I'm sure Chiesa would be more than happy to take him on in a rematch of their clash from June, where there is debate over a premature stoppage, although it did seem like it was a matter of time anyway. The UFC president had been a notable absentee at the recent Japan and Pittsburgh events, but he was back in Las Vegas to promote the two title fight offerings UFC 216 has in store this weekend.

The MMA ace faces Kevin Lee for the interim lightweight title, a belt up for grabs because of Conor McGregor's boxing debut and with a fight against the Dubliner lined up for the victor.

"I'm going to go out there and I'm going to finish him". "I don't even think beat Nate Diaz the second time". It will be on my timetable, I'll tell him when we gonna fight. His run of success has included victories over tough journeymen, underappreciated veterans and former champions and yielded seven performances bonuses to boot. Conor didn't want to fight Tony. Tony Ferguson picked up the win with his trademark D'Arce choke, but it did not come easy, and it is easy to say that this contest earned its "Fight of the Night" honors. "I have the ability to take the chaos and mold it like I said". I'm doing the heavy lifting. "So it's a insane one but my wife, she has a gut feeling and when she had a gut feeling for me to go to Big Bear to go and train and get out of the media and stuff, that was the smartest thing we could have did". "I'm hungrier than him". I feel like there doesn't need to be that separation. I want to make sure that my kid doesn't have to fight. I'm fighting Tony. Nobody wanted to fight Tony.
The first and only UFC flyweight champion is viewed by many as the top pound-for-pound fighter going today.
Ferguson to secure the win and become the lightweight champion elect, as McGregor remains on the sidelines. "I've been here before, I've been to this dance and I love to dance". I like a big challenge, so he's gotta show me a little bit. It always has been.
"Who knows, maybe I'll be punching his face in when it happens".
He's fought at least twice a year every year since winning the title and although that doesn't sound all that hard, it doesn't happen as consistently as you mighty think. And I just enjoy tiramisu, I ain't no bitch.
