceled due to various reasons.
It’s widely speculated that while Ferguson is manning his own social media – Nurmagomedov isn’t. Nurmagomedov’s longtime manager Ali Abdelaziz is infamous for social media interference.
Is your manager tweeting dog shit stuff from your account making you look bad?
Maybe don’t sign management contracts with dog shit clauses like this in them. pic.twitter.com/reJOlsLWzC
