    Ferguson says there is something wrong with the UFC if they won't pay him what he's worth but his opponent will. He's right.

    Ferguson is outperforming his contract and risks a lot with this fight. But it looks like he won't take it.

    I get that he risks a lot with this fight, but this is his chance at a title (even if its ic). Who else in the division can he fight? Alvarez I guess? Thats not very exciting.

    Conor would be exciting, but khabib has a claim too.

    Khabib - Tony is the fight everyone wants to see.

    It is, but TBQH it is a great co-main for a PPV card. It doesn't draw money. AFAIK the Russians don't pay for PPV.

    The new UFC is only looking for big money fights. Why throw an extra $200k at Tony to make this one happen?

    Frustrating situation all around.

    Multiple reports that Nurmagomedov/Ferguson is a go for UFC 209.
