UFC 223 is an event that deserves a promo unlike no other.
In the headline act of UFC 223, we have been promised the best lightweight title fight ever. Never before have two 155 lbers on such streaks slugged it out for that coveted golden strap.
Tony Ferguson had to set a divisional record of 10 consecutive victories to win the interim belt. Khabib Nurmagomedov is undefeated in a staggering 25 professional bouts. They've tried to put this fight on three times before but now seems like the perfect moment for these two to collide.
Ferguson is a unique individual with an insane work ethic who leans towards the unconventional in terms of training and striking. Nurmagomedov used to wrestle bears as a kid. Not that you would be able to tell from the official promo that dropped during the spectacular UFC 222 card.

Spirits (Having Flown) by the Bee Gees provides the soundtrack. Snoop Dogg, Eddie Bravo and Joe Rogan bring the hype. Ferguson and Nurmagomedov bless us with the poetry.
There have been some excellent fanmade UFC promos in the past, but in our books, this could top them all. Remarkably, it's a year old too.
That's how long we've been waiting for this fight to happen.
