Kevin Lee is a fighter who currently ranks seventh in the lightweight ranking, same category where McGregor is champion. The ex-contender to the interim title of 155lbs, gave his opinion on what he thinks will be the future of the lightweight division of the UFC.
“Khabib is the number one contender, and Conor is sitting out of this,” Lee told BJPenn.com. “I do not know. I like the fight (Ferguson vs Nurmagomedov). I think it’s a more interesting fight and people will give credit. I do not know. I think Tony will be better, and he will be able to get past Khabib, and then he will go out and destroy Conor (McGregor), and I think I will be able to climb in some way or another. ”
Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov will meet again on April 7 in Brooklyn, as part of UFC 223.
