Khabib Nurmagomedov offers Tony Ferguson $200,000 to combat him So far in 2017, a couple of high-profile UFC fighters appear to be taking it in their own hands — and mouths — to try to generate some blockbuster matchups happen even when the organization has to approve them. Nothing has been formally planned out past March of this year, with new possession staying quiet about plans for title fights and other blockbuster bouts so far. But on Monday, No. 1 lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0) took to Twitter to allow No. 2 rival Tony Ferguson (22-3) know he is ready to put up $200,000 of his own money to create a struggle between them happen since the UFC hasn’t done it for them…Ferguson had demanded equal pay to carry on Nurmagomedov despite signing a new deal with the UFC that reportedly prevents that by making exactly the same. UFC president Dana White said the fight would not occur for that reason though the public is demanding it. The proposed bout is for the interim lightweight title with all present champion Conor McGregor (21-3) out of action for another 10 weeks to focus on the birth of his kid. Michael Bisping and Tyron Woodley agree to 180-pound catchweight bout? Yes, current UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping (30-7) and welterweight champ Tyron Woodley (16-3-1) also were spotted verbally agreeing to some superfight of sorts at a catchweight of 180 pounds backstage during UFC 207 last Friday at Las Vegas. Both fighters are coming off title defenses in the end of 2016 and right now do not have new competitions. Bisping posted the video under on his Instagram accounts to show the world that he means business. There is a current opening for a primary event at UFC Fight Night 108 in the O2 Arena in London on March 18th, with Bisping hinting at that as a possible date.
