The UFC crowned Tony Ferguson as their interim lightweight champion at last night’s UFC 216 event in Las Vegas, this after “El Cucuy” submitted Kevin Lee in the pay-per-view main event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ferguson was able to weather an early storm from Lee and eventually forced “The MoTown Phenom” to tapout to a triangle choke in round three.<\/p>\n

Following his title earning victory, Ferguson immediately turned his attention to current UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor in his post-fight interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere you at McNuggets, ya f**king piece of s**t,\u201d Ferguson bellowed into the mic in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. \u201cI\u2019m gonna kick your ass. You better come and f**king defend that belt. Defend or vacate, motherf**ker.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Conor McGregor has not competed inside the octagon since defeating Eddie Alvarez via second-round knockout at UFC 205 <\/a>in November of 2016 which earned the Irishman the UFC’s lightweight title.<\/p>\n

“Mystic Mac” most recently took his talents to the squared circle where he squared off with undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather this past August in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

McGregor would end up suffering a tenth-round TKO loss to Mayweather<\/a>, but his performance in the boxing super fight only raised his stock as a fighter.<\/p>\n

When speaking of his return to the UFC, McGregor has hinted that he would like to have a rubber match with bitter rival Nate Diaz. <\/p>\n

The McGregor vs Diaz trilogy fight was briefly linked to December’s UFC 219 event but according to UFC President Dana White that is just “internet bulls**t”.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody\u2019s talked about (Nate) Diaz. Diaz has never been talked about. That\u2019s Internet bull***t. Tony\u2019s the interim champion. Conor\u2019s the champion. It\u2019s the fight that makes sense.\u00a0It\u2019s the fight that has to happen, it doesn\u2019t \u2018make sense,\u2019 it\u2019s the fight that has to happen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
