Khabib Nurmagomedov [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/] will face Tony Ferguson in the main event of UFC 249 in New York. The duo was scheduled to fight multiple times prior but different factors prevented the fight from happening. With the fight right around the corner, Bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo gives his prediction. Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the best wrestlers in the UFC. The Dagestani has dominated his opponents throughout his career. Till now, he holds an undefeated record of 28-0. Khabib has one of the best gas tanks in the sport. With his relentless pace and pressure, he has managed to take down almost all of his opponents. When Khabib takes his opponents down, it can be guaranteed that they are not getting back up. From there, he either ground and pounds them into unconsciousness or mercifully submits them. Throughout his career, he has learned to mask his takedowns behind his strikes. On the other hand, Tony Ferguson [https://www.ufc.com/athlete/tony-ferguson] is an animal. Since his loss to Michael Johnson, Tony became one of the most lethal mixed martial artists on the planet. Like Khabib, Tony’s cardio is off the charts. He has the most unorthodox striking combined with a dangerous ground game. Unlike most fighters, Tony triumphs on his back. He can throw his signature elbows as well as attempt submissions from his guard. He has one of the most treacherous guards in the game. KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV BY TKO: HENRY CEJUDO Khabib Nurmagomedov [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1-212.jpg]Cejudo, who is the current UFC bantamweight champion predicted the outcome of Khabib vs Tony. He said, “Khabib. TKO. First-round. The King of Cringe called it.” Cejudo believes that Khabib will win the fight within the first minute of the first round. He also mentioned that the first punch of the fight will be the last. Khabib is not known for his knockout power as much as he is known for his wrestling. One can say that Cejudo was just expressing his support to a fellow wrestler. Both Cejudo and Khabib are managed by the same manager, Ali Abdelaziz. What’s your opinion on Khabib vs Tony?

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Henry Cejudo?</strong></h2>
Henry Cejudo reached the pinnacle of his combat career when he defeated <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/Marlon-Moraes/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Marlon Moraes</a> at UFC 238 and clinched the vacant UFC bantamweight title. This win made him the only fourth fighter in the promotion's history to hold two championships simultaneously. The American fighter boasts of an illustrious resume that also includes an Olympic gold medal. After enjoying a reign at the top, 'The Messenger' hung up his gloves in 2020, only to announce his comeback after a layoff of three years.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Henry Cejudo's</b><b> early life</b></h2>
The 36-year-old fighter was born to Mexican immigrants Jorge Cejudo and Nelly Rico. He spent his early childhood in Los Angeles. However, Cejudo along with his family first moved to New Mexico and subsequently to Phoenix.

Cejudo is the youngest of his siblings, Jorge and Alonzo Cejudo, his brothers, and Ana Karolina, Maria, and Gloria Cejudo, his sisters.

Cejudo got enrolled at Grand Canyon University in 2010, the same year he picked up amateur boxing. He graduated in 2015 with a degree in theology. He found inspiration in his elder brother, Angel Cejudo, and devoted his focus to wrestling.

The pair reportedly met through a mutual friend and officially tied the knot on September 17, 2021.

The couple is blessed with a beautiful daughter, America, and a son Enzo Carlos Cejudo.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Henry Cejudo has a net worth of $2 million. The varied sources of his income majorly include money collected from fighting in the UFC. Besides, a small chunk is also amassed through endorsements.

The former champion took home the base salary of $350,00 when he last faced Dominick Cruz at UFC 249.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Henry Cejudo's career timeline</b></h2>
'Triple C' won his freshman titles in Arizona. In addition, he won the Colorado State Championships (CHSAA) as a junior and also as a senior. These accomplishments enabled him to feature in the USA Wrestling Magazine's Dream Team of High School All-Americans.

In 2006, he joined the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado. Within a year of his senior debut, he won the US National Championship at 55 kilograms. He followed it with a bronze medal at the World Cup in 2007.

The most notable accomplishment in his life came in 2008 when he represented the United States at the Olympics. Cejudo won the gold in the 55kg category and became the youngest American wrestler to do so.

