Your move, Conor McGregor.
“The Ultimate Fighter 13” winner Tony Ferguson laid claim to the interim Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title, as he submitted Kevin Lee with a triangle choke in the third round of their UFC 216 headliner on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Lee (16-3, 9-3 UFC) conceded defeat 4:02 into Round 3, his five-fight winning streak having run its course.
Ferguson (23-3, 13-1 UFC) now awaits word from McGregor, who has not appeared inside the Octagon since he defeated Eddie Alvarez for the undisputed lightweight crown in November.
