Their last 8 opponents..

CRE -

Both Champions have strengths where the other might have some weakness. Looks like vulnerability above to Tony Ferguson's granby rolls. Against Poirier we saw Khabib can leave his neck out there too.

Ferguson faced Josh Thomson on July 15, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 71.[27] He won the fight via unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, and 30–26) and earned his second straight Performance of the Night bonus.[28][29]

Ferguson was expected to face Khabib Nurmagomedov on December 11, 2015, at the Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale.[30] However, Nurmagomedov pulled out of the fight in late October, citing injury, and was replaced by Edson Barboza.[31] After a back-and-forth first round that had Ferguson docked one point due to an illegal upkick, Ferguson finished Barboza with a D'Arce choke submission in the second round.[32] He earned his third consecutive Performance of the Night bonus as well as a Fight of the Night bonus.

"Dos Anjos helped us a lot. For 2 years while Habib was injured, the Brazilian just dragged us. He cleaned up the division and everyone remembered that it was we who defeated Dos Anjos.

 Before the fight with Rafael, we held 3 gatherings in the mountains. I said to Habib: "This is the most serious opponent. We have no right to make a single mistake in 30 attacks. Not one!

And everything turned out perfectly, we did what we wanted. Very clean fight. And then Rafael helped us while we were treating the injury, defeated everyone in our weight "

Look at the list of names Tony has. Way better resume than Khabib.

I just worry that knee Injury took alot out of Tony.

Ferguson has won 8 bonuses in his last 8 UFC fights.

I wonder who CRE is going for? 

i've been out of cell service for a week now, has there actually been a date set for this yet?

Russ - i've been out of cell service for a week now, has there actually been a date set for this yet?

I've heard random internet whispers that both fighters want the end of the year card in Vegas