While he switched to MMA, the Los Angeles native had a brief stint in wrestling in 2015 when he faced Tony Ramos at the "Agon V: Iowa against the World" event. However, his opponent scored a come-from-behind victory and spoiled his return. Prior to his debut for UFC in 2014, the Olympic medalist fought under the banner of the World Fighting Federation and Legacy FC.

While he failed to secure the title, after a wait of two years, he racked up a split decision win against 'Mighty Mouse' at UFC 227.

Following this, Cejudo mounted a challenge for the vacant UFC bantamweight title and etched his name in history after defeating Marlon Moraes at UFC 238. In a bid to focus on the 135 lbs division, he relinquished his flyweight title.

However, Cejudo surprised the MMA world as he announced his retirement from UFC after successfully defending his title against Dominick Cruz in May 2020. Markedly, he called off his retirement to face <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/aljamain-sterling/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Aljamain Sterling</a> at UFC 288 and lost via split decision.

Henry Cejudo: Net Worth 2024, Record, Wife & Endorsements

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Khabib Nurmagomedov: Net Worth 2024, MMA Record, Wife, and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Khabib Nurmagomedov?</strong></h2>
A name that needs no introduction, Khabib Nurmagomedov is a retired MMA fighter who is an absolute legend and retired from the sport undefeated. This combat Sambo specialist is known for his dominant wrestling and grappling skills, alongside extraordinary ground control.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]<img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-938744056" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0040758407h.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="762" /> via Imago[/caption]

The first Muslim to have won a UFC title, Nurmagomedov's influence extends way beyond the octagon, especially in Russia, his home. So here's a peek at the life of 'The Eagle' from the mountains of Dagestan, who vanquished all the UFC middleweight contenders.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s early life</strong></h2>
<strong>Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov</strong> was born into an Avar family on September 20, 1988, in Sildi village, located in the Tsumadinsky District of the Dagestan ASSR in the former Soviet Union, which is now part of Russia. His father, <strong>Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov</strong>, was a decorated athlete and war veteran. Khabib has two siblings, an older brother named <strong>Muhammad Nurmagomedov</strong> and a younger sister named <strong>Amina Nurmagomedov</strong>. He received his early education in his village's local school, where his father guided him in combat training from a young age.

When he was fifteen, the family moved to Makhachkala, where he continued wrestling training and began taking judo classes. Khabib found the switch from wrestling to judo difficult, but his father insisted that Khabib learn how to compete in a gi jacket.

In addition to his fighting training, Khabib continued his schooling, enrolling in the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics and was a third-year student as of 2019. Despite his academic pursuits, Khabib remained focused on his combat sports career.

Khabib Nurmagomedov's father was Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov and his mother's name is not disclosed. Abdulmanap was a highly respected MMA coach and former wrestler who trained numerous champions, including his own son Khabib. He was known for his innovative training methods and his ability to inspire his fighters to achieve their full potential. He also played a key role in the development of MMA in Dagestan, Russia, where he founded and ran a successful gym.

Khabib's mother was a homemaker who played a crucial role in supporting her husband's coaching career and raising their kids. In fact, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-im-only-32-years-old-khabib-nurmagomedov-reveals-whether-he-would-return-to-ufc-with-his-mothers-permission/" target="_self" rel="noopener">it was due to his mother's promise that Khabib retired from fighting</a>.

Sadly, Abdulmanap passed away in 2020 after complications from COVID-19, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire generations of fighters to come.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong> Khabib Nurmagomedov’s wife and children</strong></h2>
Khabib Nurmagomedov and his wife Patimat Nurmagomedov tied the knot in June 2013. Not much information is available on his wife as she does not have any social media presence, and Khabib has always maintained privacy regarding his personal life.

The couple has three children. Their firstborn was a daughter named Fatima Nurmagomedov, born on 1 June 2015. Two years later, they welcomed a son named Magomed Nurmagomedov, named after Khabib's great-grandfather, on 30 December 2017. Another son, Husayn Nurmagomedov, was born on 22 December 2019.

Despite Khabib's fame as a professional fighter, his family of five lives a private life away from the public eye. They keep their personal life out of the spotlight and focus on spending time together as a family.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Khabib's victory over Conor McGregor elevated his status to a Mega Star. He made over $6,640,000 against Conor. However, he was fined $0.5 million for the post-fight brawl.

