Tony Ferguson has been warned to stay away from Li Jingliang by Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz. The Egyptian is the founder and president of Dominance MMA, which manages several other players like Kamaru Usman, Justin Gaethje, and Henry Cejudo.
Jingliang recently tweeted out saying he wanted to fight Ferguson:
“Hey Tony @TonyFergusonXT I’m bored now it’s too hot in Florida, let’s party. Me and you have unfinished business let’s dance in March, are you ready? Let’s go Champ @DanaWhite @UFC”
Take a look at the tweet:
Abdelaziz replied to the tweet saying:
“Leave him alone, he is not ready to fight the Chinese Bruce Lee the real Nan Chuckle King”
The Egyptian MMA manager believes Tony Ferguson is currently not ready to fight Li Jingliang. The Chinese MMA fighter hit a bit of a rough patch recently, managing to secure just two wins in his last five fights. Tony Ferguson, on the other hand, has lost all five of his last fights and is looking to get back to winning ways. The fight makes a lot of sense for both fighters.
Both Jingliang and Ferguson need a quick win to turn around their fate in the ring and gain confidence. This fight could be a do-or-die situation for both fighters, promising fireworks.

Tony Ferguson replies to Ali Abdelaziz’s comments about him
Tony Ferguson put up a very cryptic reply to Ali Abdelaziz’s comments about him potentially fighting Li Jingliang. He dragged in Khabib Nurmagomedov talking about how he believes the former champion ducked him and he asked the Chinese Mixed Martial Artist not to do the same. Here’s what Ferguson had to say on Twitter:
“Silly Ali, Dix Are For Chicks Keep Tellin’ Fathead @TeamKhabib To Quit Letting His Hair Down & Get On A Tredmill Shit, It’s Not Even Tuesday Ya’Eunic *mack* Be Gon’Thot *Double Mack* -Champ ⚔️? -CSO- B.O.G.O.Bish”
He attached two edited pictures of Khabib Nurmagomedov eating, for which he has received a lot of complaints since the former champion gained weight. Ferguson believes now that Conor McGregor has left, Nurmagomedov should come out of retirement and fight him next. Fans are hoping this fight is made between two explosive fighters with knockout strength.
