Khabib Nurmagomedov reflects on the lightweight title picture
Nurmagomedov has reiterated his belief that Ferguson’s interim lightweight title is the ‘real’ 155lbs belt.
“Real belt is 25-0,” Nurmagomedov said during the UFC 219 post-fight press conference. “This is real belt. They’re all fake belts.
“To be honest, real belt is Tony Ferguson. Conor, he has only one fight in UFC at 155 and he have champion.
“He beat Eddie Alvarez. He’s good fighter, but he’s not champ. I think lot of people can beat him in 155. This is my opinion. I think lot of people can beat him at 155.
“He has good boxing, good timing, but he don’t have wrestling, he don’t have grappling, he don’t have conditioning, but he have a belt.”