Nurmagomedov was awarded a whopping $6,877,500 for his second title defense against Dustin Poirier. As per reports, 'The Eagle' has made $21,720,200 in his 13 UFC fights. <strong>'The Eagle' has an estimated net worth of $40 million.</strong>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Khabib Nurmagomedov’s career timeline</strong></h2>
Khabib Nurmagomedov burst onto the MMA scene with a bang in 2008 when he made his debut. He secured an impressive four wins in just one month, three of which were on a single day. He continued to compete in various tournaments and championships until he set his sights on joining the UFC.

After amassing a record of 16 wins outside of the UFC, Khabib finally made his UFC debut in 2012, and it was a resounding success. He defeated Kamal Shalorus by submission in the third round and continued his path of destruction from his previous victories outside the octagon. He went on to defeat the likes of Gleison Tibau, Edson Barboza, Michael Johnson, and Thiago Tavares before embarking on his title run.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-3245111776 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-3245111776" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-622881456.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
Despite his dominant performances, Khabib's championship pursuits were stalled by a series of injuries and missed opportunities. However, he remained steadfast in his training and skill refinement. Eventually, he earned a shot at the UFC lightweight title in 2018 against Al Iaquinta. That fight saw Iaquinta stepping up on short notice, leading to Khabib living his dream.

After that, in a highly anticipated showdown with champion<strong> Conor McGregor</strong>, Khabib delivered a dominant performance, submitting his opponent in the fourth round to claim the belt. However, the victory was marred by a post-fight brawl that erupted between Khabib and McGregor's team, leading to fines and suspensions for both fighters.

<p id="node---33435-figcap">via Getty</p>

</figcaption></figure>
Undeterred by the controversy, Khabib continued to defend his title with impressive victories over top contenders like Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. However, in October 2020, Khabib announced his retirement from MMA, citing personal reasons and a desire to focus on his family and other endeavors.

One of these endeavors is his role as a promoter for the MMA organization Eagle FC, which he founded in 2019. Drawing on his experience as a fighter and coach, Khabib is working to develop a new generation of talented fighters and promote the sport in his home country of Russia and beyond.

In 2019, Khabib announced he was the brand ambassador of a payment service called SalamPay. Apart from that, he is sponsored by big companies like Gorilla Energy, Reebok, and Toyota.

The champion also makes quite a lot of money for special appearances. According to his manager, the Russian charges $300k per day for speaking engagements.

Apart from these, Nurmagomedov owns several brands that he has named after his moniker 'The Eagle'. This includes an MMA promotion known as the 'Eagle Fighting Championship', which conducted its first North American event in 2022.

'The Eagle' also launched a fast-food chain known as M-eat. Currently, the eatery has 14 locations in Russia and plans to venture into neighboring countries in the future.

According to some local publications of Dagestan, the house boasts two rooms with ottomans and beds, a pantry, and even what they describe as an old refrigerator.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, however, lives in Nurmagomedov Street. Yes! That right. Nonetheless, it was not named after either his or his father's legacy but his Sambo world champion uncle Nurmagomed Nurmagomedov.

