Twitter Mailbag: Why rush Tony Ferguson at UFC 249, and how does Conor McGregor fit in?

Questions on your mind about recent happenings in MMA or the sport in general? MMA Junkie’s Twitter Mailbag is here – and this week it’s @Farah_Hannoun to answer:

  • What’s the point of the UFC rushing Tony Ferguson considering fans have been waiting for him to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov for half a decade now?
  • Do you think Georges St-Pierre vs. Khabib will ever happen, and what advantages does each fighter have over the other?
  • Who are the top five UFC fighters to never win a championship belt?
  • If Justin Gaethje beats Ferguson to claim the interim title at UFC 249, is it a guarantee he’d unify vs. Khabib? OR Could Conor McGregor potentially be next in that scenario?

Those are answered in the video above.

To ask a question of your own, follow @MMAjunkie on Twitter and let us know.
