Faced with a common opponent, Kevin Lee did his best to outdo Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC Fight Night 128.
While he faced a harrowing moment courtesy of a spinning heel kick in the third round, Lee might have done exactly that, as he finished Edson Barboza via doctor’s stoppage 2:18 into the fifth round of their headlining bout at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., on Saturday night. While a title shot might not be forthcoming for “The Motown Phenom,” he bounced back nicely from a loss to Tony Ferguson in an interim title bout this past October.
