The fifth time will not be a charm for Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson . After a freak accident left Ferguson (23-3 MMA, 13-1 UFC) injured and unable to compete at UFC 223, UFC President Dana White said he’s done trying to make the fight. “Hell no,” White told ESPN.com when asked whether a fifth potential booking would materialize. Nurmagomedov (25-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) is now set to face UFC featherweight champ Max Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) for the undisputed lightweight title, which will be stripped from current champ Conor McGregor. Ferguson has been stripped of the interim title he won this past October by beating Kevin Lee at UFC 216.
