Kevin Lee has said that he thinks Ben Askren is ‘probably’ the easiest fight at 170-pounds, and he would also be open to a rematch with Michael Chiesa.
Lee (17-5) is riding consecutive losses for the first time in his MMA career. A unanimous decision loss to Al Iaquinta in December of last year saw Lee move up to welterweight for the first time in his UFC career, however his debut at 170-pounds was dampened by submission loss to Rafael Dos Anjos.
Talking to Submission Radio, Lee explained why he thinks Askren, who recently lost to Jorge Masvidal by knockout in just five seconds, is the easiest fight at welterweight.
