Editor:

  • Pelatih Khabib Nurmagomedov, Javier Mendez, meyakini Tony Ferguson akan jadi lawan terberat anak asuhnya.
  • Menurut Mendez, Ferguson merupakan petarung MMA dengan kemampuan komplet.
  • Nurmagomedov dan Ferguson akan berduel dalam main card UFC 249 pada 18 April 2020.

SKOR.id – Atlet tarung bebas (MMA) Rusia, Khabib Nurmagomedov, tengah bersiap menghadapi partai ke-29 sepanjang kariernya. Ia dijadwalkan berduel dengan Tony Ferguson dalam UFC 249.

Pelatih Nurmagomedov, Javier Mendez mengklaim bahwa Ferguson akan menjadi lawan terberat anak asuhnya itu. Tentu saja bukan tanpa alasan ia menyatakan hal tersebut.

Mendez sempat memuji kemampuan menyerang Conor McGregor, lawan yang dikalahkan Khabib Nurmagomedov, pada UFC 229, 6 Oktober 2018 lalu.

Namun ia menilai Ferguson akan menjadi tantangan terbesar yang harus dilewati Nurmagomedov dalam kariernya karena sang lawan merupakan petarung lengkap.

“Saya pikir, secara keseluruhan, Tony (Ferguson) adalah yang paling berat dengan semua kemampuan yang dimilikinya,” ujar Javier Mendez.

“Dia bisa sangat berbahaya menggunakan kedua tangan dan kakinya dalam pertarungan terbuka maupun grappling,” pelatih asal Amerika Serikat (AS) itu.

Ini yang membuat Javier Mendez terus mempersiapkan Khabib Nurmagomedov untuk menghadapi segala ancaman yang mungkin dihadirkan Ferguson dalam oktagon nanti.

“Pada pertarungan terakhir (versus Dustin Poirier), Khabib tidak maksimal,” kata Mendez. “Namun dia terus berkembang di banyak area. Jadi duel berikutnya, publik akan melihat Khabib yang baru.”

Bagi Tony Ferguson, duel dengan Nurmagomedov akan menjadi yang pertama sejak Jun 2019 ketika dirinya mengalahkan Donald Cerrone.

Kendati jedanya lebih panjang dibandingkan Nurmagomedov, Mendez percaya hal itu tidak akan banyak berpengaruh. Menurutnya, Ferguson tetap lawan sulit bagi anak asuhnya.

“Untuk saat ini, sulit untuk mengatakannya. Kita akan melihatnya saat pertandingan berlangsung. Khabib belum pernah menghadapi lawan seperti Tony, begitu pun sebaliknya,” kata Mendez.     

Nurmagomedov dan Ferguson akan bertemu dalam main card UFC 249 pada 18 April 2020. Sempat ada kekhawatiran duel bakal ditunda menyusul pandemi virus corona (Covid-19) yang melanda dunia.

Tetapi Presiden UFC Dana White memastikan hingga kini tidak ada rencana perubahan jadwal. Hanya saja, lokasinya yang kemungkinan digeser, tidak jadi digelar di AS.

“Kami berharap semuanya akan lebih baik pada April dan pertarungan ini (UFC 249) bisa tetap digelar sesuai jadwal,” ujar White. “Apapun akan kami lakukan, termasuk menggeser tempat.”

Mendez pun meyakini Dana White dan koleganya akan melakukan semua kekuatan mereka untuk memastikan UFC 249 bisa tetap dilaksanakan.

“Tetapi saya tidak tahu apakah Dana (White) mampu karena tidak akan mungkin mengontrol pemerintah (AS),” kata Mendez. “Kami semua berharap yang terbaik.”
