Makhachev wanted Ferguson fight
“My brother Khabib supposed to fight with Tony Ferguson like five times,” Makhachev said in an interview with Adin Ross. “They both had injuries, the fight was canceled five times, and my dream (was) to fight this guy that moment, because I always with Khabib. When Khabib have injury, I ask my manager, ‘Hey, can I step in to fight with Tony?’
“And, you know, Tony in that moment, he’s like very good athlete, very good fighter. He have almost, yeah, more than 10-fight win streak in UFC. And this is one of the fight which I want fight like three, four years ago, but not right now because he has eight-fight losing streak. Wish him the best, but a couple of years ago, he was one of the high-level fighters from our division.”
