One of the most highly-anticipated lightweight fights of all time has been booked yet again.

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov will defend his title against Tony Ferguson on April 18. Nurmagomedov is undefeated in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career at 28-0. Ferguson is on a ridiculous 12-fight win streak at the moment, looking as dominant as ever.

Recently, UFC Hall Of Famer Michael Bisping took to his podcast, “Believe You Me,” to offer his thoughts on the matchup. Bisping said Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson is a “huge booking.” (H/T BJPenn.com)

“That’s a huge booking,” Bisping said. “Finally, Khabib vs. Ferguson. Well, I say finally, it’s not is it? I mean they booked it four times in the past. That’s crazy. But everybody wants to see this fight and we’ve talked about this ad nauseam, everybody knows if anyone deserves a title fight it’s Tony Ferguson.

“He just beat Cerrone, he’s on a 12-fight win streak, he’s beating people in style. Anthony Pettis, the list goes on. He deserves his title fight and he’s getting his title fight.”

Going a bit further with the magnitude of Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson, Bisping predicts the fight will draw big pay-per-view (PPV) numbers.

“Because this fight was booked four times in the past, the anticipation for it is so huge,” Bisping said. “So I feel like this will do huge numbers. I think it will be a big, big pay-per-view. And the timing actually, if McGregor was to beat Cerrone, I think the timing would work out for Conor to fight the winner but he has gotta get past Cerrone.”

Do you think Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson will draw big PPV numbers?

It’s no secret that UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor don’t like one another.

So, naturally, Nurmagomedov’s American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) teammate, former UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, had to use their rivalry to have some fun with “The Eagle.” Cormier poked fun at Nurmagomedov because he recently broke the Irishman’s fighting style down on an episode of his ESPN+ show “Details.”

Nurmagomedov said McGregor doesn’t deserve to have Cormier call his name, to which Cormier responded by listing out all of McGregor’s accomplishments, seemingly annoying the 155-pound champ. Check out the hilarious clip here:

All three men, Cormier, Nurmagomedov, and McGregor, have fights to worry about. McGregor makes his return to action in January, where he headlines UFC 246 against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. Then, in April, Nurmagomedov puts his lightweight title up for grabs against Tony Ferguson. And, of course, a trilogy bout between Cormier and UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic is expected.

McGregor, meanwhile, is trying to get back on the winning track to earn a rematch with Nurmagomedov down the line. Nurmagomedov submitted

Israel Adesanya Hypes His Ground Game: Khabib Isn’t The Only Who Can Maul People

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is one of the best strikers in the promotion today. But don’t be fooled — he very much has a ground game.

In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Adesanya spoke of why he made the transition from kickboxing to mixed martial arts (MMA). “The Last Stylebender” feels it’s easier to become a champion in boxing but when it comes to a real fight, boxers will struggle against wrestlers and jiu-jitsu practitioners.

That’s why Adesanya wanted to hone the craft of fighting in all aspects:

“If you want to fight, I could have done the same thing,” Adesanya said of boxing (via MMA Mania). “I could have done boxing and do the blueprint; fight some journeymen, some bums, fight a local champions, climb the ranks, build your record up and then fight the world champion and get a belt. I could have done that in kickboxing, but I know in my heart, my soul, if I faced up against a guy with a different style, a judo guy, jiu-jitsu guy in the streets…who’s going to break it up in the clinch? They’re throwing leg kicks at me and if I don’t know how to check a leg kick, what’s going to happen?

“I never want to feel vulnerable in any situation. I never want to feel like any man can checkmate me in any position. So I have to humble myself and go back to the drawing board and learn and study and hone your craft of fighting in all aspects.”

We have seen many aspects of Adesanya’s game since his debut in 2018. However, fans are yet to see him truly tested on the ground. But according to him, that’s only because he hasn’t been taken there yet as he has a few tricks:

“You haven’t even seen my ground game yet, just bits and pieces,” he added. “You haven’t seen my top game. Khabib [Nurmagomedov] isn’t the only who can maul people.”

What do you make of Adesanya’s comments?

Tony Ferguson will finally bet his crack at UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“El Cucuy” will be taking on “The Eagle” at an event yet to be named on April 18 from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. This is the fifth time a matchup between Ferguson and Nurmagomedov has been booked. The previous four times, the fight has fallen through due to an injury from either man, twice each.

Speaking on “The Ariel Helwani MMA Show,” Ferguson was asked if he thinks his matchup with Nurmagomedov is “cursed.” Ferguson stopped the question before it could even be finished, sending a message to those who cast doubt on the highly-anticipated fight. (H/T MMA Mania)

“F*ck no, you can stop right there. Don’t even get the fans going on that sh*t. We’re going to set the pace right now – I want the encouragement,” Ferguson said. “F*ck you, don’t watch this shit, don’t buy our stuff. Go watch Bellator or some other bullsh*t. Go find some knock off copy of what he got going on here … this is the OGs, I’m the original genius right here.”

Ferguson is in the midst of a ridiculous 12-fight win streak under the UFC’s banner. He last defeated Donald Cerrone via TKO at UFC 238 in June. Now, he takes on the undefeated 28-0 Khabib Nurmagomedov, who pulled off a successful title defense in his last outing, submitting Dustin Poirier in Abu Dhabi.
