Filed under: News , UFC LAS VEGAS – The UFC may be putting on an interim UFC lightweight title fight between Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee at UFC 216, but that doesn’t mean the winner is certain to fight Conor McGregor next. UFC President Dana White was asked if whoever wins between Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) and Lee (16-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) will be the next to share the octagon with UFC lightweight champion McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) following Saturday’s boxing match with Floyd Mayweather. He said he has thought much beyond the upcoming contest and wouldn’t confirm any scenarios for “The Notorious.” Related Video: UFC 215, UFC 216 media day face-offs, where Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee get heated “I don’t know, we’ll see,” White told reporters at Thursday’s UFC 216 media day. “I haven’t focused on anything except this fight (between Mayweather and McGregor).” UFC 216 takes place Oct. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
