Ferguson (20-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) made it clear that before fighting Nurmagomedov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in the March 4 pay-per-view co-headliner at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, he would need a more lucrative contract . “El Cucey” wanted pay similar to Nurmagomedov, who even offered some of his own money to get the bout finalized. Ferguson declined, but after some back-and-forth with UFC brass, a deal was made.
