10 UFC Fights That Could Soon Break Records
3. Khabib Nurmagomedov Vs. Tony Ferguson
Right, the final three fights on this list are here because of one reason.
They could all realistically break the UFC buyrate record.
The first of these possible record-pulverising fights has been made FIVE times over the years and we still haven't seen the pair throw down in the Octagon.
Absence - without a shadow of a doubt - has made the heart grow fonder for the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson clash we will finally be treated to at UFC 249 in April. Because of this, you can guarantee that every MMA fan on the planet will be tuning in to see who comes out on top in this battle between arguably two of the greatest fighters ever to step foot inside of the UFC.
If that wasn't enough, the track record of this fight failing to come to fruition over the years also adds another must-see dynamic into the mix.
The idea of Conor McGregor jumping in as a last minute replacement.
We'll get to the other potential clash in a moment, but for a minute just entertain a world where McGregor and Ferguson battle it out for the vacant or interim UFC Lightweight title.
Money.
Whatever fight happens to go down on the night, you can bet that die-hards and casuals alike will have their eyes glued to the screen come UFC 249, and that may spell the breaking of yet another PPV record.
