The situation in the UFC lightweight division leaves much to be desired. There are so many talented fighters in this weight class that each of the top five in the division is worthy of fighting for the title. Tony Ferguson, Kevin Lee and Dustin Poirier stand out among all the fighters.
Tony Ferguson is next in line for the title with his impressive winning streak, followed by Dustin Poirier. No one is going to organize a fight between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov right now. There are at least two reasons for this.
The first is that it is unknown how long the lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov will be suspended for staging a mass brawl after defeating Irish fighter Conor McGregor. This fight was the most discussed event and many of the fighters involved were punished. However, it is still unknown what will happen to the champion and what period of disqualification awaits him.
The second reason is that they have already tried to arrange a fight between the owners of the longest winning streaks more than once. The fight was organized four times and all four times this fight was disrupted. The score of the fighters is equal: two breakdowns from Khabib Nurmagomedov and two breakdowns from Tony Ferguson. There seems to be a curse on this fight that prevents the fighters from identifying the strongest.
Another contender for the belt, Dustin Poirier, is offering a fight with Tony Ferguson. And this fight is taking place, as the champion will not be able to appear in the UFC octagon in the near future anyway. Both fighters have a spectacular fighting style. Tony's non-standard percussion technique “El Cucuya by Ferguson and classic boxing by Dustin “Diamond” They can give fans one of the best fights in history.
Dustin Poirier wants to win the status of the most important contender in the lightweight division so that he is next to the title and no one can challenge it. After all, he had already been promised a fight for the title of champion once - UFC President Dana White. But it didn't come true when Irish fighter Conor McGregor appeared on the horizon, winning a championship fight.
Poirier himself expressed a strong desire to clash with Ferguson in order to determine the contender for the lightweight gold. He in no way downplays the merits of the Mexican, however, his words are objective. And since Khabib Nurmagomedov cannot fight, the two strongest contenders for the belt must fight each other. However, if Ferguson chooses to wait for a fight with the champion, Poirier has other options. Dustin has a long-standing defeat against Conor McGregor, which he wants to close.
