Fight fans are less than two weeks away from the lightweight title bout pitting interim champion Tony Ferguson against top contender Khabib Nurmagomedov in the UFC 223 pay-per-view (PPV) main event, which takes place Sat., April 7, 2018 inside Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Before fight week gets underway, both “El Cucuy” and “The Eagle” will join the mixed martial arts (MMA) media on today’s UFC 223 conference call, expected to get underway LIVE at 5 p.m. ET in the embedded video player above.
“El Cucuy” (23-3) won the substitute strap after submitting Kevin Lee at UFC 218 last October, while Nurmagomedov (25-0) punched his ticket to the top of the 155-pound mountain by crushing Edson Barboza at UFC 219 back in December.
The winner is likely to face Conor McGregor later this year.
