LAS VEGAS – For one final time before Saturday’s UFC 216 main event, heated lightweight rivals Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee got face to face.
And Ferguson was intent on not hearing anything Lee had to say. Instead, he came equipped with his buds in, listening, he said, to “Strawbbery Letter 23” by The Brothers Johnson, a 40-year-old funk song.
Ferguson (23-3 MMA, 13-1 UFC) and Lee (16-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) meet Saturday for the interim lightweight title in the UFC 216 main event, which takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.
Ahead of their headliner, check out the title challengers facing off at the ceremonial weigh-ins today at T-Mobile Arena, where UFC President Dana White made sure the two didn’t get that close to each other.
