Rafael dos Anjos

By FCF Staff

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s lengthy stint on the sidelines could continue, following the news that Tony Ferguson has withdrawn from their UFC on FOX 19 bout due to injury.

Since it’s been confirmed that Ferguson cannot fight at the April 16th event, both Donald Cerrone and Rafael dos Anjos have offered to fight the lightweight contender. Except, in the case of Cerrone, he’s willing to do it in ten days time. RDA is still recovering from a broken foot.

Sorry to hear Ferguson is out. @TeamKhabib We have some unfinished business, I'll be ready in July @danawhite @lorenzofertitta #Jesusfirst

Nurmagomedov hasn’t fought now since April, 2014, when he decisioned dos Anjos. The vaunted grappler has been out of action since due to injuries.

Cerrone is currently scheduled to fight welterweight Patrick Cote on June 18th.
