MMA ODDS AND ENDS FOR TUESDAY: NURMAGOMEDOV-FERGUSON, BISPING-WOODLEY RUMORS FLY

Khabib Nurmagomedov offers Tony Ferguson $200,000 to combat him far in 2017, a few high-profile UFC fighters seem to be taking it in their own hands — and mouths — to try to make some blockbuster matchups occur even if the organization has yet to approve them. Nothing has been formally planned out past March of this past year, with new possession staying quiet about strategies for title fights and other blockbuster bouts so far. But on Monday, No. 1 lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0) took to Twitter to allow No. 2 rival Tony Ferguson (22-3) know he is willing to put up $200,000 of his own money to create a struggle between them occur since the UFC has not done it for them…Ferguson had demanded equal pay to take on Nurmagomedov despite signing a new deal with the UFC that allegedly prevents that from making the same. UFC president Dana White said the struggle would not happen for this reason though the public is demanding it. The proposed bout is for the interim lightweight title with all present champion Conor McGregor (21-3) out of action for another 10 months to focus on the birth of his child. Michael Bisping and Tyron Woodley concur to catchweight bout? Yes, current UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping (30-7) and welterweight champ Tyron Woodley (16-3-1) were seen verbally agreeing to some superfight of sorts at a catchweight of 180 pounds backstage during UFC 207 last Friday in Las Vegas. Both fighters are coming off name defenses at the end of 2016 and right now do not have new opponents. Bisping posted the video below on his Instagram accounts to show the world that he means business. There is a current opening for a main event at UFC Fight Night 108 at the O2 Arena in London on March 18th, together with Bisping hinting at that as a possible date.
