UFC: Khabib vs Ferguson Betting Odds
After being reserved to face each other four times and having some thing hinder on every one of those occasions, Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov seem destined to not fight. But, just in case they eventually meet from the Octagon, the undefeated Nurmagomedov is a -200 favored with Ferguson coming straight back at +170.
Nurmagomedov is a perfect 26-0 in his MMA career with 16 of those victories coming via stoppage. Khabib last competed in the Octagon at UFC 223 where he mauled Al Iaquinta.
With a master of sambo and a black belt in judo, Khabib excels in suffocating his rival possibly greater than any other fighter in the UFC. Nurmagomedov is relentless in his pursuit of the takedown, also holds the record for most takedowns in a single game in UFC history (21), but is far from out of his element when it comes to striking. Khabib includes a deadly array of punches and knees that may easily establish a T/KO victory.
Ferguson, the current interim winner, is 13-1 in the UFC and enters this battle on a 10-fight win streak. “El Cucuy” is excellent in using his reach to his advantage in the standup game, but is a volume striker who likes to drive the pace. He’s knockout power in both hands while also displaying a varied arsenal on his feet. Ferguson isn’t merely a striker, as among the 23 career victories have come via submission. His slick movement and aggressive style placed opponents in awkward places he capitalizes on.
