At UFC 216 in Las Vegas, Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee will face off for the interim UFC lightweight belt.

During last month’s media day, both fighters made it clear that they weren’t going to hold back on smack talking each other. Their disdain for one another was also clear on Thursday’s conference call.

Ferguson and Lee also voiced their opinions on current lightweight champion Conor McGregor not defending the belt and possibly fighting Nate Diaz a third time.

The lightweight title match will serve as the main event for UFC 216 on Oct. 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
