It looks like it’s almost time for Tony Ferguson to get back inside the Octagon. “El Cucuy” took to Twitter and teased that some news regarding his next bout will be coming soon.

Ferguson is on a 12-fight win streak at the moment; having beaten names like Edson Barboza, Rafael dos Anjos, Kevin Lee, Anthony Pettis, and Donald Cerrone. His victory over Lee secured him the interim lightweight title, however, he was later stripped after being forced to pull from his unification bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov due to an injury.

The former Ultimate Fighter winner is one of the most well-rounded fighters in the division but is exceptionally skilled in the wrestling and jiu-jitsu department. The preferred matchup of the mixed martial arts (MMA) community would be a title bout with Nurmagomedov. Both men have solidified themselves as the most dominant fighters in the weight class. Fights between them have been booked several times over the course of their careers, but ultimately fell through due to injury.

Now, Nurmagomedov is eying an early 2020 return, preferably February or March, in Russia. It remains to be seen if that’s the fight that will be booked next for Ferguson or not.

What do you think Ferguson’s fight news will be? Who should be his opponent?

If Khabib Nurmagomedov can’t make a date against Tony Ferguson next, Dustin Poirier is ready to step in for the bout.

Ferguson recently called out Nurmagomedov to settle their differences at the UFC 245 pay-per-view (PPV) event this December. However, if “The Eagle” doesn’t take the fight, Poirier has thrown his name into the hat for the fight.

Poirier had a five-fight win streak snapped against Nurmagomedov in Abu Dhabi at UFC 242 earlier this month. Nurmagomedov submitted Poirier in the third round with a rear-naked choke. Now, fans are calling for “The Eagle” to take on what they believe to be the Russian’s biggest threat, in Ferguson.

“El Cucuy” is the owner of one of the most ridiculous win streaks in the UFC. He has won 12-straight fights over notable names such as Edson Barboza, Rafael dos Anjos, Kevin Lee, Anthony Pettis, and Donald Cerrone. Given Ferguson’s unorthodox striking style, relentless pressure, and jiu-jitsu ability, the stylistic matchup against a fighter of Khabib’s caliber is an extremely interesting one.

However, if Ferguson is matched up against Poirier, that could also present a very interesting matchup of styles. Both men are black belts in jiu-jitsu and posses fight-ending knockout power. No matter which way you book it, fight fans are in for a treat when it comes to matchups at the top of the 155-pound rankings.

What do you think about Poirier volunteering to face Ferguson next?

Could fans be in store for one more huge title fight before the end of the year? Tony Ferguson is definitely hoping so.

On Monday, “El Cucuy” called out Khabib Nurmagomedov for a lightweight title fight to take place at UFC 245. That event is the promotion’s end-of-year show and takes place in Las Vegas on December 14.

“Pretty Sure We Can Make Some Room For Good Ol’Fathead @TeamKhabib # TeamTiramisuTakeover @ufc @danawhite Make It Happen #DefendorVacate #Accepted @BallengeeGroup Dec 14 -Champ Shit Only™” Ferguson tweeted while posting a picture of his past opponents that he had bloodied up.

Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson is a fight the mixed martial arts world has been hoping to see for many years now. It has been booked four times so far, but was called off on each occasion due to injuries. The most recent case was at UFC 223 in April last year where Ferguson got injured a week before the fight.

If booked for UFC 245, it would be the third title fight on the card and likely serve as the main event. Other title bouts booked are Max Holloway vs. Alexander Volkanovski and Amanda Nunes vs. Germaine de Randamie.

Hopefully, the fifth time is a charm.
