It will be the fifth time that the UFC tries to put together a fight between the popular lightweights.
But even though the couple has been very close to sharing the cage, Khabib has canceled the fight twice because of injury and failed weight cut, while Ferguson most notable withdrawal was had a freak accident one week ahead of UFC 223.
