American UFC fighter Tony Ferguson criticized the recognition of the Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov as the best in the history of mixed martial arts. Tony named those who, in his opinion, are better than Khabib.

" He never fought me. How can you be considered the first number of the rating if you never fought with me?

John Jones, Anderson Silva, George Saint-Pierre, Matt Hughes - all these guys are much better than Khabib. How many times did they fight for the title, why did you forget them?

"

Earlier, disagreement with the first place of Khabib was expressed by John Jones, and Ferguson supported his colleague.

On October 24, Nurmagomedov defeated American Justin Getji, after which he announced the end of his sports career. He asked UFC management to put him first in the updated fighter rankings..

On October 27, Khabib topped the rating for the first time in his career. On account of his 29 fights and not a single defeat.
