“I believe that we had one of the best training camps. Habib is now in perfect shape. I do not want to speak in figures and facts, but he was in great shape. It was the longest camp. He was in perfect shape. I think Ferguson would have lasted two, two and a half rounds. This is my opinion, ”said Nurmagomedov Sr. on the Ushatayka YouTube channel.

On April 1, Nurmagomedov announced that the title fight with Ferguson, which was scheduled to take place on April 18 in New York as part of the main event of the UFC 249 tournament, was canceled because he could not fly away from Russia due to quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic. Thus, their battle has been canceled for the fifth time since 2015.

Earlier, the father of Nurmagomedov assessed the financial condition of his son.
