The third time’s supposed to be the charm, but a pair of the world’s best lightweights have gone above that already. UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC) and former interim champ Tony Ferguson (25-3 MMA, 15-1 UFC) have been booked to fight four times already. They’ve had fights scrapped in each year from 2015-2018. Now they’ve put pen to paper for a fifth time, hoping this will be the one that sticks. Ferguson signed his end of the booking agreement late Friday and now will challenge for Nurmagomedov’s belt in April
