The first to speak to Lee, who assured that he is still in the process of developing his career, unlike Tony, who he judged as 'decadent'. “Tony, the man who is already heading downhill. He's 33 years old and he's saying what he's going to do to the other guy on the line, so let him say what he wants. After this fight, he will know my name. People are confused, questioning why I'm doing this or that, but I'll say again what I said months ago: I'm the real king here. I'm 25 years old, I'm starting out, evolving, while he's getting worse every day”, he teased.

And enjoy the victories you've had, because this will end (…) You're the biggest fake I've ever seen. He got a title fight, but he won't even be able to leave the cage alone. I have 11 fights in the UFC, and you…” replied Ferguson, who heard Kevin respond by mocking the opponents his rival beat, including the Brazilians. Edson Barboza e Rafael dos Anjos.
