Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father and trainer Abdulmanap believes a potential bout with Tony Ferguson is a “dream fight” for all fans of mixed martial arts.

Per UFC president Dana White, the lightweight title fight is expected to headline the UFC’s return to Brooklyn, New York on April 18. The fight is not confirmed yet, but Nurmagomedov has signed his part of the contract according to his manager Ali Abdelaziz.

And the senior Nurmagomedov is one that is particularly excited for the matchup should it finally come to fruition:

“We have signed a contract and are moving towards the goal to become the best regardless of the weight category,” he wrote in an Instagram post (translation via BJ Penn). “And this battle is more than ever to become the best. Both are on a collision course, and I want to say that the UFC never met fighters for both so that there were 12 consecutive wins.

“I call it a dream fight for all fans of mixed martial arts. We will do everything in our power to bring victory to our fans and Russia, and the result is for the Almighty.”

Nurmagomedov and Ferguson have been previously booked to face each other four times, with the fight falling through on all four occasions. However, it’s a bout that needs to happen given how dominant both fighters have been in the 155-pound division.

Hopefully, fans get to see it in 2020.

Do you agree with Nurmagomedov’s father?

His grappling ability is second to none, and he has virtually dominated each of his opponents in every fight he’s been in.

UFC president Dana White has confirmed the promotion’s plans to give mixed martial arts (MMA) fans the fight they’ve been asking for for years – Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson.

According to a report from ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, the Las Vegas-based MMA promotion is looking to book Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson for April 18 in Brooklyn, New York from the Barclays Center. No contracts have been signed as of this writing, but the report notes both sides are interested in the bout pending further negotiations.

Should the fight be made, it will be the fifth time that Dana White and the UFC have attempted to make the matchup happen. Each time the fight has been scheduled to take place beforehand, it has fallen through due to injuries from each fighter (each man pulling out twice). Now, the UFC is hoping the fifth time will be the charm, especially given both men are in the primes of their respective careers.

The Brooklyn location certainly makes sense, as Nurmagomedov is not too keen on fighting in Las Vegas again after the fine and suspension he received for his post-fight brawl with team McGregor at UFC 229. “The Eagle” was allegedly retaliating for some insensitive comments made in the Irishman’s corner. Although there were rumors of the fight taking place in Russia, Nurmagomedov squashed those as well.

The matchup between Nurmagomedov and Ferguson has been brewing for several years, each man getting better as time rolls on. It will be nothing short of spectacular if they can both make the walk healthy come fight night in April.
