Eagle FC’s second United States offering saw ‘The Motown Phenom’ Kevin Lee (19-7) overcome a very early injury to his lead leg to otherwise get a shutout win on the scorecards against fellow ex-UFC fighter Diego Sanchez (30-14) in Friday’s main event.
An early kick from Sanchez created some immediate discomfort on Lee’s lead leg that analyst and current UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman picked up on during the broadcast. Lee was heavy on that leg and clearly compromised to the point of occasional stance switching. With all of that said, Lee did largely outstrike Sanchez and put him on the backfoot.
