Tony Ferguson će se suočiti sa Kevinom Leeom na UFC216 u Las Vegasu, gde će u igri biti pojas privremenog prvaka UFC-ove lake kategorije. Ova priredba i borba će se održati 7 oktobra. Ferguson ne želi da gleda treću borbu između Nate Diaza i Conora McGregora.

Ferguson je izjavio za MMAJunkie:

I know where your head’s at, man. You want to be in a money fight – look, you’re fighting the wrong Mexican, man. You’ve got to fight the one with the messed-up ears. The one that you’re fighting is into bikes. That’s not a bad thing, but when you get done playing grab-ass in the boxing ring, you need to come back over here and defend or vacate.
