Tony Ferguson vs. Kevin Lee Set For Interim Lightweight Title Fight

With Conor McGregor less than two weeks away from his fight against Floyd Mayweather, the lightweight division will move forward without him as a new interim champion will be crowned. Tony Ferguson will face off with Kevin Lee in a fight to determine the new interim title holder at 155 pounds with the fight tentatively scheduled for UFC 216 in Las Vegas on Oct. 7. White also added that Lee got the shot at the interim title after top ranked contender Khabib Nurmagomedov was unable to accept the fight due to injury.
