But it seems there is finally a breakthrough!

Tony Ferguson is still keen on meeting Khabib as his opponent after all these years.

[{"selector":"#anim-945c83c3-cc44-43f6-8676-7710bb81c302 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-9.933997601708636%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

He earlier proposed the idea of going against his long time rival in TUF, as a coach.

I would love to be able to coach against him on The Ultimate Fighter. How about that?"- Tony Ferguson

And it seems the wait is over for Tony and fans as there is finally a positive response from Khabib!

"Tony I like the idea about TUF, call your bosses and let them make an offer, but if they don’t have ideas, I myself will offer you a deal on the @EagleFightClub platform, we doing some business here you know." - Khabib via twitter.
