UFC President Dana White said how Tony Ferguson’s battle pattern will change after changing his rival, lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov to Justin Gatji.
“The biggest difference between this fight and the fight with Habib is that with Habib there would be much more grappling. He also beats in the rack, but always wants to transfer the opponent to the ground and destroys. This will not happen now, ”White said in an interview with ESPN. “I do not claim that there will be no stalls at all, but it will be a battle in the stance until one falls into knockout.” Tony has many skills, both in the stance and in the stalls, with which he can finish the fight ahead of schedule. He shows crazy knees in a jump, elbow kicks with a U-turn. He does something that is impossible to prepare for. Gatzy loves to go forward, able to knock out with both hands. That is what he aims from gong to gong. This fight will certainly become one of the best fights this year. ”
Recall that the Ferguson-Gatgi fight will lead the UFC 249 tournament, which will be held tomorrow, May 9 in Florida.
