3 Reasons why Tony Ferguson should face Conor McGregor on his return

#3 Conor McGregor took his opportunity

UFC 229: Khabib v McGregor Press Conference

Before the Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov fight was decided upon, Tony Ferguson was considered to be the right candidate to receive a shot at Khabib Nurmagomedov's title.

He had done a spectacular job in earning the Interim title, and he was the deserving candidate, as he had been stripped due to an illness. He was also about to get the shot against Nurmagomedov before McGregor inserted himself into the picture in a style only he can.

Since then it was impossible for him to contest the sheer drama that McGregor brought with him, and instead, Ferguson was reduced to a co-main event spot against Anthony Pettis in a non-title fight.

While the fight itself was incredible, Ferguson should have been fighting Khabib for the title instead.

McGregor took his opportunity, and now it is time for him to show once and for all that he is better than the 'Notorious One'.
