Tony Ferguson was not impressed by Khabib Nurmagomedov's performance

Published Apr. 16, 2016 9:24 p.m. ET

Khabib Nurmagomedov put an absolute beatdown on UFC newcomer Darrell Horcher on Saturday at UFC on FOX Fight Night in Tampa, scoring his 23rd consecutive career win in his return from a near two-year absence.

"The Eagle" put on a very strong performance, rag-dolling Horcher and crushing him with vicious ground-and-pound that fans surely enjoyed.

But Nurmagomedov original opponent for the Tampa card, Tony Ferguson, was not impressed ... and he didn't let a minute pass before he voiced his opinion.

The pair of top lightweights were originally slated to throw down in a title eliminator bout in the main event of UFC on FOX Fight Night in Tampa but Ferguson withdrew because of injury just 10 days before the big event.

With current champion Rafael dos Anjos defending his title against Eddie Alvarez at UFC Fight Night on July 7, there's plenty of time for the UFC to remake the fight between Nurmagomedov and Ferguson.
