In arguably the UFC’s most talent-rich division, there’s only one fight that company president Dana White wants to discuss right now.
Saturday’s UFC 216 event in Las Vegas was capped off by Tony Ferguson submitting Kevin Lee in the third round of the headliner to capture an interim lightweight title. It was a star-making moment for Ferguson, who has racked up 10 straight wins and compiled a championship-level résumé inside the Octagon.
The next logical move would be for the matchmakers to pair him up with undisputed lightweight titleholder Conor McGregor, though “The Notorious” has expressed interest in a variety of opponents, including meeting Nate Diaz in a trilogy bout at some point in the future.
