There’s some bad blood between the pair, which started last year when Ferguson went on the 5ive Rounds podcast blasting Diaz for refusing to fight him and instead looking for another fight with Conor McGregor.
“He’s all on McGregor’s [expletive],” Ferguson said. “He’s like a f**king bad ex-girlfriend. Literally, a bad taste in somebody’s mouth if you win or you lose, you’ve gotta move on, dude. If you really want that money fight then you’re probably hurting for money. Literally, if you have that money fight, you should pay your taxes and then move on. This is a fighter sport. You’re ranked number what, eight? Ninth? Don’t you want to be better than that? S**t, dude you beat is ranked higher than you. Don’t you want an opportunity at the belt? Come on. I’m skipping a couple names but I’m giving you an opportunity. I’m doing you a favor, I’m not doing myself a f**king favor. I’m giving you a chance but if you don’t want it, that’s cool. I’ll give somebody else a chance.”
This weekend’s bout sees featherweight champion Max Holloway move up a division to save the event and potentially be a two division belt holder if he is able to beat Nurmagomedov. The Hawaiian faces an uphill battle against the man who has 25 wins and no losses in professional MMA.
