Tony Ferguson is right now on a 11-0 streak, despite experiencing numerous restrictions. He has verged on testing Khabib in a battle beforehand on a few events, however for one reason or other, the two never wound up confronting one another. He keep going contended on UFC 229 in the co-headliner, where he crushed Anthony Pettis by TKO.
Dustin Poirier has had some achievement in the Octagon in his past battles too, crushing best names like Eddie Alvarez, Jim Miller, and Anthony Pettis.
Nonetheless, he at that point proceeded to state that as Khabib was from the Octagon, and was not prone to contend soon, he was prepared for different game plans to be made. By this message, he indicated that he was prepared to go up against Tony Ferguson on the off chance that he needed a battle.

Got to be the worst prediction/joke of 2019 already, here’s the correct one.
-TapChicken does not win a UFC Fight in 2019
-Diego Reyes becomes a star
-Rematch won’t happen, the fight was one sided af, Tony v Khabib will happen, Khabib wins it easily after a mauling sessionβ Khabib Time (@KhabibTime6) January 12, 2019
I agree,if someone can challenge Khabib, then Tony. Buuuut, Tony is to wild, no one punch knock out power and kevin lee took him down easily. Khabib will work him on the ground at will, tire him and take a boring easy decision.

Iβm not necessarily looking past him. I just think a lot of people are going to very surprised with some of the results in his upcoming fights. Namely the Khabib fight if people thinks itβs going to be a back and forth. Itβs either going to be complete domination as usual or Tony
