According to UFC President Dana White, 2020 is going to be a huge year for UFC and he has major plans for the upcoming year. Tony Ferguson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov is surely one of those plans. Khabib vs Tony was last slated for UFC 223 but Ferguson missed out on the card due to an unfortunate accident. Khabib also faced a suspension for his post-fight brawl at UFC 229 but both of them have marked their UFC returns with spectacular wins. Tony Ferguson knocked out Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC 238 and Khabib defended his lightweight title with ease by making Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier submit at UFC 242. It is the perfect time for the fight with both the fighters in their prime and Dana White is surely going to make this fight happen.

UFC President Dana White said that 2020 is going to be a massive year for UFC. Conor McGregor has already expressed his urge to return in the January 18 card and with fighters like Jorge Masvidal and Israel Adesanya in the roster, Dana White believes that the upcoming year will be highly profitable. In the meantime, Tony Ferguson vs Khabib Nurmagomedov is confirmed and President Dana White is absolutely happy with it.
