Former interim UFC lightweight title challenger, Kevin Lee is set for his retirement-snapping return to mixed martial arts just later this month — taking on Thiago Oliveira at a Lights Out Championship event on September 28. from Wayne, Michigan.
Lee, a former top-contender at the lightweight limit during his tenure with the UFC, called time on his mixed martial arts career following a dominant opening round guillotine choke submission loss to Rinat Fakhretdinov back in July of last year at the UFC Apex facility.
And linked with a return to combat sports in the time since amid voicing his interest in fighting again, Grand Rapids native, Lee has now been booked to feature at a Lights Out Championship event later this month in a showdown against the above-mentioned Oliveira — returning to the welterweight limit.
