Ferguson earlier proposed the idea of going against his long time rival, Khabib, on TUF, as a coach.

Khabib responded to the tweet positively, saying he is all for it.

Tony was referring to the tweet Khabib shared back in 2017.

Ferguson was a big name and one of the fan favourites on UFC at that time.

"Hey @TonyFergusonXT if the @ufc don't want to pay you I'll pay you 200k extra on your purse let's make this fight now you have no excuse." - Khabib via twitter, 2017.

The match between the both has been fixed and cancelled five times ever since.
