Kevin Lee anser att hans möte med Tony Ferguson om interimtiteln i lättvikt i själva verket är en fight om det riktiga bältet. Detta eftersom Conor McGregor inte försvarat bältet sedan han vann det i november förra året.
I think it already is for the real championship. People talk about that, like, Conor being, to me, he’s got to prove to me he’s ready to fight.
Kevin Lee menar också att McGregor egentligen har 1-3 i sina fyra senaste matcher, då han inte anser att McGregor vann returmötet med Nate Diaz och räknar in förlusten mot Floyd Mayweather.
As far as I’m concerned the man has lost three of his last four fights. I don’t even think beat Nate Diaz the second time. I like a big challenge, so he’s gotta show me a little bit. He’s a small dude, too, he’s 145. He was getting out-wrestled by a dude who’s 40 years old and a boxer. He was getting him in the clinches and out-wrestling him. I mean, he was, he’s gotta show a little bit more than that to me.
So after this one, maybe I might give him a shot at the title. Maybe, I don’t know. We’ll see how he kind of reacts. Maybe he should fight Nate again and prove that he can fight me.
Återstår att se om Kevin Lee vinner interimbältet mot Ferguson nästa vecka i UFC 216. Kevin Lee har 16-2 i record mot Fergusons 22-3.
