Last night, in the main event of the action-packed UFC 216, streaking UFC lightweight contender Tony Ferguson stepped into the cage with the dangerous Kevin Lee in an interim lightweight title fight. Though Lee started strong, Ferguson ultimately came out on top in this affair, sealing the deal with a third-round triangle choke.
Now that he’s the interim UFC lightweight champion, the hope is that Tony Ferguson will unify his title with the undisputed title currently owned by Conor McGregor. Given that nothing is certain when it comes to McGregor, however, Ferguson needed to cut a dynamite, post-fight promo to help coax the Irishman into the fight.
Did he succeed in doing so? You be the judge. See his heated call-out of McGregor in the video of the top of this post.
“Where you at McNuggets, ya f**king piece of s**t,” Ferguson bellowed into the mic in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. “I’m gonna kick your ass. You better come and f**king defend that belt. Defend or vacate, motherf**ker.”
Do you think Conor McGregor will unify the lightweight titles in a battle with Tony Ferguson, or will he take a different route? Join the debate in the comments section!
