Kevin Lee was as entertained as everyone else on Saturday night, seeing Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje throw down for the better part of four rounds. That UFC on FOX 29 main event clash saw Poirier come out on top via TKO and pick up his seventh win in eight bouts (excluding one no-contest) and afterwards “The Diamond” spoke about wanting a crack at lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
On that front, Lee thinks the hype from this weekend has gone too far.
“The Motown Phenom” appeared on The MMA Hour on Monday, where he made it clear that while Poirier and Gaethje put on a fun fight, he doesn’t think they belong in the upper echelon of the 155-pound division.
