"We hated each other for a long time, and Khabib's dad did him a favor by keeping him away from me... They felt the danger when it came to these f*cking bloody fights.

That dude will never fight me. Neither him or Conor would step in the f*cking a cage with me. That is the fear that I instilled in both of those gentlemen that night that I fought Pettis.

I was about to take all three of them that night. I f*cking would have just wore all their blood that night."

Tony Ferguson reflects on his rivalry with Khabib.
