Khabib Nurmagomedov was initially scheduled to defend his lightweight gold against former interim champion Tony Ferguson. However, the bout fell apart after travel restrictions in light of the coronavirus made it impossible for Khabib Nurmagomedov to travel to the United States of America. Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje accepted the fight on quick notice for the interim Lightweight Championship. In what was the first UFC live event after the major outbreak of coronavirus, Gaethje put up an incredible display of boxing and completely dominated Tony Ferguson. He picked up a TKO victory in the fifth round to become the interim lightweight Champion.

“I’ve known Justin Gaethje for a while since he fought in WSOF, then PFL. I remember in 2016 when I was returning after I had three surgeries in a row. When Tony Ferguson got injured and I got Darrel Horcher on 9 days notice, Justin helped me cut weight. I had a tough weight cut. He helped me cut the last 2.5 kg before the weigh-ins.”

Khabib also revealed that Justin Gaethje helped him cut weight before his short-notice fight against Darrel Horcher. Both the fighters are managed by Dominance MMA and share a good relationship. Khabib Nurmagoemdov appreciated Gaethje’s performance soon after his win over Tony Ferguson, and both the fighters have remained cordial towards each other in the lead up to the fight.
