Tony Ferguson and Khabib’s manager go to war on Twitter

Tony Ferguson doesn’t hold anything back in the Octagon, but neither does he do so on social media. Just check out the Twitter war between Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s fiery manager Ali Abdelaziz.

It’s nothing new for Ferguson and Abdelaziz to trade barbs on social media, but the latest round started innocently enough with an initial post by ESPN. The worldwide leader in sports tweeted an infographic, apparently trying to amp up the likelihood of a fight between Conor McGregor and Justin Gaethje, the only uppercrust fighters in the UFC lightweight division currently without a bout scheduled.

Abdelaziz seized the moment to take shots at McGregor and Ferguson. He retweeted ESPN’s infographic, but superimposed a chicken head in place of McGregor’s face and a clown head in place of Ferguson.

Ferguson, of course, fired back, directly threatening Abdelaziz.

With no new UFC event this weekend, why not travel back in time and watch a classic full event from the old school days of mixed martial arts/no holds barred? What better event than UFC 12: Judgement Day from February 7, 1997?

For the first time ever, the UFC divided fighters into weight classes. UFC 12 featured a heavyweight (200 pounds and over) and a lightweight (199 pounds and under) tournament, along with a superfight between Mark Coleman and Dan Severn.

The event also marked Vitor Belfort’s debut in the UFC.

Walker obviously has other plans, although the end result is the same as he hopes to beat Jones and send him packing from the division.

“He chose “Marreta” [Thiago Santos], Luke Rockhold and me for the third option,” Walker said about Jones on Friday. “He chose me for third option because I’ll kick him out of the light heavyweight division.”

Check out the video above as Walker addresses Jones ahead of the light heavyweight champion defending his title against Thiago Santos at UFC 239 in July.
