Cole Shelton - May 17, 2022

Khabib Nurmagomedov has responded to Tony Ferguson’s request to coach The Ultimate Fighter. Nurmagomedov and Ferguson were booked to fight five different times and due to botched weight cuts, injuries, and a global pandemic, the bout never came to fruition. Nurmagomedov’s father had said he always thought he needed to compete against ‘El Cucuy’, so Ferguson wants it to be coaching TUF given the former lightweight champ is now retired.
