Video: Tony Ferguson on Khabib fight at UFC 209: It should be for the real title
“I have 9 wins in a row, Khabib has 8 fights in a row. This is the first time you guys are going to see this inside the octagon. This fight is for the interim title; it should be for the real shit. Are my a little pissed about it? yeah. Is Conor going to defend his belt? That little bitch, probably not, he’s going to run. Go ahead, go try to box so you can get your ass kicked too. The real fight is between Khabib and Ferguson.”
