Undisputed or otherwise, Ultimate Fighting Championship gold is oftentimes accompanied by life-altering change.
“The Ultimate Fighter 13” winner Tony Ferguson and Xtreme Couture’s Kevin Lee will vie for the interim lightweight title in the UFC 216 main event on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. They will do so in the enormous shadow of Conor McGregor, as the reigning 155-pound champion remains on the sidelines following his blockbuster boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr. a little less than two months ago. The Ferguson-Lee winner could be in line to face McGregor in a unification bout once he finishes counting his millions.
