The UFC has made some baffling moves during its 26 years of existence. However, stripping Khabib Nurmagomedov of his lightweight title would be among the most egregious. There’s no evidence that taking the belt away from the undefeated Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC) is in the UFC’s plans at the moment, but that’s what Tony Ferguson is lobbying for after a fight between the rivals fell apart for the fifth time at UFC 249. Yes, technically speaking, Nurmagomedov put the final deathblow on the 2020 version of this seemingly forever-cursed matchup. “The Eagle” took to social media on Wednesday and posted an insightful statement explaining why the barriers to him competing in the middle of the global coronavirus pandemic have simply become too much to overcome.
