Tony Ferguson are just a week away from going to war together for the interim UFC lightweight title. Usually, this would give the victor a one-way ticket to fight the champion of their division in order to unify the titles. However, this isn’t happening, at least not yet. Every mention of Conor McGregor’s return fight suggests he’ll be fighting Nate Diaz to defend his lightweight title, maybe as early as March 2018<\/a>. This is something that Ferguson just doesn’t think is right.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next fight for Conor [McGregor] should be whoever wins this interim lightweight title. Regardless of winning or losing this, myself or if it\u2019s Kevin Lee, that b-tch needs to defend or vacate and he needs to unify that belt. Anything else, with as far as him trying to fight Nate [Diaz] and everything else, that\u2019s the bullsh-t rankings and everything else that the UFC stands for just [going] out the window, man.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not Much For Shit Talking, But Man… The Top 5 In This Division Are A Bunch Of Pussies. All Talk No Walk. Atleast @MoTownPhenom<\/a> Has Heart.<\/p>\n
