Filed under: Featured , News , UFC LAS VEGAS – Tony Ferguson isn’t particularly interested in attempting to book a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov for a fourth time after their matchup was scrapped on the eve of Saturday’s UFC 209 event. The interim lightweight title matchup between Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) and Nurmagomedov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) was removed from Saturday’s lineup when Nurmagomedov fell ill during his weight cut and was hospitalized on the morning of weigh-ins. Although Ferguson was paid his fight purse (“show” money) of $250,000 for UFC 209, according to Nevada State Athletic Commission records, he was still emotionally crushed he couldn’t compete in what was the most significant and highest-profile fight of his career
