Chael Sonnen thinks Tony Ferguson could be Khabib Nurmagomedov ’s toughest test to date and says the winner could legitimately lay claim to being the greatest lightweight in UFC history. Speaking to RT Sport , ESPN analyst Sonnen offered his take on the upcoming fight between UFC lightweight champion Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC) and former interim champion Ferguson (25-3 MMA, 15-1 UFC) at UFC 249 on Apr. 18. “You know, it’s very hard to pick against Khabib with what you’ve seen and I must also share with you I have a bias towards Tony because we are former teammates,” said Sonnen, before revealing: “I do really like Tony’s chances going into this, and I like them more and more as the fight gets closer.” Ferguson, like Nurmagomedov, is on a 12-fight win streak in the UFC.
