Current #1 ranked UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov will be out for some time to get his health back up to par<\/a> after being hospitalized and pulled from the UFC 209 interim lightweight title fight against Tony Ferguson. With Nurmagomedov out, “El Cucuy” is still looking to solidify himself as the top UFC lightweight as the champion of the division, Conor McGregor<\/a> is concentrating on getting himself a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Ferguson said on The MMA Hour<\/a> that he was interested in a fight with Nate Diaz<\/a> out of all the lightweight contenders and pushed on the matchup speaking on the 5ive Rounds podcast<\/a> recently. Currently ranked #2<\/a> by the UFC in the lightweight division, “El Cucuy” said that he is actually doing Diaz a favor<\/a> with trying to arrange the matchup as the Stockton scrapper is sitting further down the ranks at #8.<\/p>\n

\"Tony<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cNate, you\u2019re not the last option,” Ferguson said (transcribed by Jed Meshew of MMA Fighting<\/a>). If you don\u2019t want to fight, go hide in a hole. But you\u2019ve got to admit on Twitter that you don\u2019t want to fight me. You\u2019re f**king scared homie. All that s**t\u2019s gotta go out the f**king window. \u2018Don\u2019t be scared homie.\u2019 People are gonna start throwing that s**t away and it\u2019s gonna be crazy.”<\/p>\n

Ferguson added that if Nate wants to wait on the sidelines for a trilogy fight against Conor McGregor, the future plans of “The Notorious” certainly could change if he rakes in a massive payday <\/a>in the world of professional boxing against Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n

\"UFC<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can wait for McNuggets but we all know if you wait for that fool, if he fights Mayweather and he doesn\u2019t fight again, you might not get another chance for a big money fight besides this guy. So I\u2019m giving you a shot. If you want it, it\u2019s perfect. If you like it, sign on the dotted line.\u201d<\/p>\n
