Tony Ferguson was supposed to be the opponent of the highly anticipated returning Khabib Nurmagomedov. Tony Ferguson is unfortunately injured and the world of MMA goes into speculation, rumours and we wait for hints or potential call outs.
There are many rumours as well as twitter call outs, Donald Cowboy Cerone has offered to fight Khabib but on the condition that he still gets to fight Patrick Cote in June. There are also rumours that BJ Penn has offered to fight Khabib.
BUT ALSO, perhaps the biggest development from this, the champion Rafael Dos Anjos has taken to twitter https://twitter.com/RdosAnjosMMA/status/717551331238486016
to say "Sorry to hear Ferguson is out. @TeamKhabib We have some unfinished business, I'll be ready in July" This is a great move by RDA and it's the rematch we all want to see. However many people think it's too soon for Khabib after a 2 and a half years off. But the crucial nail in the coffin is July is a confirmed no for Khabib because of Ramadan. So let the speculation live on!
