Tony Ferguson has signed his bout agreement and will meet Khabib Nurmagomedov for the UFC lightweight title on April 18. After Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC) inked his side of the deal earlier this week, it took slightly longer for Ferguson’s (25-3 MMA, 15-1 UFC) part of the deal to be finalized with the UFC. It was ultimately finalized though, and the highly anticipated 155-pound title fight is set. MMA Junkie verified the news of Ferguson’s signed bout agreement on Friday with a member of his management at Ballengee Group following an initial report from ESPN.com . The April 18 pay-per-view event, which does not have an event number, is expected to take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
