Tony Ferguson is approximately one week away from potentially becoming the UFC’s new interim lightweight champion should he get past Kevin Lee in the UFC 216 headliner.
Normally, that would lead to a title unification bout against the division’s undisputed champion, but the the rules are a little bit different when the belt holder is Conor McGregor. The “Notorious” one is coming off a lucrative boxing match against Floyd Mayweather on Aug. 26 and is less likely than ever to settle for anything but another blockbuster fight.
Whether that’s the Ferguson-Lee winner remains to be seen.
