This Saturday, in the main event<\/a> of the stacked UFC 216, Kevin Lee and Tony Ferguson will battle for the UFC interim lightweight title.<\/p>\n

Lee will enter this fight on an applause-worthy 5-fight win-streak. Ferguson, meanwhile, will step into the cage with an even more impressive nine straight wins in his wake.<\/p>\n

According to Lee, however, Ferguson’s division-best win-streak isn’t as impressive as it seems. In his opinion, Ferguson could have lost a number of his recent fights, and was decidedly losing some of them at some points.<\/p>\n

\u201cTony is super aggressive. That\u2019s kind of what he relies on. Even though you say he\u2019s won [nine] fights in a row, I look at a lot of them and say, he could have lost a lot of those,\u201d Lee said on the\u00a0UFC \u201cUnfiltered\u201d podcast <\/a>(via Sherdog.com<\/a>).\u00a0\u201cHe was getting getting his ass whooped by [Abel Trujillo], he was getting his ass whooped by [Rafael] dos Anjos\u2026.[but] I do give Tony a whole lot of respect.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Tony<\/p>\n

Whether Ferguson’s win-streak holds water or not, Lee is determined to go out and expose the holes in his game this Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s talking about training like a caveman<\/a>,” Lee added. “There\u2019s a reason why cavemen are extinct, they don\u2019t last too long. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s filled the holes in his game. I\u2019m gonna go out there and show those holes. \u201c<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lee is also hoping that, with so many wins behind him, Ferguson isn’t taking him particularly seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s up to him. If he don\u2019t want to, then he\u2019s gonna see,\u201d Lee said. \u201cBecause I\u2019m taking it like the biggest fight of my life. I love easy money. I wish he wouldn\u2019t [take me seriously].\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
