Ferguson trolls Nurmagomedov with tiramisu tweet
Tony Ferguson couldn't get his hands on Khabib Nurmagomedov in the cage, so he's sticking it to him on social media.
After their interim lightweight title fight at UFC 209 was canceled when Nurmagomedov was hospitalized due to issues with his weight cut, critics pointed to "UFC Embedded" footage of Nurmagomedov enjoying a hearty meal - which included a tiramisu dessert - in the weeks leading up to the bout.
On Tuesday night, Ferguson poked fun at his rival by tweeting out a picture of the offending delicacy along with a winking emoji.

The UFC 209 debacle was the third time a bout between Ferguson and Nurmagomedov had fallen through, so the promotion could be understandably skittish about booking them to collide again. If that's the case, "El Cucuy" will have to settle for dissecting Nurmagomedov's questionable dietary decisions.
