UFC has turned the hype factor for Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson up a notch by dropping a spine-tingling promo for the mega-clash.

Khabib, 31, will put the lightweight championship on the line against Ferguson on 18th April at UFC 249.

And with the UFC showdown coming up -- booked for the fifth time by the UFC -- the promo focuses on the "biggest fight in the history of the UFC lightweight division."

The promo opens with the undefeated Khabib speaking about his incredible achievements and opponents that he has beaten, including Al Iaquinta and Conor McGregor.

But the 'Eagle' claims that for his legacy to be cemented he "must beat Tony Ferguson."

The promo then touches on the amount of times UFC tried to book the fight and spliced it with clips from Khabib and Ferguson's fights.

Fans have also shared their excitement for one of the most hotly-anticipated clashes in UFC history.

One YouTube commenter wrote: "I know they always use the 'most anticipated fight' line but in this case... it's kind of legit."

While user Abhishek Sathe posted: "The man who doesnt [sic] bleed vs The man who makes everyone bleed."

A third MMA fan argued: "Tony vs Khabib is the Super Bowl of MMA both on historic win streaks in the toughest division in... MMA Stylistically evenly matched on paper the greatest fight of our Generation [sic]."

And a fourth user added: "This fight will be remembered even after 2070.. we are going to witness some greatness... Blessed fans."

Khabib and Ferguson took their rivalry to the next level when the pair met during their UFC 249 press conference in Las Vegas last week.

The two UFC stars traded verbal blows during a heated press conference, which culminated in Khabib kicking Ferguson's former interim lightweight title off the stage.