But this entire picture changes when it comes to his American homes.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tony Ferguson Net Worth 2024, Record, Wife, Height, &amp; More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Tony Ferguson? </strong></h2>
The famed 'Boogeyman' of the UFC, Tony Ferguson, has been the fighter to watch out for over a decade and has grown by leaps and bounds in his journey. The former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion has now transitioned to the welterweight division and is trying to achieve success there. Over the years, Ferguson has developed a style difficult to beat, and he has destroyed his opponents. His high pace and pressure make it difficult for opponents to catch up with him. He is the most unorthodox and unpredictable fighter in the UFC.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tony Ferguson’s Early Life </strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Ferguson was born in the Californian city of Oxnard. However, his stay there was pretty brief, as his family relocated to Muskegon, Michigan, where he spent most of his childhood. Despite carrying mixed American and Mexican roots, 'El Cucuy' often recognizes himself as a true American because of his birth and growing up in the US. Notably, the fighter's mother, Mary Padilla, has American roots, while his biological had Mexican roots. He carries the surname Ferguson because of his Scottish-American stepfather, Armand Ferguson.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Ferguson showcased his prowess in sports right from his adolescence days. He joined the Muskegon Catholic Central High School, where he became a three-sport athlete competing in football, baseball, and wrestling. He served as a starting defensive back for the Division 8 state football champions of the year 2000. Ferguson also didn't fail to showcase his mettle in wrestling. He went on to become a three-time All-State selection, bagging the championship of the 152-lb division in 2002.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Ferguson had a failed attempt at completing his college degree. He enrolled in three colleges, Central Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, and Muskegon Community College, but dropped out from each of them before completing his due course for a degree. However, he had a fruitful collegiate wrestling career, as he conquered the 165-pound division of the National Wrestling Championship in 2006, organized by the National Collegiate Wrestling Association.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Post college, 'the Boogeyman of the UFC' experienced a pretty ordinary life. He moved back to California and started working as a marketing and sales executive during the day and as a bartender at night. However, it was this stint as a bartender that eventually propelled him to get into MMA.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">One night, while Ferguson was at his bartending desk, one of his patrons noticed his cauliflower ear and struck up a conversation about how he got it. Eventually, he got to know about the '39-year-old's' wrestling background. The person was an MMA trainer himself. Also, he is the actual one who got 'El Cucuy' into MMA initially, by inviting him to train in his gym alongside a few other young athletes.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Reportedly, Ferguson got instantly hooked on the sport after his training and even decided to go for a professional career in MMA. Most fans might agree it was the bar conversation about Ferguson's cauliflower ear which propelled him toward becoming one of the biggest names in MMA today.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tony Ferguson’s Wife and Children</strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">The name of Ferguson's wife is Christina Servin Ferguson. They reportedly tied the know in 2012 and have two kids together. The few reports available about her also suggest that she attended California State University during her collegiate years. It was on April 28, 2016, that Tony and Christina welcomed their eldest son, Armand Anthony, into the world while their younger son was born on May 31, 2021, and they named him Angel Anthony.</p>
 Notably, the couple hit a rough patch in 2019 as Christina filed a restraining order against her husband and the two got indulged in a legal battle. She claimed that the fighter was going through some issues since 2017 and it was important for him to receive help to emerge as a better version of himself. However, things now seem sorted between the two.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tony Ferguson’s Net Worth 2024</strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Being one of the most experienced active fighters on the UFC roster, 'El Cucuy' draws a massive number of fans to his bouts. Hence, the UFC provides him with quite remarkable amounts when it comes to his payment, although a large chunk of fans have called him one of the most underpaid UFC fighters. As per the latest reports, Ferguson currently boasts a net worth of about $3.5M.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Like all other UFC fighters, Ferguson also received his UFC salary per fight. It also may vary from one fight to another. The California native received the biggest fight purse of his entire career for his UFC 249 bout against the current 'BMF' contender of the UFC, Justin 'The Highlight' Gaethje as he took home $955,000.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tony Ferguson’s Career Timeline</strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">After a healthy period of training, Ferguson finally began his professional MMA career in 2007. Initially, he fought for a few small Californian promotions named California Xtreme Fighting, Total Fighting Alliance, and a few others. He also amassed a remarkable record of 12-2 which created his pathway to the thirteenth season of the UFC's noted fighting-based reality show, 'The Ultimate Fighter'.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">He made his entry into the show as a part of the noted former UFC Heavyweight champ and WWE star, Brock Lesnar's team. 'The Californian' showcased some superb in-octagon skills to ramp up two consecutive victories and advance to the finals. Hence, 'El Cucuy' made his UFC debut on 4 June 2011, for the final of 'The Ultimate Fighter' against Ramsey Nijem. Ferguson went on to finish his opponent in the first round of his UFC debut bout via KO, earning the 'Knockout of the Night' bonus and announcing his arrival to the UFC in grand style.</p>

Before his fight with <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/justin-gaethje/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Justin Gaethje</a>, Ferguson was on a twelve-fight win streak.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">He attempted to capture the interim title again, but 'The Highlight' stopped him in his tracks. Since then, Ferguson has been on an all-time low in his career, losing out his last seven fights consecutively to a few noted UFC names like <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-chandler/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Michael Chandler</a> and <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-oliveira/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Charles Oliveira</a>.
