The UFC’s lightweight division is the most talented weight-class in the UFC today.
Keeping true to his word, the top ranked and extremely active Tony Ferguson kept his 10-fight win streak intact and won UFC interim gold in the process, in Saturday night’s UFC 216 main event.
Ferguson was able to submit Kevin Lee to earn the belt and a likely fight against Conor McGregor.
Conor though, he’s hard to pin down. With a potential fight against Nate Diaz, Paulie Malignaggi, even Canelo Alvarez, it all depends on when and where and who for Conor.
During the UFC on FOX Post-Fight show, UFC president Dana White was asked if a unification bout between Conor and Tony was actually going to happen.
Dana said it will absolutely happen. “Yes, We will unify this belt,” said the UFC boss. “I just don’t know when”.
So while no date or immediate plans for the unification bout have been set, but the UFC boss is promising it will get done.
Here’s Dana’s full statement:
Will we see a title unification fight between Conor McGregor and Tony Ferguson? Dana White has the answer. #UFC216 https://t.co/BMJ5teGWgK
