UFC 223 is coming, the most awaited lightweight championship of all time will happen at last. I hope no one gets injured in their preparation.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is a beast, we all know that it's Khabib time but never underestimate Tony Ferguson, he is a different animal with weird and crazy techniques that's why a lot of fighters were so afraid to fight him.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is the fan favorite for this match up, even Dana White is rooting for him but don't be surprised if Tony submits him, his jiu jitsu is on a different level. His mentor Eddie Bravo is a beast and is proven to create a game plan that will work on any fighter at Khabib's level.
For sure, Khabib is not underestimating Tony, he is well prepared. The only question is... who is mentally tougher, I think tony has an edge when it comes to mental toughness because he s already battled tested and is proven that he can make a come back when he is down. Khabib on the other hand hasn't face anything like Tony yet, we haven't seen him behind in a fight and we don't know how will he react when tony cuts him.
In terms of conditioning... Tony Ferguson has an edge, we haven't seen him gassed out. We always see Khabib breathing heavily, we seen it during his fight with Gleison Thibau and Michael Johnson, if you take a look at his fight with Michael Johnson closely... he is breathing heavily while talking to Dana White, it just happens that Michael Johnson's spirit is already broken that's why he can't win anymore.
This is a very exciting fight and I'm sure Conor McGregor is watching in his house counting his millions of dollars.
Meanwhile on the under card... Joanna Jedrzejczyk will try to get her belt back from Rose Namajunas, Joanna is making a lot of excuses about her weight but Rose is secretly not believing it.
