Diaz<\/a> while the dust settles at lightweight.<\/p>\n\u201cI think now is the perfect time for that [Nate Diaz Trilogy fight],\u201d Sonnen said (transcription via Denis Shkuratov). \u201cAnd look, I know everything that\u2019s been said is we\u2019re going to keep Conor on ice and we\u2019re gonna put him against Khabib, the winner of Khabib-Tony in September. But of course, that was believing that Khabib was going to win.”<\/p>\n
![\"Tony](\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tony-Ferguson-Khabib-Nurmagomedov-Dana-White-1.png\")
<\/p>\n
Chael Sonnen continued:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to understand, if that is still the plan, then that means we\u2019re getting ready to pull the screw job on Tony a second time. They have promised Tony an interim title fight for the second time. The first time he did it. He never lost it. And all of a sudden that belt is gone. We as fans cannot allow that to happen. If Tony comes out of this thing, Tony needs to be fighting Khabib. And if at some point they try to slide in Conor, which is likely, maybe not likely, but possible, that means we screwed Tony a second time. We can\u2019t let that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tony Ferguson was of course previously stripped of his UFC interim lightweight title after defeating Kevin Lee.<\/p>\n
Despite being screwed in the past, ‘El Cucuy’ appears to believe that Dana White and UFC officials will deliver ‘The Eagle’ as promised if he defeats Justin Gaethje on May 9.<\/p>\n
Do you agree with Chael Sonnen that fans should be worried about a potential second Tony Ferguson screw job?<\/p>\n
